WordGirl

This is one of the few cartoons today that children can wash without being beat over the head by a socio-political message. Sure there are morals to each story, but they're not overt. The only obvious message in this show is the meanings of words and that words do have distinct meanings - something that today's children sorely need to hear!

I'm a forty-something year old guy and I love this show. I don't even kids! But if I did, THIS would be one I would have no problem sitting them down in front of unsupervised and be able to rest assured that they wouldn't be indoctrinated into any immoral teachings.

Of course, as with any children's programming, you should watch this first by yourself to ensure that it's appropriate for YOUR child, but I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

I watched the whole series when I was twelve/thirteen years old, and I loved it! Two years later, I decided to watch it again, and it's just as good as ever! I love how goofy and fun it is, but even me, as a teenager, have learned new things, like "M. C," "tangent," and "redundant." The best part is that it has great representation with no political lean (unlike "The Proud Family.") The animation is pretty basic, but suits the style of the show. The narrator is great. He is like the narrator from "The Powerpuff Girls," who can talk to the characters. Wordgirl is such a sweet superhero and the show is fun, educational, and can be enjoyed by all ages. One of PBS Kids best shows.

This is probably one of the cleverest children's shows that I have ever watched (so far). All the characters are interesting, and the jokes always land. The plots are silly, but they work. My only complaint is the thing where they have to teach children words, but even that is funny most of the time. This show takes superhero tropes and just runs with them in the funniest ways possible. Though the same group of villains show up time and time again, they always manage to be funny and original.

I would highly recommend watching this show.

This show is a massive W. I feel like there needs to be more shows like this on PBS Kids because it teaches kids new words in such a creative way, while providing a plot line that is compelling and keeps the viewer on the edge of their feet. The show also did it's best to teach kids new words that aren't basic like "arc," or "computer." They did their best to teach kids words like "allure," or "dazzling," and I appreciate that. I also appreciated that the narrator was genuinely funny, while also adding to the story. He didn't take away from it, like most cartoon/book narrators. While teaching kids words and keeping them entertained, they also provided lots of representation that is needed in a kids show. Kudos to the creators for creating such a good and educational show.

I watch this everyday with my 5 year old granddaughter. We talk about the " big words" and use them in our daily vocabulary.
