The Doodlebops

I have a son that's almost three, and he loves anything that has singing in it. The difference between most kids shows and The Doodlebops is that these folks can actually carry a tune! This, of course, isn't the only plus for the show. The characters of DeeDee, Rooney, and Moe are very easy for preschoolers to relate to. They play, laugh, and have fun...but they argue occasionally, too. They always manage to make up, though...teaching kids that it's OK to disagree or even "fight" with your friends as long as you know when to apologize. The Doodlebops are bright and colorful, and the show is fast-paced. I definitely recommend this for anyone that has kids in the 3-7 range. Four stars!

I watch my granddaughter M - F all day long. She's 2 years old and she LOVES this show. Its on twice a day but we also have recorded a few shows. She'll get tired of playing and comes up to me and asks for doodle bops. She loves Moe and almost every song they sing she tries to dance along with them. She loves when Bus driver Bob shows up and the song they sing on the bus. And she loves the "where's Moe" segment at the beginning of each show. Its a wonderful show and I'm so happy I can share this with my granddaughter. My friends granddaughter is also 2 and she loves the show. We think its great and can't wait until they tour the US. We'll all be there!

Doodlebops may be 30% the same every episode, and not have much "book" knowledge woven in, but kids seem to love it. My 2 year old LOVES the Doodlebops!!! While he may not be learning the ABCs or 123s, it does expose him to music and rhythm. Through repetition, (a lot of repetition) he is exposed to music and very simple life concepts, like "try try again" or "being a good friend". Not all shows for toddlers need to be "educational" . As a parent it is my job to teach him is ABCs and 123s. Television is recreational, and as a parent I don't rely on TV to teach my child. He only watches a few shows a day for entertainment. While adults may find Doodlebops boring and repetitive, two- year olds think it is great entertainment. I keep at least 2 episodes on my TIVO at all times!!! I mean, his favorite game is peek-a-boo (which is basically the "where's Mo" part of the beginning of each show, so this is right up his alley. He has only seen the show for a week or so and already can sing along. Of course in a few weeks he will probably be onto something else, but for now when given a choice, he wants to watch Doodlebops. There are definitely a lot worse things he could be into, at least the lyrics and costumes are clean. Seeing my son smile, and laugh for a half hour, is the what makes Doodlebops tolerable to parents. Parents may not love it, but you will love watching your kids enjoy it!

Here's a fun, exhilarating show for the kids that is always positive. Well performed and produced, someone should tell this other 'reviewer he/she is a stick-in-the-mud. Relax. Every single kid's show doesn't have to be 'educational'. Kids have a right to have fun too, without everything having a message crammed down their little throats. Hey Mom/Pop (whichever), didn't you ever watch Seinfeld, Friends and other sitcoms. Were they educational??? Come on!! Very colorful and appealing costumes. Cute songs with a positive slant. Likable characters in DeDe, Rooney and Moe. Here's hoping the Doodlebops are around for a very long time.

okay... it seems as adults we know what we like... put yourself in a 2-6 year olds place! music, colors, dancing, singing all attract a child! as adults we cannot grasp some children's shows because we are above them and know more then a 2-6 year old! children are attracted to shows for their spunk, not educational value.... doodle bops are cute... they have talent... i couldn't stand half these shows until i looked at it from a child's perspective! they act silly and kids like that! its crazy to us, but again, we are not 2-6 years old!!i am not bashing anyone so please keep your negative comments (if for me) to yourself and act like a "grown-up". i am not here for that nonsense! just stating my opinion! :) either agree or disagree and say why...? thanks for reading!!
