  • This show sucks. Both seasons do.

    1.0
    Season 1 (2000 - 2001)

    Premiere: June 9, 2000

    End: April 26, 2001

    Episodes Aired: 20

    This show sucked. It really did. All the characters are terrible, mainly Red. My least favorite episodes of this season are Humpty Dumpty and Cinderella.

    Season 2

    Premiere: June 21, 2001

    End: February 8. 2002

    Episodes Aired: 20

    In this all new season of shittiness, episodes got worse. Sequel stories and non existent stores are now featured everywhere. Like for example, the series finale, Gialeos Space Adventure. That wasn't about a story. This show sucks, and the new characters and the redesign with Red being from white to pale as a ghost is terrible. I rate this fuck full excuse for 40 hour long episodes foreve rnothing. Tickety Toc, aired just months after Super Why was cancelled sucked as well. Luckily that show only lasted like 26 episodes.moreless
  • NO LOGIC whatsoever.

    3.0
    The whole show, the relationships between people and events, and the way it all unrolls does not make any sense and has no application to real life. It is not the worst show on TV since it still teaches some alphabet, but it absolutely does not relate to life. Feels like those who create it are really lazy to come up with something more logical yet exciting.
  • Solving problems

    1.0
    I have two kids that watch this show. It is horrible.

    1 You cannot look within a book to solve life problems

    2 You cannot change the words in a story to solve your problems

    3 You need to learn to solve your own problems in life by asking questions or asking a adult

    4 In reality if you went about trying to solve problems SUPER WHY style people would be dead or in a hospital

    5 Try other channels like Nick Jr. or Sprout

    Cool!
  • Good spelling, dangerous lessons

    1.0
    Great for teaching the alphabet, but teaches children that life revolves around them; if they don't "like" a situation, story or moral truth, they can change it with magic. In "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," the problem is that the parents were insensitive jerks because they wouldn't believe everything their son told them without question.



    This ultimately undermines teaching. The shows reinforces children's pre-existing belief that they already know everything; parents & teachers are idiots who "just don't understand" anything.
