Manny tuttofare

This show is great for kids. It's unique and has great lessons for kids to learn. It's not like Bob the Builder nor should it be compared to it. This is totally different and effects a completely different age group and possibly generation. The mix of English to Spanish is good because it's not trying to teach kids Spanish but keeps them understanding that some kids might talk in broken English. Therefore it teaches them tolerance. Lately I believe that kids shows have been striking out for age groups 5 to 10 but this is a great one and the producers did a fantastic job on this one. I love to sit and watch it myself with my niece. She learns about fears, expectations, and that you can do and be anything you want. This show is great for both boys and girls. It's worth the watch and it's worth the time to set your kids in front the the television (which normally I would not condone). I love that the voice of Manny is a former "That 70's Show" Character. Way to go "Fez". How wonderful for you to break the mold of mainstream TV stars and break into children's television. You have earned my respect as an actor. Back to the show though, this show was worth the wait to see and continues to surprise me with the great episodes they put out. This show has earned my respect as a children's show. The voices and the people behind the show are wonderful creators and deserve so much credit.

Handy Manny is definitely a cute show, and one that isn't too annoying for parents to watch along with their kids. (Although the parallels to Bob the Builder are obvious). My kids - 6, 4 and 2 - love it. Manny and the tools each have their own personalities and work together to solve problems and help their neighbors. And the projects are ones that kids can relate to - fixing a slat on a baby crib, fixing a latch on a bunny cage. The songs (which are repeated in every episode) are catchy and my older kids have been singing them repeatedly. One issue I have with with Manny is that, since he only has a limited number of tools, he sometimes uses them incorrectly - such as using pliers instead of a wrench to remove a bolt or using a flat blade screwdriver instead of a wood chisel to make a channel in a piece of wood (although he did wear safety goggles which was good). I've tried to explain to my kids that while it's great Manny does cool stuff and helps his neighbors, using the wrong tool for the wrong job can be dangerous. If wish Disney would give him a few extra tools or limit his jobs to the ones he can do with the tools he has. That said, it still has many good points and kids will love this show.

If you want your kids to learn basic spanish, don't show them Dora, show them this. I used to watch both Handy Manny and Dora when i was little and i watched a lot more Dora but i learned more from Handy Manny in less than 10 episodes. The characters in this are fascinating , i didn't dislike one character and most of all its a great educational show that teaches kids Basic Spanish, or basically what Dora wanted to be

I say the show is okay, but the popularity had dropped since 2006. To me this show is not that bad, but It could of been better...

My Grandson is very picky on what he will watch on TV, it often takes awhile for him to warm to a show. This time he really liked it and it won't get him really worked up like some shows can, and more importantly it doesn't get on my nerves early in the morning like some shows. It's cheerful and easy going, a bit like the Thomas the Tank Engine. You can stand it being on in the background without gritting your teeth like Barney and stuff. I did notice the voice of "RED" from the 70's show in one episode, I thought it seemed funny to hear his voice in a children's show. Kudos to Wilmar- and creators also of course
