Blippi

I always wondered if Pee-Wee Herman had a son, now I know.

I can't fathom anyone giving Blippi a bad review, I really can't. My two year old absolutely loves him and has learned so much from him! He's very approachable and fun for children. I have also suggested him to people on my flights while inflight and he has calmed those children right down and given their parents some time to relax. His videos are well done, he teaches in such creative and insightful ways all while keeping children entertained and happy. All my son wants to watch is Blippi ("Blippi On" is common from my son) and I can bet he's all your young children will want to watch as well. I would Highly recommend Blippi!

Blippi is the kind of person you'd make sure your kids are never alone around, this creepy man child with a notorious past (just google it) is every parents' nightmare.

Also his shows are about as educational as watching paint dry. What do kids learn from watching him make random noises when he sees a object? Or do a dance that looks like someone plugged him into an electricity socket? Nothing. Awful show.

I love that this show has a lot of educational factors, such as Blippi going to museums or science centers. But the entire show is nothing but free advertisement fed to children. Every episode is basically Blippi persuading children that they should go to these places. Also, it is infuriating that he has to spell his name every five minutes. My daughter is only 2 years old and walks around the house spelling his name all day when she can't even spell her own name. And when she calls out letters, I get happy because I think she's trying to say the word, but it always ends with her saying "Blippi". So now she has associated chaining any letters together as saying his name. It's kind of creepy because him spelling/writing his name seems like a way of brainwashing children to only remember HIM and nothing he teaches. Why not teach children to spell/write other words? I try to help my daughter spell other things now because of this.

I do not doubt that general education is taught in this show, but it seems to be catered more toward little boys. Also, there was an episode where Blippi goes to a demolition derby and destroys a car. He spray paints the car and beats on it. There is even an episode where he is supposed to be washing a truck but instead, he splashes the vehicle with ketchup and mustard. Like, what is my daughter supposed to learn from that? Vandalism?

I will say that I find the show an excellent to share practical (and real world experience) to things that are intellectually stimulating for a toddler, in a manner to which a toddler can understand. My son loves the character's energy, colours, and behaviour. I also believe it's a good show to help toddlers keep their childhood innocence - as for the 7/10, I've always been the more serious type.

As for the actor, well, as time moves forward, we all age, and mature - some want to leave good behind, hoping the next generation will learn beneficial, and kind, things.

As for all the parents out there, we all know how business works; show, and sell products, especially with good marketing. I also know that this series is not big budget, so it's bound to have more hiccups. I also consider this show one of the cleanest shows I have ever seen; it's much better than most media out there. That said, I know it allows my inner, child-like playfulness to come out, allowing me to bond with my child in an additional way.
