Oswald

Just a few items from Oswald, a show as a father, I tremendously enjoy watching with my four-year old daughter.

I too, always feel good about actors making time to do shows for kids. People like the Fred Savage's, David Lander's and God rest his soul, John Ritter (Clifford) should be commended for their efforts.

My daughter loves just saying the word.....Oswald.....just like they do at the end of the opening.....she loves all the characters, and always gets a kick out of whatever problem gets solved....

This is a great show....and surprisingly, it took me a while to really enjoy it. But now I can watch it two times a day.

No more, no less.

Wow! This is a really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational show. I said that because I watch this on Nickelodeon and Noggin with my 19-month-old nephew from time to time. It's hard to say which show on Nickelodeon and Noggin is the best. Still it's really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that the people at Nickelodeon and Noggin really know how to reach a toddler's developing mind. Now, in conclusion, if you have children, nieces, or nephews, I strongly recommend this really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational show. I guarantee you that they will enjoy it.

Maybe I shouldn't be admitting this due to my age,but I cant help but love Oswald,and be captivated for the 15 minutes its on TV each day.The big friendly blue octopus is lovable and delightful,and is voiced appropriately by the gentle natured Fred Savage whose child-like enthusiastic and cheerful tone of voice brings the character of Oswald to life.I can see why little kids adore this show,because I always have a smile on my face when I'm watching it because its just so bright,happy and playful,and is a good quality show for the kiddies.Characters such as Oswald's best friends Weenie the Hot Dog,and Henry the Octopus are very cute and entertaining contributions to the show.I cant help but be in love with the show,and I don't care if I'm too old for it.I love the warm fuzzy feeling I get inside after watching it.Fun,cheerful and uplifting.

Browsing the other users' comments, it's nice to see I'm not the only adult who enjoys Oswald.

Personally, I find the arrangement of themes, melodies, voices, colours and shapes intensely soothing. I'm convinced there's something scientific, almost mathematical, in the way the elements come together to balance out my alpha waves, or chi, or biorhythms, or... uh, some such thing.

Well, it's clear that I'm not quite ready to write a thesis on the subject, so here it is in a nutshell: Oswald is an iron fist to black moods, in a friendly blue octopus-shaped glove. Watch an episode by yourself, or with your preschoolers (borrow some, if you must): I defy you not to have a smile on your face when it's over.

While at first glance one might say "the writers of this show must be on some serious drugs!", upon watching it you will see that it is a charming, imaginative, and very creative show. My 3 1/2 year old daughter just loves it. She could watch it for hours. I must admit, there is something mesmerizing about it. Oswald is a hit! (I'm just not sure quite why)
