Raggs is a series aimed at preschoolers starring five dogs - energetic Raggs, surfer dude Pido, super sporty Trilby, organised Razzles and wheelchair-bound inventor B. Max (alongside their cat Dumpster, a sarcastic feline who loves stinky fish and often complains about living with the dogs) - who live in a clubhouse where they discover new things and learn life lessons. But these canines are also part of the Raggs Kids Club Band, where they perform twice per episode. The series uses a mix of live-action, CGI and Dumpster interviewing real kids. The dogs themselves are mainly portrayed using advanced animatronic costumes. Each episode focuses on a different topic, such as 'Rain', 'Hot', 'Colors' or 'Food'. As well as the main segments, there are also music videos, live performances, interviews with kids and animated shorts, which all again focus on these topics. The show itself, while it doesn't have the best writing and voice acting (they try and mention the topic of the episode as much as possible throughout the script, which can get annoying quickly), is still pretty enjoyable with likeable characters and catchy music that both kids and their parents can appreciate. Both Australian and American versions of the series exist, and while they're the same for the most part, some things have changed (mainly the dogs' speaking voices and the Dumpster interview segments). I'm not exactly sure which version came first, since production took place in both countries. Despite production of the show ending in 2009, the series still lives on thanks to the Raggs TV YouTube channel, which features full episodes and brand new animated nursery rhyme videos (most of the voice actors even return for these!) Although the channel has gone downhill (most of the newest videos are reuploads for a start), it's still one of the best ways to watch the series (though only the first few episodes are on there for the US dub; the Australian YouTube channel has more episodes but some of them have been edited). Overall, I'd say Raggs is a pretty decent show for kids. Warning for parents though, the songs will probably never leave your head!

My 9 month old son loves this show and has since he was about 3 months old. He doesn't take his eyes off the TV during the (commercial free!) show. I have learnt to enjoy the show also. I can sing the main theme songs and enjoy many of the new songs added. The skits are cute and educational and teach children (and perhaps adults too)some moral and ethical lessons.

The children who answer questions are quite gorgeous and often hilarious.

It buys me half an hour every day to waste on stuff like this :) Well, I'm off to 'Wag and Wiggle'!

Well, where can I start? I just love this show very much. It was great for its time and it still is just as good today. Definitely ticks the boxes on my list. I even know all the lyrics to the Wag & Wiggle.

This Show Wins My Heart These Reasons

1. The Main Characters (Mostly Raggs) Have Such Cute Designs And They Are Likeable.

2. The Theme Song Is Amazing!

3. It Teaches Me Interesting Morals Just Like Thomas And Friends!

4. The Songs Are Cool! With "Thinking Anticipation" And "R-A-G-G-S" Being My Favourite Songs!

5. The CGI On The Raggs Characters Are As Cute As The Mascot Costumes 6. It Does Have Several Cute Moments In Here 7. There Is A Fair Share A Good Episodes Here And There.

8. They Feel Like RL Imagination Friends To Me, And It Touches My Heart In The Best Way!

Thoughts On It: Excellent.

From the land down under; we have been presented with none other than Raggs. It's about some dogs that form a band... (aka The Raggs Band). How is this band you may ask? Well they suffer from the same thing that most of 21st century pop suffers from; repetitiveness, faking their performances, and it encourages mediocrity to the children witnessing the events. . These raggs are skipping the dlrty hamper and going straight in the trash.
