La Pat' Patrouille

I often wonder how people can say that Breaking Bad is the best TV show of all time when this one exists. The only bad part is that the dubbing to Swedish is awful.

While some of the reviews obvious anger at a kid's show having talking dogs is entertaining, the fact is no show was watched more at my mom's day home, because it grabbed the kid's attention more than anything. The same was true for my younger family members when they were younger. Because I was often babysitting tried to get them to watch kids shows that I liked as a kid like SpongeBob but in the end the kids always circled back to PAW Patrol. The show does exactly what it should, no more, no less. And heck, there were even a few rare gems where I had to chuckle. Are you, as an adult gonna enjoy? No. Well, probably not. Will your kid eat it up? Yes; and that's what matters.

My son loves this show, but in this particular episode I have one really curious question. When Mr. Porter's oven blows up and he can no longer cook his famous chili. He calls on Ryder and his pups to help. So they come up with a plan to cook the chili outside because Mr. Porter's stove is broken. You mean to tell me that in all of Adventure Bay nobody else has a damn stove? I mean where does Ryder and Mayor Goodway cook their meals for the day. Really I am seriously concerned about how everybody else cooks their meals. Also why is that rubble is cooking the chili and not Ryder or Mayor Goodway. Can anybody help me figure this out?

Just saying ! Generally a fun show for the kids just some of the cast seem to go from kids to middle aged ...

I see why PAW Patrol is so popular - it's funny, but nothing too harsh for a preschool-aged viewer. Unlike most preschool-oriented programs, this show never tries to "hammer home" educational concepts or gets too repetitive (although I must say that the few episodes involving a minor character named Alex were quite bad). The six pups' names were a bit difficult to get down at first, but it seems as if they're engraved in my head now. As for Ryder - the boy in charge of the whole operation - he's a good role model; unlike some TV show "leaders" I've seen, he demonstrates leadership in a very positive way. Cap'n Turbot, the scientist character, is also a positive role model who might just inspire young fans to learn more about science and biology. There are definitely messages about teamwork and overcoming differences in each episode. Overall, I think that PAW Patrol has the potential to become a kiddie show classic like Dora the Explorer or SpongeBob.
