The Upside Down Show

Oh please tell me they are making more episodes of this wonderful show! My son is only 2 1/2 and loves watching them pretend, but I love it for the jokes they add for the adults. My favorite was the episode with the orange golf ball and they were yelling at it like Adam Sandler does in Happy Gilmore. I feel really good about letting my son watch this show because I know that he's learning while we are both being entertained.

We watch this show on a channel called Noggin, which has a great selection of educational programs such as this one. Another favorite of ours on this channel is Jack's Big Music Show. Kids learn all about different kinds of music. It is similar to The Upside Down Show because it also has the characters talk to the camera while not talking down to the audience. I wish that more children's shows could be like The Upside Down Show and Jack's Big Music Show.

My four year old daughter absolutely loves this show. Her forty something mother also loves this show. With its interactive remote control and the total silliness of the show, well it's just magic. I've seen the Umbilical Brothers live and their use of mime and film is very clever and very funny, so I was intrigued when I saw that were starring in a show for preschoolers. The great thing about it is that it doesn't talk down to kids and the hummer is intelligent as well as being completely off the wall at times. My daughter especially loves David and Shane and the schmuzzies. I think the beauty of the show is that you don't know what is going to happen next. Despite it being primarily targeted for preschoolers, there is lots of subversive hummer so that parents watching will enjoy it as well. Absolutely recommended.

I absolutely love this show. Thanks again Noggin for wonderful, refreshingly creative and hip programming. This is television that I don't mind watching over and over with my daughter. Shane and David are amazingly talented as they are turned upside down, put in slow motion, put in reverse and a multitude of other interactive situations by the viewer. They make me laugh even more than they make my daughter laugh! In each episode they introduce the viewer to a world of new experiences in the most off-beat and wacky manner. It gives children the OK to act silly and goofy and to be creative in pretend play. I find it inspiring as a parent. It's the best new show out there in my opinion. This program keeps my 2-year-old's attention the entire time it's on.

thank god for the Upside Down show. it is an excellent, witty, entertaining show. And it's in Australian accents. it's terrifically inventive...surreal...intelligent. The performances are engaging and imaginative and the writing very clever. the physicalisation of everything is inspiring eg the characters dangling upside down. the door knocking games....the rewinding of the fingers destroying the sand castle, the talk of yoga poses, the investigation of all the elements of a beach.... the miming knitting...my daughter responds to it all. it's refreshingly noncommercial and the miming games are easy to continue playing once the show is over. i feel a bit guilty letting my child watch too much television, but not if the shows are in the spirit of this one. i had a 6 year old watching the show with my 5 year old daughter last night and he was laughing hysterically. Congratulations to the whole creative crew. I hope you all become millionaires from it!

I love this show! It's a FUN learning show! My daughter is 5, and I hated her watching shows like Billy and Mandy. A cartoon about a grim reaper is just wrong - no matter how old you are! Anyway, I wanted to find shows that would be fun and educational. Especially ones that would get her imagination going. The Upside Down show is fantastic! They ask you to push a button on your "remote" and funny things happen. They might turn horizontal, or pause.. maybe speed up or turn "upside down". I find myself pushing the buttons along with my little girl! (there's a printable "remote" on the upside show section of noggin.com. the kids can color it themselves).

These guys are great. They don't talk to the kids like they're babies, and they're FUN while they teach. For example, waiting in line at the ice cream truck. The guys try to push their way forward, steal ice cream, climb in the truck.. but eventually they get their ice cream by waiting in line! My daughter and I love to sit together for this show. We both use our "remote" to help out Shane and David, and there's always something new to learn. It's a very creative show, that adults and kids can watch together!
