Gus Plus Us

I turned this on to entertain my infant while I did the dishes and found my four and six year old watching it right along with her. It is now requested regularly by my older kids. Cute little shows with fun storylines and good songs. Everyone loves Gus and Carrot. Lucy is also great and her voice is really nice. I have caught myself singing along to the opening song more often than I care to admit. I'm not exactly sure where the low stars come from. I really like that it is wholesome. I don't need to worry about some random adult concept being unnecessarily introduced. I can get some stuff done without worry and, as any busy mom would know, that is priceless!

I wasn't sure how much I'd like this show, but it's fun to watch with my kids, and my kids actually request watching it! It's similar to the Fred Penner show, beautiful music, good lessons! It brings back the nostalgia of the kids shows from my childhood... fun, but with little life lessons. Moral lessons like learning how to take accountability for your actions (good or bad), the importance of apologizing, and loving people for who they are inside. There are also episodes with little lessons like learning how to make the most of a rainy day, problem solving, or cleaning up.

My 3 year old will sit and watch the shows on repeat, though my older kids like watching it too. They love the songs and want to listen to the soundtrack in the car! The music is great, so I'm happy to let them listen to it while we drive.

I have four kids, ages one, three, five, and seven. They all love it. Even my one year old asks for Gus by name. My two youngest dance to the opening song, and my two oldest sing along. At the end of each episode, there is a custom song recapping the the lesson the kids should have learned. Classic sesame Street was my one year old's favorite show, now he wants "guss". For a dad with four younger children, it is becoming rare to find children shows that don't push an agenda on young minds. I never need to pre screen any of these episodes, Gus Plus Us is always appropriate for my kids.

I wish I could give it more than 10 stars.

Most shows today try and copy others. This show is a fresh new original inspired by old and new. Our family loves the music and the characters that bring so much light. We find ourselves quoting and singing along after watching each episode. It gets stuck in your head! We hope they continue more seasons as our family is looks forward to each new episode. Karrot is our favorite, she is clever and speaks gibberish. The kids can't get enough of her. Lucy is played by a homeschool mom who creates the show with her husband and kids. The quality of this show is out of this world! I recommend it to every family.

Finally a kids show the whole family can enjoy! We have loved every episode and have the songs on repeat throughout the week. The episodes always have the cutest story & my kids are always inspired by them. There's no hidden agenda (like most kids shows have these days). The Christmas episode in the first season is probably one of the (if not THE) best episodes I've ever seen in a kids show. We plan to make that a tradition to watch every year! Also, the Happy Birthday episode around our birthdays because it's so good! Thank you to the Gus Plus Us team for making a children's show that's fun, inspiring and heartwarming to watch.
