The Upside Down Show

I love this show! It's a FUN learning show! My daughter is 5, and I hated her watching shows like Billy and Mandy. A cartoon about a grim reaper is just wrong - no matter how old you are! Anyway, I wanted to find shows that would be fun and educational. Especially ones that would get her imagination going. The Upside Down show is fantastic! They ask you to push a button on your "remote" and funny things happen. They might turn horizontal, or pause.. maybe speed up or turn "upside down". I find myself pushing the buttons along with my little girl! (there's a printable "remote" on the upside show section of noggin.com. the kids can color it themselves).

These guys are great. They don't talk to the kids like they're babies, and they're FUN while they teach. For example, waiting in line at the ice cream truck. The guys try to push their way forward, steal ice cream, climb in the truck.. but eventually they get their ice cream by waiting in line! My daughter and I love to sit together for this show. We both use our "remote" to help out Shane and David, and there's always something new to learn. It's a very creative show, that adults and kids can watch together!

Started watching this show with my 4 month old granddaughter (who basically smiles at the moving pictures) but I am hooked. Are these guys good!!! Absolutely hilarious. they are masters at pantomime and physical humor.

Their trip to the art museum was too funny! Another time they were in the sticky room and stuck to the walls. Amazing. They talk to a fly, they have strange little fluffy things called schmuzzies for friends. you never know what will happen next. The show encourages children to be silly and have fun pretending.

I now watch the show regularly and I am 56. I would love to know more about these guys. I hope this show becomes a HUGE HIT.

Oh please tell me they are making more episodes of this wonderful show! My son is only 2 1/2 and loves watching them pretend, but I love it for the jokes they add for the adults. My favorite was the episode with the orange golf ball and they were yelling at it like Adam Sandler does in Happy Gilmore. I feel really good about letting my son watch this show because I know that he's learning while we are both being entertained.

We watch this show on a channel called Noggin, which has a great selection of educational programs such as this one. Another favorite of ours on this channel is Jack's Big Music Show. Kids learn all about different kinds of music. It is similar to The Upside Down Show because it also has the characters talk to the camera while not talking down to the audience. I wish that more children's shows could be like The Upside Down Show and Jack's Big Music Show.

thank god for the Upside Down show. it is an excellent, witty, entertaining show. And it's in Australian accents. it's terrifically inventive...surreal...intelligent. The performances are engaging and imaginative and the writing very clever. the physicalisation of everything is inspiring eg the characters dangling upside down. the door knocking games....the rewinding of the fingers destroying the sand castle, the talk of yoga poses, the investigation of all the elements of a beach.... the miming knitting...my daughter responds to it all. it's refreshingly noncommercial and the miming games are easy to continue playing once the show is over. i feel a bit guilty letting my child watch too much television, but not if the shows are in the spirit of this one. i had a 6 year old watching the show with my 5 year old daughter last night and he was laughing hysterically. Congratulations to the whole creative crew. I hope you all become millionaires from it!

The first time I saw this show I thought "what are these guys on?" Then I watch again, and found myself getting up at 4 am (the time it airs in my town) just to watch it. Now I have VDR so I have all the episodes on it (sadly only 13). My daughter (2) loves it, I've noticed she talks more (says more words) including "upside down", "action fingers" among others. She also interacts with the show. Even though she has seen the episodes over and over again, it's like she seeing it again for the first time.

I am very "upset" at the fact Nickolodeon and Noggin did not ask for a second season. I hope somebody does soon, and if not, and they would only make it for DVDs that I had to purchase, I totally would! BRING IT BACK!!!!
