Zoboomafoo

Oh gosh, I remember this show...I was just thinking about it the other day and now I'm coming across it here. Never made a mental note of the title because I rarely caught it for some reason but when I did I liked it.

I thought this was a pretty swell piece of edutainment. I still remember a lot of the animal trivia they taught us with its 3 charismatic but playful hosts (two humans and a surprisingly convincing lemur puppet).

They break up the live action parts with a stop-motion section about the puppet so the episode has variety.

I haven't seen this for over 10 years but if you want something animal related and informative you can watch with your smaller ones then this one would not be too excruciating. In fact, it's very charming.

...and adults alike. Ok, I'll admit it: I watch Zoboomafoo! And I'm not ashamed of it. =) I stumbled across this show one afternoon when Montel was a repeat, and Rosie was a repeat and there was nothing else on. It's great! It's like "The Crocodile Hunter" for children. Lots of animals, goofy brothers who host the show, and a talking leemur as the mascot! Who wouldn't love this show? This one ranks right up there with "Sesame Street" and "The Muppets" from back in my day. (I'm only 18, but that's over-the-hill these days.) I highly recommed this show to everyone.

This was my favorite show growing up and even now it's just as good! Very good show for introducing children to the great wonders of nature and the animals that live in it. Can't rate this high enough!

This series is excellent and stands out in children's (and adults!) entertainment. It is educational with joyful and playful abandon. I highly recommend it for all ages but especially if you are looking for great role models and riveting entertainment for your children. My 5 year old has been watching the DVD's since he was 2 and he still bounces around the room like a kangaroo while he watches these favorites! We have to get these wonderful Canadian(?) DVD's posted to us here in Australia and eagerly anticipate each new release. If you are a parent in North America count yourself very fortunate to have such easy access to these fabulous productions. I highly recommend every DVD produced to date by "Zoboomafoo". Enjoy!

And neither can I! But I'm 32...soon to be 33.

I saw a few episodes and liked it. I love the leaping lemur's colorful animated sequences and the cartoons of mysterious lumps turning into cute animals! It's such a whimsical "Animal Planet" show for preschoolers where the grown brothers play around with all kinds of critters and run off into adventures with their camping equipment to explore the wilderness. It's a real romp in the vine-covered playroom indeed!
