Bo on the GO!

The graphics are terrible! They look like something out of a PS2 or Wii game! Those system's graphics aren't bad by all means, it's just, that's what this show looks like

"Bo On the Go" is one of the worst television shows ever. It follows one basic formula that never changes. While a show like "Phineas and Ferb" follows a consistent formula, it frequently changes up the premise, has a fun concept, and most importantly, has good writing. "Bo On the Go" has none of these qualities. It's premise is as child-safe and inoffensive as sleeping, except without the enjoyable qualities. The show tries to encourage exercising by comparing exercises to animal movements. But aside from that, "Bo On the Go" has no creative ideas in animation, story, or writing.

The first and most important thing to know about this show is that each and every episode is exactly the same. The formula they use is not just loosely repetitive; it is almost exactly the same each episode with only the most minor of changes.

It starts with a problem. Then they have to summon "wizard" (requiring some stupid physical activity) to tell them what they must do to solve the problem. He ALWAYS tells them they must enter the chamber of doors.

So to get the chamber of doors to appear, more physical activity is required. Bo is like this little energy vampire that leeches off the viewer... it's actually quite creepy.

They have to open the first two doors for no discernible reason other than the door that solves the problem is always the third door, so I suppose two diversions are always required.

Throughout all of this are trite rhymes, horrible and annoying voice acting, and ridiculous "solutions" to problems.

When I say horrible and annoying voice acting, I mean it.

Bo's voice is one of the most annoying I have ever heard. This is especially when she says things like:

"As high as you CAAAAN, reach out your HAAANDS"... the inflection on those words is annoying as can be.

Then there's the odd way she says "Will ya help me?"

And when she says "when you move with me you give me energy", she pronounces "energy" like "En-er-chi" (like Chi, that mystic energy of eastern religions)

And the dinosaur, oh my god that dinosaur... whoever voiced him has the worst voice ever. It's raspy, too loud, and monosyllabic.

"A DOOR!" "ANIMOVES!" "BO ZONE!!!"

He's always YELLING his words.

It's not shocking why this show only had one season.

The ONLY redeeming value of this show is that it attempts to get kids to move and exercise.

I think this show is intended for VERY young children, and I have enjoyed watching my grandchildren (1 and 2 years old) summoning the wizard, stretching for the keys, and doing "animoves". It's fun and active and helps teach pattern recognition. Yes, of course, we know we we have to reach for the key EVERY time, but that's really the point here.

The only thing we joke about is that Bo is a bit ego-centric. Especially when she says something is "Bo-Brilliant". :)

If you are looking for a good story-line and strong character development, then, no, this isn't the show you are looking for. If you are looking for a good, simple, active show for toddlers, "Bo on the GO!" fills the bill nicely.

My 2 year old toddler watch this a 1000 times a day and my 6 month old infant love this show, they prefer to watch this over any other kids cartoon. It would be cool if they come out with toys !!
