Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat

There's only so many ways you can tell the same old moral.

"Don't kill your parents", "Be yourself" &" Sharing" have all become standards cliches in kids show. It's gone up to the point where kids are becoming smarter and can predict the outcome of the show before it even ends.

Likewise, I find Sagwa a bit refreshing.It helps introduce younger children to other cultures and traditions - gives them a view of the world outside the box. It also helps talk about different topics, like our relationship with nature and about showing our feelings. Not new topics, but the ones not generally discussed.

The only thing I hate about this show is that the characters always laugh at the end of an episode. Apparently something ironic mimics the lessons learned and the all laugh... laugh.. laugh... I also think that this show

will never be as popular as Arthur as Amy Tan hasn't been making enough books as Marc Brown, nor does Sagwa include a greater diversity of characters than Arthur does.

In short, I find this show refreshing. It's definetly a good start.

The after school line up was Art attack, Arthur and Sagwa (sometimes Pingo). Those were fun times in front of the TV.

I remember falling asleep to Arthur after a long day of school and wake up to Sagwa playing.

Sagwa was a nice wholesome show. The Animation at the time were some best. Voice work was great too. The Theme song is iconic too.

A very nice series for children, it teaches good life lessons and the characters are quite charismatic, a pity that it has been canceled, because I feel that it could have given us much more, even so, very nice series. My rating is a 10.

So i remember being obsessed with this show years ago, in fact, so obsessed i have made a series of powerpoints praising her by portraying her as the dictator and leader of her own powerful nation named after herself. But that's not what i'm here for. Anyways, This show became the divine part of me, I don't remember most of the show now but i'm pretty much getting back into it, I don't know why this show doesn't come on TV anymore but oh my god, that cat was pretty much my idol, This was until i shook it off years later (and i'm glad) because of life problems. I think Sagwa could've gotten more episodes if it weren't for those who cancelled it. In all reality, this show was a core divine part of me, 10/10 still good up to this day.. Oh, and Don't Forget Your Umbrella.

i appreciate that sesame workshop is trying to show diverse cultures... but i just wish that more of the cast was actually chinese, or at least asian. i just think that it's strange that the characters are chinese, but the voices aren't. sometimes the characters use chinese phrases, and i feel like some of the voice actors don't really have mastery over the chinese language; so they don't have a realistic accent.

overall it's good show, and it's really fun for the kids. i know sesame workshop is doing the best it can to provide quality shows.
