    Preschool show done right. hide show

    Fun Original. Great Animation. The Show should not have been cancelled its fun and exciting better shows along with Blues Clues, Little Bill aand other great kids shows nick could not keep. The show demonstrates social skills and exciting animation keeps the show going adventureous. Better than Max and Ruby a show that has a negitive impact but keeps getting renewed. At least they got rid of lazytown. The Characters are fun. The Episodes are fun some with adventures. Nick should have kept this show in stead of getting rid of everything in 2004. So at least the nick jr channel shows this daily.

    Great toddler show. hide show

    I saw this show when I was younger and I thought it was a great show. So anyways, this is a show about an octopus named Oswald and his dog named Weenie. Oswald is basically a nice octopus that helps out any of his friends. He has 2 best friends that is a penguin named Henry and a flower named Daisy. There was an episode that Oswald was trying to help his friend Henry because he was sick. So Oswald was nice enough to get him some stuff that he needs like his newspaper. Overall this show is great for toddlers and they learn great things in life.

    9.9 Superb

    Our family is desperate for Oswald to return. Please bring back the soothing yet entertaining show that my girls have embraced. hide show

    Please Please bring Oswald back. My daughter, who is now 4.5 yrs old just received an oswald book and hasn't seen the cartoon for at least a year or more...She remembers everyone on that show and is begging me to spend some time with Oswald. We love the classical music and the colors and the stories. A show like this is soooo desperately needed in a mix of shows that are loud and fast moving and over stimulating!!! This is a show that I would feel very comfortable letting my 2 year old gaze upon as my 4.5 year old watches it. You can't say that about many shows these days. Please reconsider.
    Sincere Thanks.

    6.2 Fair

    One of the better toddler cartoons to premiere on Nick jr. hide show

    My 39th review after Catdog.

    To my online friends, This cartoon wasn't Half Bad. It was Mildly Interesting to watch even if it's on Nick jr. They have good scenes in it and they were Passable. It's about some Blue Octopus named Oswald and his Actual Pet hot dog, Weenie ha! ha! This cartoon is Undeniably Funny. Hee! Hee! This should be one of the funniest *beep* on Nick jr. A werid city named Big city, as lots of Actual Things around. I give this cartoon a C. Here's the results:

    Voice-acting: B+ 7.5/10.0 Henry's English voice is ratherway nice, deep and Mature. Animation: C 6.0/10.0 Nice clean and colorful for such a 2-D paper fold and cut out show.

    Graphics: C+ 6.5/10.0 Average. There's some framerate Glitches in it.

    Sound: A-- 8.0/10.0 Jazzy, Big Band and Marching Band music makes it fair.

    Dialouge: B 7.0/10.0 Good enough. Even for a Nick jr show.

    Educational Value: D-- 4.0/10.0 Not really thatt Educational. Just mildly Entertaining for Young children, now and then.

    Lasting Appeal: C++ 6.8/10.0 I really have nothing to say.

    Overall: C 6.2/10.0 This cartoon isn't half bad. it was mildly Ok. I'm still glad that they show it on Noggin, weekdays @ 8:00am. Watch it if you like it! :)

    10 Perfect

    Cartoon about simple things. Episodes may be about getting ice cream or the park. For toddlers. Its quirky. The characters have distinct personalities. The penquin is choleric. The flower is sanquine. Oswald is flagmatic. The mommy butterfly is ideal. hide show

    AWSOME!!!! My 18 month old loves it & my 3 yr old niece too. My husband and I love the penguin. He is hysterical. It's soo typical that they (Hollywood) quit this show, becuase its good. Its not flashy, but its always good. When Nickolodeon cancelled it, parents brought it back by petitions on the internet. There was an outcry of people to bring it back. I hope they will do more. Clean fun.
