Piggly et ses amis

Anyone remember the episode where they all turn into lettuce in a dream? Gave me nightmares for days as a kid

I'm pretty sure they write this for adults, and then just remove anything that isn't appropriate for kids. Just a laugh a minute. My eight-year-old caught me watching it and was amazed to see me laughing at a kid's show. Better than the vast majority of the sitcoms that run during prime time, Jaker's is worth recording this during the day and using it to fill in the dead spots on the television lineup during the evening. Remarkable how good a kid's show can be when a few good writers put their mind to making something durable. Keeping it accessible to young viewers makes this quite a trick, and Jaker's does it.

Wiley the sheep sounds suspiciously like former Gov. William J. LePetomaine of Nevada. Career change?

I have to agree with everyone's review but have to give it another fantastic rap. I am not Irish nor do I have any family connections to Ireland but ever since I was a child, I am now 38, I have wanted to go to Ireland. I went there in 1990 for a brief time and I fell in love with everything about the country. This cartoon transports me back to Ireland every time I watch it. The characters are delightful, they have fun without being mean or stupid yet they are often silly, they take you back to being a child when you took pleasure in the simple beauty of life and friends and family were the most important things in your life. The accents, the characters, the story lines, everything about this show is brilliant. I love living in Australia but honestly dream of living in Ireland raising my children on a farm with my boyfriend. My boyfriend bought me a Jakers' DVD with 4 episodes on it and it would be one of the best gifts he has ever given me.

This is the best children's program I have ever seen. It teaches responsibility, imagination, manners, multiculturalism and more in a most enjoyable fashion. The animation is beautiful and the stories are pure delight for both kids and adults. This is the one show I allow my 4 year old to watch every day and I enjoy it as well. Each episode follows the same format, a modern day Grandpa Piggley tells stories to his three grandchildren about his adventures growing up in rural Ireland. The childhood tales feature his family, his school full of adorable animal friends and his ever faithful companions, Ferny and Dannan (a veritable Ron and Hermione, if you will). They have wild imaginations and good intentions and truly, each episode is pure delight. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Found this show by accident skimming the Time Warner cable guide. Almost skipped it because of the name, which made no sense to me, but I flipped past the channel and was instantly captivated by the terrific animation. My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves Jojo's Circus and The Koala Brothers, and the animation was similar (better in my opinion) and the Irish accents on Jakers are charming (especially since we're Irish). After seeing a couple of episodes now, I love the stories and so does my daughter. They are not overly dumded down like too many kids shows. The show gives good messages in one of the most intelligent and fun ways of any kid's show I've seen. As I said, I have a 2 1/2 year old so I've seen a LOT! I was also certain I recognized the voice of the one sheep, and sure enough, in looking it up on IMDb, I found it IS Mel Brooks playing the voice of a hilarious character! The characters in this little show are extremely well developed and presented. I highly recommend it to anyone! GREAT little series!
