The Fresh Beat Band

I have a 2 year old son who absolutely loves this show...he watches it every weekday at noon, even though many episodes are reruns. My wife and I have learn to appreciate the show, if not like the show, because our son Landon who had down syndrome has learned so much from this show. He has learn to pay attention to the show... he dances with the characters and sings (babbles) along with them...we dvr several episodes and when he is restless and fussy we turn on the show and he instantly comes to life and laughs and just enjoy himself watching the Fresh Beat Kids (yes they are not kids, but who cares, as long as kids enjoy and relate to them, remember all the adults on those Seseme Street programs)...so in closing, I am grateful for this program and how it has give my family something we all can share with Landon.

This show has my attention more than my 3 year old's. I love that this show is introducing hip hop music and dancing to kids. Personally, I get a little tired of the same old music shown on other kids music shows.

The FreshBeats are a diverse music and dancing band. The band members are talented and upbeat. The problems the band members face all come with a smile and a "can-do" attitude. Marina, KiKi, Twist and Shout are a talented group with a wholesomeness unmatched. They are nice to each other and to others around town.

"The Fresh Beat Band" is a positive experience for everyone.

My husband and I watch this show with our 3-year old son, and all enjoy it! It's very up-beat and fun, and teaches optimism and persistence as core values. Wonderful in every way.

Can't help but analyze the performers. Twist is really amazing -- every move he makes is, I think, planned for maximum effect. Marina is simply lovely to watch. Kiki overacts but has a great voice, and Shout seems to me to be the "talent" of the show - the one that binds them together, best voice, knows how to move, etc. Twist routinely steals the show, however -- simply fantastic in his role.

I do wonder sometimes -- is all of the singing on the show performed by the 4 Beats? The songs are very catchy and usually deliver a great message. Great show:)

I love the Fresh Beats. I watch them everyday with my 3 yr old step son and my 7 month old daughter. It's a great break from Spongebob and Dora and Diego which all get on my nerves from time to time but we watch them all everyday. The Fresh Beats have very catchy lyrics and they're just so fun to watch. I find myself humming them words to most of the songs they have especially It's A Great Day. My step son is always getting up and dancing when they sing and he absolutely loves music. The cast is so upbeat and teaches him to be nice to others. It's a great show and we'll watch it everyday and i hope the Fresh Beats don't get canceled. It's so sad how some adults can put down a kids show. I'm 23 and it's one of my favorite shows on TV.

This is a great new show! The songs are catchy and my son and I love to sing along when it's on. There seem to only be a few episodes that air over and over, so it's easy to remember all of the words!! I hope that they decide to make some new episodes. My son is 5, so he doesn't mind watching them over and over, but as a parent, I get bored of hearing them after a while.

While I wish it was more educational, it is just one of those fun shows that is worth watching just for the songs and dances. I found it a little strange that they chose people of such an age to portray the 4 characters, but they have definitely grown on me. The cast is super talented and they all have amazing voices, especially Marina. The moral of the stories may be a little hard for a preschooler to grasp, but the cast has a way of making us understand that it's all about friendship and teamwork.

I'm also glad to see that they chose to dress the cast - particularly the girls,- modestly. There are so many shows these days that dress young girls like adults, and I find it very inappropriate that young characters are so often over-sexualized.

Overall, I think this is a great show, and I hope that they decide to make more episodes. Also, I'm hoping to find a CD with all of the great songs so that my son and I can enjoy them anytime. If anyone knows where to find them, please post a comment here. We really love the "Freeze Dance" song and "Friends Give Friends a Hand". They are fun to sing and easy for a preschooler to remember the lyrics.

The Fresh Beat Band rocks!!!
