Postcards from Buster

I get it. It was supposed to be a geography and culture show but adding cartoons to real life didn't make me care about this show. The guests were obvious actors or at least told what to say and do to make it entertaining.

Overall, it was a dud of a show and I never cared for it all. This is coming from a person that watched Arthur as a child during its golden age.

Last Words: Before he became a sad sad bunny.

I can't get enough of the show & I'm almost 18 yrs. old, so you can't say it's just for kids. I'm totally obsessed with Carlos & Mora. They are so awesome!! I know it's kind of odd, but, it makes me happy! The only thing I have to complain about is that there's not enough of Carlos & Mora in the show (well, not enough for me anyway. Although, maybe there will never be enough for me). They are so cool & so cute together, such a cute couple! I love how he'll walk with his arm around her & all that kind of stuff! My 11 yr.old sister laughed at me for liking this show, but now it's growing on her, too. It has a lot of educational stuff to it, but the main reason I watch it is for Carlos & Mora. Their songs are also very catchy. I could go on & on about Carlos & Mora all day... I even taped some of the songs & got Postcards From Buster DVDs.

Love it, love it, love it. Ahem, or rather I love a certain person, whom wears a *very* fashionable outfit of red and black.... (no comment). It is very informative, I love the songs, and everything Pbs does, anything Marc Brown does, anything with Elyzabeth Diaga or (especially) Norman Groulx and Marcel Jeanin in it, is perfectly genius. I don't know what else to say, this humorous, slightly...gay, creative show shows Americans at their best (which is an honorable feat, since America doesn't seem to have a best lately)and inspires children of all ages-take me I'm 20- to do their best. The website is wittily handled, and is very helpful for parents, and fun for children. If you ask any one of my friends, you'll know I'm extremely obsessed, and won't shut up about... ahem. If the red/black thing didn't give you a hint, here's another: Married to a blue shirt/black mini that barely covers her.....

Anyways, PFB is a funny, cute, *hot*, show that should help kids with geography, culture, and corny jokes. Warning!: If your child starts walking around singing, thank Carlos (ahem) and Mora. However, do not be alarmed, because your children WILL pass the history sol's and will know their way around New York.

This is simply a great show. Buster travels around the USA and the world, meeting people of many walks of life. Every episode offers unique perspectives and experiences. Truly diverse and enriching travels are shown, for example: a Pow Wow in Wyoming, crab fishing in Louisiana, maple sugaring in Vermont, martial arts in Seattle, county fair in Indiana, and food and music, well, everywhere. Very enjoyable,to kids and adults, and very educational as well. I really like how broad and non-judgemental the show is. I also like how the show shows real people, I think helping to erase any bad stereotypes by showing how interesting everyone everywhere can be. Keep travelling, Buster!

I do not know how well this show goes over with its intended audience, but as an adult I am impressed by how it is put together. The premise of the show is of an animated rabbit traveling around the world with his father getting to know children and their families and taking videos. I do not know how much of the show is scripted, but it comes across as being a spontaneous interaction of the people being filmed with Buster and with one another. Sort of like a cross between a travelogue and reality TV for kids, with everyone being nice to one another.

One small thing that I find disconcerting is that while Buster is more or less given the face of a rabbit, the rest of his family look like humans with rabbit ears appended.
