Le avventure di Piggley Winks

Found this show by accident skimming the Time Warner cable guide. Almost skipped it because of the name, which made no sense to me, but I flipped past the channel and was instantly captivated by the terrific animation. My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves Jojo's Circus and The Koala Brothers, and the animation was similar (better in my opinion) and the Irish accents on Jakers are charming (especially since we're Irish). After seeing a couple of episodes now, I love the stories and so does my daughter. They are not overly dumded down like too many kids shows. The show gives good messages in one of the most intelligent and fun ways of any kid's show I've seen. As I said, I have a 2 1/2 year old so I've seen a LOT! I was also certain I recognized the voice of the one sheep, and sure enough, in looking it up on IMDb, I found it IS Mel Brooks playing the voice of a hilarious character! The characters in this little show are extremely well developed and presented. I highly recommend it to anyone! GREAT little series!

I'm pretty sure they write this for adults, and then just remove anything that isn't appropriate for kids. Just a laugh a minute. My eight-year-old caught me watching it and was amazed to see me laughing at a kid's show. Better than the vast majority of the sitcoms that run during prime time, Jaker's is worth recording this during the day and using it to fill in the dead spots on the television lineup during the evening. Remarkable how good a kid's show can be when a few good writers put their mind to making something durable. Keeping it accessible to young viewers makes this quite a trick, and Jaker's does it.

Wiley the sheep sounds suspiciously like former Gov. William J. LePetomaine of Nevada. Career change?

Anyone remember the episode where they all turn into lettuce in a dream? Gave me nightmares for days as a kid

I love this show. I watch it every morning when I get up. The characters are so damn cute and the animation is awesome. I love the Irish accents. I'm 19 years old and this show is one of my favorites. It kicks my ass. Whoever made this show is a genius. I seriously can't decide which character is the cutest. Maybe Molly. And I just figured out today that Mel Brooks does the voice of Wiley the sheep. This is theeeeeeee most awesome show Evarrrrr. Why do I have to make ten lines of text when all you have to do is go watch PBS and see how awesome it is for yourself. Do it. I seriously wish there were cute shows like this on when I was young. I do have to mention that Sean and Seemus get on my nerves though. Woo

Have just discovered this on Children's TV on BBC 1 and it's brilliant! The characters are original and charming however the stars of the show are the 'random' sheep (voiced by Mel Brookes...say no more!)

The situations featured in the stories are the things that children face all the time, which is why it appeals to all ages. The 'moral' to the tale is stated at the end, although it is the characters of the 'children' (pig, duck, bull) that makes it so charming. Although animals they are realistic.

The programme works on several layers though (especially with the sheep who offer a parrallel story)which is why its wit also appeals to adults.

This is wasted on children!
