Talking Tom & Friends

I know how it looks, it's an animated show about talking cats and dogs made for kids. The production value isn't that high, and the animation is just middle of the road. You probably passed by it on the netflix kids app and maybe you've even heard of the incredibly annoying children's app that spawned the whole series. This show should be awful. It should be just a mindless time waster meant to distract kids for a few minutes at a time, at least that's what I thought when my 5 year old niece made me put it on while I was babysitting. Here's the thing, I really, really like this show. I felt actual disappointment when I had to leave after I was done babysitting because I just wanted to keep watching. The writing is funny and sharp, there are tons of references, it's not afraid to make fun of itself and the characters are all so damn lovable. It's a good show. It's like the writers sat down and realized that adults would have to watch this with their kids and decided to serve both audiences, what a crazy idea, right? Seriously though, this show has no business being as good as it is, but for some reason or another, it actually is good. Next time you're babysitting, or trying to find something kid friendly to watch that won't make you want to pull out your hair, give this show a shot.

...and their not so happy effects. This is the essence of this pleasant cartoon, full of technology, great ideas and disasters , seductive for a form of innocence and fair portrait of friendship, lovely for the resurrection of memories about childhood experiments. Very short episodes and smart way to seduce kids and ...adults.

I found this show on Netflix. I really wasn't too attracted to the theme, but I was happily surprised. The animation was not particularly attractive, but the quality was high. What I enjoyed the most was the stories. The writers used a lot of material from popular movies, but the twists and the fusion of it was greatly entertaining. The show was fast paced and didn't drag. Even though there were a large amount of episodes, they managed to keep coming up with new a different plots. My son also loved the show, so it was a great family time. I would recommend this show to anybody. The only negative I might give it is that it doesn't always present the highest level of morality for children which is why I only gave it 9 stars out of 10.

I found this show on Netflix one day and remembered seeing the Talking Tom game in the app store. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I can say I was pleasantly surprised. Each episode has a different, unique plot so it never gets boring. However, the episodes do have some level of continuity. The plot is pretty interesting for a kids cartoon. The basic concept is also fairly interesting-Tom and Ben, who have extremely different personalities, own a tech company, which they run from the garage they live in. Along with them is Hank, who is mostly there for comedic purposes and moral support, Ginger, a troublesome 7-year old who hangs out at the garage, and Angela, an aspiring singer and Tom's love interest. This unique cast of characters really work well together. I won't get too much into the characters and plot, because that would contain "spoilers". However, there isn't much to spoil. It's a very easy to watch, binge-able show (each episode is only around 11 minutes) and I really appreciate the work that goes into making the series. If you go into how based in reality the show is or how the show could've been better, it wouldn't be Talking Tom and Friends. But enough said, if you have young children (or a couple hours to spare), give it a try. Hope this helped.

The older episodes feel more like a sitcom, with the transitions, the cutaways, and the subplots included in between. But I still like the show, even with the changes.
