Oswald

Wow! This is a really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational show. I said that because I watch this on Nickelodeon and Noggin with my 19-month-old nephew from time to time. It's hard to say which show on Nickelodeon and Noggin is the best. Still it's really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that the people at Nickelodeon and Noggin really know how to reach a toddler's developing mind. Now, in conclusion, if you have children, nieces, or nephews, I strongly recommend this really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational show. I guarantee you that they will enjoy it.

Maybe I shouldn't be admitting this due to my age,but I cant help but love Oswald,and be captivated for the 15 minutes its on TV each day.The big friendly blue octopus is lovable and delightful,and is voiced appropriately by the gentle natured Fred Savage whose child-like enthusiastic and cheerful tone of voice brings the character of Oswald to life.I can see why little kids adore this show,because I always have a smile on my face when I'm watching it because its just so bright,happy and playful,and is a good quality show for the kiddies.Characters such as Oswald's best friends Weenie the Hot Dog,and Henry the Octopus are very cute and entertaining contributions to the show.I cant help but be in love with the show,and I don't care if I'm too old for it.I love the warm fuzzy feeling I get inside after watching it.Fun,cheerful and uplifting.

It's very rare that I get the kind of feeling that I get from Oswald. Mostly this feeling comes from shows I remember fondly from being a child; that warm spot that grows deep down as I watch. But here I am, too old to be a kid anymore, and I have always gotten the exact same feeling from Oswald. There are so many wonderful people working to create this show, and some great actors lend their voices to the characters. I suppose I should mention that I am the biggest David L. Lander fan in the world (you think I'm exaggerating, don't you?), and I get a terrificly peaceful feeling listening to Henry...and Henry seems to be one of the more popular characters on the show (who can't identify with him?), which makes me very happy. Thank you and good blessings to Dan Yaccarino, to the talented staff and musicians behind the show, and especially to David, Fred Savage, and the rest of the talented Oswald cast. This show makes me very happy, indeed!

While at first glance one might say "the writers of this show must be on some serious drugs!", upon watching it you will see that it is a charming, imaginative, and very creative show. My 3 1/2 year old daughter just loves it. She could watch it for hours. I must admit, there is something mesmerizing about it. Oswald is a hit! (I'm just not sure quite why)

Browsing the other users' comments, it's nice to see I'm not the only adult who enjoys Oswald.

Personally, I find the arrangement of themes, melodies, voices, colours and shapes intensely soothing. I'm convinced there's something scientific, almost mathematical, in the way the elements come together to balance out my alpha waves, or chi, or biorhythms, or... uh, some such thing.

Well, it's clear that I'm not quite ready to write a thesis on the subject, so here it is in a nutshell: Oswald is an iron fist to black moods, in a friendly blue octopus-shaped glove. Watch an episode by yourself, or with your preschoolers (borrow some, if you must): I defy you not to have a smile on your face when it's over.
