Agent Special OSO

I might get a lot of hate for some of the stuff I say about this show, people will complain and say that it's for kids, I don't care. This show, is so bad, so terrible, so horrendous, that it is absolutely hilarious, I love this show.

Some people may have a problem with it because it's the exact same episode being repeated. That doesn't bother me, after all I like Scooby Doo, and I love phineas and ferb.

No, my problem is the fact that these kids, who seem to not know how to do stuff that they should, get help from Oso, and then they end up doing most of the work. And somehow this leads to Oso completing his assingment that he messed up ealier.

Bottom line, the show sucks. Maybe if your under 2 years old you may like it, but if your over two, then maybe you can be like me and my brother and sister and just love the show to mock it.

Also, why do they allow Oso to drive a space shuttle when he can't even brush his teeth?

Say what you will about the simplicity of the tasks being shown, but there is an undeniable charm to this goofy relic of Playhouse Disney past. I honestly really like Oso, he is a very endearing protagonist. I like how he learns alongside the kids and the audience, making him relatable and a nice change of pace from some other kiddie show leads.

The animation has its ups and downs, early on it was very wonky, but I like the colours and some of the character designs.

Maybe older audiences don't get a lot out of this show, but kids certainly will. If you've got some under-fives around the house, try it out.

If you're looking for something that is brightly colored, has catchy earworm songs, and will entertain your toddler while you write TV show reviews, then Special Agent Oso is for you. We stumbled across this show a few weeks ago, right before Disney Playhouse became Disney Jr. (to compete directly with Nick Jr.? nice try!) I described it to my husband as Winnie the Pooh meets James Bond and to expect anything beyond that is asking too much. The animation style is definitely different, but what's wrong with that? Once you get used to certain aspects, most adults should find wry humor in the repetitive twists on 007 movie titles as well as appreciate the simplicity with which a child's dilemma (tying one's shoes the first few times IS a big deal!) is broken down into steps to achieve success. From a personal aspect, my 3 year old mimics the entire opening sequence, pantomiming the movements and attempting to sing along, which of course, to us, her parents, is hysterical. Older children may get quickly bored by it and adults should in no way attempt to see this as any thing more than harmless and mildly endearing fluff by Disney. Plus it's kind of funny to listen to Samwise Gamgee's voice coming out of Oso's (Spanish for 'bear', btw!) mouth! ; )

What is wrong with you guys?! I loved this show when I was a little kid. And I still love it today. What is your problem?!

I agree with the comment about every episode being the same. My 4-year-old-son watches it. I was laughing when you said Oso was always surprised to hear from Mr Dos at the end of the "assignment", even though it happens every time. I always think the same thing! But kids love repetition, so it works. Sometimes you don't have to try too hard to make a good show for kids. I've seen much more ridiculous kids shows than this. Have you ever seen the show "Bo on the Go"? Every episode in that show is also the same, and they repeat the same catchphrases each episode too. But my son loves it! As you say, these shows are not aimed at adults! And I thought it was cool to find out Sean Astin was doing the voice! I'm a big fan, and I didn't realise it was him! And I have to admit I like all the James Bond movie references, although how many times have they had an episode/code name based on Casino Royale?
