Jay Jay le petit avion

This sensitively written, charming show is the perfect antidote to all of the blaringly loud, excessively high-energy, overstimulating media that assaults kids on a daily basis. What a nice opportunity for pre-school age children to be able to sit quietly and enjoy absorbing stories with age-appropriate messages, appealing characters and memorable songs. Parents will appreciate the thoughtful way that children's issues are addressed and the learning tidbits offered by "Brenda Blue." Their young children will be thoroughly entertained by characters that are easy for them to identify with. And what little kid wouldn't be excited about flying? Don't judge this show by adult sensibilities. If you don't have young children of your own, just take a minute to remember what it was like to be a small child and I think you'll see that this show is a winner.

This program is very educational and perfect for children.

The series contains upbeat songs and fun characters. The characters are easily likable and entertaining.

The education contained in this program is essential. The main topic is science. There is information about the planet's atmosphere and how important taking care of our planet is. Also, included is plant life and the ocean.

This program teaches morals and friendship through simple short stories.

Persons older than 5 years old may not be interested in this series but for the younger children it is perfect.

I am really pleased that PBS picked up this show to air.

It tries its best to compete with the juggernaut Thomas the Tank Engine.

I can't hate a show for trying. It just either came out at the wrong time. By the time it came out I was in school therefore less TV. Or it just didn't have the power like Thomas the Tank Engine to attract viewers.

The CGI for its time was great. The live people acting kind of below corny.

Verdict: Planes, trains and automobiles.

When seeing any children's show for the first time, I am usually either horrified, confused or disgusted. But after a few times of seeing the show (I have a 3-year-old) the horror and disgust will wear off, and it'll even make a margin of sense to me. Sometimes a show will actually grow on me. With Jay Jay--NOT THE CASE. This show doesn't even have a subtle charm beneath the annoying icky voices of the characters and artificial happiness. It is cheesy beyond cheesy, and the faces are creepy. And that helicopter (herkey) must roll every R, and it is like nails scraping a chalk board. I don't know why kids like this show, but it's not one of those that can be easily tolerated by the adult in the child's life who gets stuck watching it right along with him. If I had to choose one word to describe this show, it would be GROSS.

I realized that, yeah this was to teach children valuable lessons for friendship, 3 stars for that. It's also good for giving children and adults nightmares though. Let that uncanny Valley face stare into their soul.
