I've been seeing super hero shows since I was really young. But if there's a show that involves super heroes and is really comical, it's PJ Masks. While there's technology and powers, the heroes and even the villains would sometimes get silly. This is a decent yet funny show for all ages.

Somehow, these kids turn into superheroes at night to fight their classmates who turn into supervillains at night. How do they become these heroes/villains? I don't know. I dont think it's ever been explained. Basically, the same thing happens every episode so it's pretty boring. Still, if this serves as a precursor to getting my kid into real superhero stuff, I guess I can tolerate it. I have to ask, though, where are these kids' parents?!

My 3-year-old son absolutely loves this show. As a music educator, I see so many levels of excellence: music (writing, musicality), awareness of self and others, teamwork, apologizing, cool costumes, no violence, thinking through a challenge to find a solution, etc. I'm so happy there are shows like this that my son can watch on his own and I don't have to give commentary because I don't like something that's happening on the show. We quote the show often, and my son's favorite character is the Gecko. He even says his little sister is Owlette. Ha! I'm looking forward to all the merchandise to come out. We will certainly be ready to purchase! I'm also looking forward to new episodes since we watch over and over and over... :)

Watching cheap British animation, probably made somewhere in Asia, in the 1990s and early 2000s was somehow justified: any excuse to make low cost entertainment to keep the children enough in front of the screen as to watch the next batch of adverts. But 2015 and the same terrible animation plus an even lower quality script? No, thank you.

I think this show is solid, but very repetitive. Definitely better than Teen Titans GO!, but I wish it could be up to the standards of PBS Kids.
