La Pat' Patrouille

Just saying ! Generally a fun show for the kids just some of the cast seem to go from kids to middle aged ...

My son loves this show, but in this particular episode I have one really curious question. When Mr. Porter's oven blows up and he can no longer cook his famous chili. He calls on Ryder and his pups to help. So they come up with a plan to cook the chili outside because Mr. Porter's stove is broken. You mean to tell me that in all of Adventure Bay nobody else has a damn stove? I mean where does Ryder and Mayor Goodway cook their meals for the day. Really I am seriously concerned about how everybody else cooks their meals. Also why is that rubble is cooking the chili and not Ryder or Mayor Goodway. Can anybody help me figure this out?

I have been watching this with my daughter for a while and after 3 or 4 seasons this is what i sorted out of what's going on... There is this insane rich orphan kid called Ryder that uses his family money to buy (make?) this huge modified vehicles, like super trucks and crazy planes, this in order to save a city from the evil schemes of the monopoly top hat old guy and a bunch of innocent cats, in order to fight crime this kid uses some mutant dogs (that probably were victims of Ryder paranormal experiments ) that can drive cars and planes with their minds.... People in the City are completely brainless and are always doing stupid things ending up in a complete mess that can be sorted out only by Paw Patrol.... I will give this 5 stars and check some more seasons in order to try to discover Who were Ryder missing parents and how did they got loaded with money.

I often wonder how people can say that Breaking Bad is the best TV show of all time when this one exists. The only bad part is that the dubbing to Swedish is awful.

My 4-year old has graduated from Gecko's Garage (his favourite when 2 years old), Peppa Pig (when 3) to now Paw Patrol.

It's been fun to follow this progression with him, and especially now I can see him enjoy some real adventure-storytelling: epic calamities & fantastic rescues with a well-written cast of likeable heroes. It's never too scary, but has enough jeopardy to make it the first 'exciting' thing this 4-year old has watched. He loves the problem-solving nature and it's seeping nicely into real-life, for example when he's got a conundrum when building his tracks he'll stand up excitedly and proclaim: "I have an idea!".

The stories are solid, the support cast are fun (the two Mayors add a lot of character) and the 3D CGI-graphics don't get tiresome.

I try to watch episodes with him, it's good to talk together about what's happening. But as fellow parents know it's nice to take the time-out and do something 'child-free' for a bit. I make sure he watches only full episodes (or one of the feature-length titles) so he gets the full narrative experience.

Warning: don't look for this on Youtube: there's no full episodes, just randomly-edited long compilations and unofficial troll-made content with adult themes. Amazon Prime should have full episodes, as well as other reliable sites out there, tho' I recommend having an adblocker on. DVDs are hard to find here in Europe.
