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!

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 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.

I watched the whole series when I was twelve/thirteen years old, and I loved it! Two years later, I decided to watch it again, and it's just as good as ever! I love how goofy and fun it is, but even me, as a teenager, have learned new things, like "M. C," "tangent," and "redundant." The best part is that it has great representation with no political lean (unlike "The Proud Family.") The animation is pretty basic, but suits the style of the show. The narrator is great. He is like the narrator from "The Powerpuff Girls," who can talk to the characters. Wordgirl is such a sweet superhero and the show is fun, educational, and can be enjoyed by all ages. One of PBS Kids best shows.

This is probably one of the cleverest children's shows that I have ever watched (so far). All the characters are interesting, and the jokes always land. The plots are silly, but they work. My only complaint is the thing where they have to teach children words, but even that is funny most of the time. This show takes superhero tropes and just runs with them in the funniest ways possible. Though the same group of villains show up time and time again, they always manage to be funny and original.

I would highly recommend watching this show.
