Blippi

I'm unsure how this show was ever approved for children.

The guy behaves like a complete idiot, and teaches to children like they are really stupid. You don't have to walk or dance around foolishly like that to gain a child's attention. Children deserve more credit than that, they are intelligent and eager to learn without this kind of behaviour. He also constantly puts on this high pitched annoying voice.

There are two different Blippi's and they are both as bad as each other.

Please don't watch this and find your child something more educational to watch that doesn't treat them like they are daft.

I love that this show has a lot of educational factors, such as Blippi going to museums or science centers. But the entire show is nothing but free advertisement fed to children. Every episode is basically Blippi persuading children that they should go to these places. Also, it is infuriating that he has to spell his name every five minutes. My daughter is only 2 years old and walks around the house spelling his name all day when she can't even spell her own name. And when she calls out letters, I get happy because I think she's trying to say the word, but it always ends with her saying "Blippi". So now she has associated chaining any letters together as saying his name. It's kind of creepy because him spelling/writing his name seems like a way of brainwashing children to only remember HIM and nothing he teaches. Why not teach children to spell/write other words? I try to help my daughter spell other things now because of this.

I do not doubt that general education is taught in this show, but it seems to be catered more toward little boys. Also, there was an episode where Blippi goes to a demolition derby and destroys a car. He spray paints the car and beats on it. There is even an episode where he is supposed to be washing a truck but instead, he splashes the vehicle with ketchup and mustard. Like, what is my daughter supposed to learn from that? Vandalism?

I will say that I find the show an excellent to share practical (and real world experience) to things that are intellectually stimulating for a toddler, in a manner to which a toddler can understand. My son loves the character's energy, colours, and behaviour. I also believe it's a good show to help toddlers keep their childhood innocence - as for the 7/10, I've always been the more serious type.

As for the actor, well, as time moves forward, we all age, and mature - some want to leave good behind, hoping the next generation will learn beneficial, and kind, things.

As for all the parents out there, we all know how business works; show, and sell products, especially with good marketing. I also know that this series is not big budget, so it's bound to have more hiccups. I also consider this show one of the cleanest shows I have ever seen; it's much better than most media out there. That said, I know it allows my inner, child-like playfulness to come out, allowing me to bond with my child in an additional way.

I always wondered if Pee-Wee Herman had a son, now I know.

My 2 year old loves Blippi and so do I!! I love that it's educational and not just another junky stupid video out there. Thank you Blippi for your hard work in putting these videos together for all of us to enjoy. Keep up the good work and can't wait for more videos!
