WordGirl

This is one of the few cartoons today that children can wash without being beat over the head by a socio-political message. Sure there are morals to each story, but they're not overt. The only obvious message in this show is the meanings of words and that words do have distinct meanings - something that today's children sorely need to hear!

I'm a forty-something year old guy and I love this show. I don't even kids! But if I did, THIS would be one I would have no problem sitting them down in front of unsupervised and be able to rest assured that they wouldn't be indoctrinated into any immoral teachings.

Of course, as with any children's programming, you should watch this first by yourself to ensure that it's appropriate for YOUR child, but I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

Alright, this is the single best PBS show ever made in my eyes. It stars beckie, aka wordgirl, who is a young girl living life also as a superhero. Obviously this has to stay a secret because, duh, superhero. And while children superhero shows are common, this one teaches children the meanings of some words. This is great and all, but what is the best is it doesn't beat down and go all in-your-face at children like "you're stupid and young!!" And most of all? There's genuinely humor. This show's very funny almost always, I find myself always chuckling or bursting out laughing at almost every joke. Please watch this.

I love any children's show that has a good point but doesn't get preachy. WordGirl is really funny on so many levels, not only teaching vocabulary but also satire, hyperbole, and irony. The silliness is on par with the best old school VeggieTales. The supervillains are hysterical, with equally great villain names, like "Chuck the Evil Sandwich Making Guy" and "Lady Redundant Woman". My son has learned several good vocabulary lessons above his grade level just by watching this treat, and I love watching it with him just because it's so funny. If the "grown-ups" that run Hollywood paid attention to PBS Kids, a lot of primetime comedy shows would be much more intelligent and entertaining

This show is a massive W. I feel like there needs to be more shows like this on PBS Kids because it teaches kids new words in such a creative way, while providing a plot line that is compelling and keeps the viewer on the edge of their feet. The show also did it's best to teach kids new words that aren't basic like "arc," or "computer." They did their best to teach kids words like "allure," or "dazzling," and I appreciate that. I also appreciated that the narrator was genuinely funny, while also adding to the story. He didn't take away from it, like most cartoon/book narrators. While teaching kids words and keeping them entertained, they also provided lots of representation that is needed in a kids show. Kudos to the creators for creating such a good and educational show.

This is a nice show that helps kids to learn the meanings of words, I didn't know about it until a few months ago and I've loved it ever since. Unfortunately, I like in the UK so we don't get PBS Kids here, so I watched it on YouTube and Amazon Prime. It was a really good show. My favourite characters are Invisi-Bill, Tobey and Two-Brains. I would recommend this to watch.
