  • My 2 year old and my 32 year old love this show

    "Perfect"
    My husband and son love this. My son watches it every night before bed. Sid always goes to bed at the end of each show, which makes a great transition. The show keeps science simple and teaches it in a child-like way. Almost ALL of the experiments (hands on learning) are things you can do at home. I think the animation leaves a little to be desired, but given the age group it's targeting and that it's only in it's 2nd season, I think it's good. We bought some Sid DVDs and even a few of the books. I even enjoy it... although, I do wish PBS would stop showing the same few shows during re-run season.moreless

    My son that will be 2 in March LOVES this show! He will not watch anything else, but Sid! It is a cartoon and is a great for children. I think it helps children learn and grow and become excited to go to school. I read some of the other reviews and I still LOVE this cartoon for my child and if this is what he wants to watch I think it is a lot better than many others out there. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! If you haven't ever let your child watch it I suggest it highly!moreless
  • This show is awesome, and anyone letting the children watch this program shall have some very educated children, My neice and nephew loves this show, when we turn it on they began to clap and scream yaay. They have learned so much from this program .moreless

    We purchased every video we could find on Sid and the gang. I read the other reviews and they are wrong about this show, This show is meant for children not for adults,so your opinion about the she does NOT matter, If you don't like it don't watch it and keep your opinions to yourself because those of us that do enjoy Sid don't want to hear it. the only issue I have is that the teach so much and they never change clothes and the talk about getting germs. So guys lets change Sid and the gangs clothes.......moreless

    "Abysmal"
    Everything from the opening theme to the end in this show is a mess.First of all,this is supposed to be educational but it really doesn't have much educational value.Plus its pretty strange,what I remember from school as a 4 year old nobody sang and danced terribly upon entry on the school,plus why are there only 4 students?That makes no sense.The voice actors are weak at their job and can't accomplish simple tasks,THE KIDS DON'T SOUND LIKE KIDS.Plus in the segment during school where they are making jokes and laughing...its just sad,the jokes aren't funny,probably not even to children.The puns don't make sense and its just petty.
    I'll take something from a recent episode and use it for an example on how this show isn't educational at all.There is an episode about how fruits and veggies decay over time and get rotten,Sid says its time to throw away a rotten banana,the grandma says when she was young she used the rotten fruits as food still and just ate them...Do you really want your kids to eat rotten fruit?A real educational show would've said to use it for compost.
    All the characters seem a bit...unbalanced.Sid dances and sings all the time about corny subjects,the students are stupid as hell,especially Gerald who always talks like he's stressed out and says,and I quote "Check out my moves!I'm a rockstar!" after flailing his arms,I wouldn't wanna come up against any of the characters of this show in a dark alley...or anywhere for that matter.moreless

    The pepople writing this have a problem the show looks lik they were cheap they thinnk the animation was good WELL ITS NOT! Lets go to the problem step by step The show gives a sence of the charaters being weak

    Idea I was suprised by the idea using science to solve problems

    Animation- Overuse of bright colors an extemely bright red color!!!! and a bright and disgusting yellow-orange color are way to over used. The characters movements were weak.

    Voice-Weak they all hae this weird tone ehh! ehh!

    Sessions-Well horrible there is a joke session that does not make sence the jokes are not funny!!Who were there ment for?They put this in for a time filler There is also a Whats the big idea part Strange I thought they got that from Pinky Dinky Doo.Also there is a experimental session that is the only session with live action.Why cant we see Sid exparimenting the animation is so discusting someone did want us seeing it.moreless
