Franklin

I would watch this how all the time. It was funny, and entertaining, and just a great show. The characters were great and the story-lines were suberb. Then all of the sudden, they started introducing new characters like crazy, and Bear started wearing a blue vest that made him look gay. That's when I stopped watching. If you want to watch Franklin, make sure it's the original episodes.

The 2d version was the best and main attraction to treehouse next to berenstain bears, blues clues and calliou.

The reboot 3d version was, well it sucked. The characters are to different and jolly that it's sick to my stomach.

Even as an adult I love this show. It brings me back to the simplicity of childhood.

It is educational, with charismatic characters and a nice atmosphere; recommended for young children.

One of the more simpering and sanctimonious cartoons for very small children. The dark shadow of the moral can be spotted a mile away and taints these bland narratives with blander characters.

I don't know if your child will respond to the adventures of Franklin at his school or his friends, but the fact that they're animals doesn't affect anything and there are so much more charming stuff for this target demographic that manage to convey lessons in a more character driven spontaneous way.
