Reviews

invisibleunicornninja This show was shown to me when I was in the "target audience" and I thought it was a punishment. Every episode is exactly the same, the animation is terrible, the voice acting is bad, and its BORING.
exabopper This charming program follows a boy named Sid, a very curious kid, through a school day. Sid starts the day with a question, and the class explores the science behind it with simple experiments and class discussion. The program's tone is very light and humorous, filled with lots of music and jokes, and it is effective for teaching natural science. The show is CG animated, but it contains live-action segments of kids in school performing experiments. Sid himself appears to be in first or second grade, but the show is aimed at pre-K and kindergärtners too, as there is no reading involved, just a lot of music and exploration.
