Gus Plus Us

I don't know where these lower reviews are coming from but I'm guessing they don't have age appropriate kids. This show is just charming with very catchy music without the addictive brainrot of shows like cocomelon. It's also not some sesame street knockoff, it just reminds me of older shows like lamb chop (but waaaay better). I think it might not be enough to hold the attention of kids older than maybe 5, but I don't like the effect that older kids shows have on my younger kids. It's just 10 minutes of a gentle lesson with good songs, I feel very comfortable with my kids watching one or two while I cook dinner. It's just nice to see something new and not animated.

I turned this on to entertain my infant while I did the dishes and found my four and six year old watching it right along with her. It is now requested regularly by my older kids. Cute little shows with fun storylines and good songs. Everyone loves Gus and Carrot. Lucy is also great and her voice is really nice. I have caught myself singing along to the opening song more often than I care to admit. I'm not exactly sure where the low stars come from. I really like that it is wholesome. I don't need to worry about some random adult concept being unnecessarily introduced. I can get some stuff done without worry and, as any busy mom would know, that is priceless!

Gus Plus Us is a wonderful show for younger children, featuring delightful music and adorable, easy-to-understand stories. It's both entertaining and educational without being annoying! I don't mind when the kids ask to repeat the songs on Spotify. The cleanup song is our end-of-the-day anthem for tidying the house before bed, followed by a dance party if we finish quickly.

I really appreciate the work of the costume and set designers. They have managed to create visually stunning and captivating designs that enhance the overall appeal of the production without overshadowing the performances and the story.

Most shows today try and copy others. This show is a fresh new original inspired by old and new. Our family loves the music and the characters that bring so much light. We find ourselves quoting and singing along after watching each episode. It gets stuck in your head! We hope they continue more seasons as our family is looks forward to each new episode. Karrot is our favorite, she is clever and speaks gibberish. The kids can't get enough of her. Lucy is played by a homeschool mom who creates the show with her husband and kids. The quality of this show is out of this world! I recommend it to every family.

I wasn't sure how much I'd like this show, but it's fun to watch with my kids, and my kids actually request watching it! It's similar to the Fred Penner show, beautiful music, good lessons! It brings back the nostalgia of the kids shows from my childhood... fun, but with little life lessons. Moral lessons like learning how to take accountability for your actions (good or bad), the importance of apologizing, and loving people for who they are inside. There are also episodes with little lessons like learning how to make the most of a rainy day, problem solving, or cleaning up.

My 3 year old will sit and watch the shows on repeat, though my older kids like watching it too. They love the songs and want to listen to the soundtrack in the car! The music is great, so I'm happy to let them listen to it while we drive.
