पेपा पिग

I love the bits of adult humor that pops up every now and then. As an adult you can get a good giggle out of every other episode. And I love Madam Gazelle. Face it, she's from the old country, doesn't have a reflection and was the teacher to all the parents as well! Mmmm...

Peppa behaviour is very irritating. She is self centered/selfish/jealous. My baby is crazy about this series but Iam worried will he copy her behaviour.

I enjoy watching this with my daughter and we get some good laughs. Some of our favorite scenes are the interactions between Peppa and Suzy. Not all tv needs to be educational and this is still a million times better than Easter egg videos on YouTube and the like. It sparks conversation, humor and so bonding. It's a win from me.

People complaining about the fat jokes are forgetting this is a family of PIGS. They're supposed to be fat and piggy, that's the point.

At the time of writing this has a paltry 6.0 out of 10.0 I don't know who's been voting on it but this is the best kids program on telly. In fact I signed up just to comment on this. ( I managed to avoid signing up for the past 3 year despite viewing the site regularly, which shows how serious I am about Peppa Pig's greatness) With 2 out of 3 Children being "Peppa Pig Viewing Age" for the last 4 years, it is the one kids program that I can and have to watch time and time again. Unlike Backyardigans, Teletubbies and Dora, which are annoying and repetitive in different measures, Peppa Pig is a pleasant, light hearted and fun program for kids to watch.

There are several layers of humour and my wife and I often giggle at some of the stupid stuff Daddy pig gets up to, its just a funny little program with no pretension it doesn't ram messages down your kids throat though there are lessons to be learnt.

Well done to everyone involved in making this program, I probably have a year or 2 left of watching the first tier of kids programs and if it wasn't for Peppa Pig the prospect would be a bleak one.

Youtube unfortunately have deactivated all comments under kids' videos...no way for parents to share feedback anymore. So in case anyone looks here:

Peppa Pig is a totally charming and well-meaning 'family sitcom'. There's plenty of funny scenes which will be familiar to parents. The eps are in bite-size 5min lengths. Perfect for the odd treat and nice to watch together with your toddler.

If you want a time-out, Youtube has a few uploads where 3 full eps are viewable: search for Peppa Pig "3 episodes". These eps are in full, with a total length of just under 15 minutes.

But beware:

over the last few years Toddler Youtube channels have become incredibly lazy: i.e. Automated. Instead of uploading a single video (say 5-15min long) with a coherent narrative, the channels now upload hour-long 'compilations' which are randomly-edited (probably by bot-scripts). This means if you're not supervising, your toddler will watch stories suddenly stop right in the middle of their narrative, and cut to the middle of a totally different 'episode'. This can't be good for learning! Even the official channel for Peppa Pig is doing this. And as Youtube deactivated comments there's no way to feedback on it.
