Chip y Potato

I stumbled on this while watching another show I've seen at least 6 times. So I thought at least this show isn't THAT one, right? The main characters are a family of pugs, all their names are based on potatoes. Chip has a pet mouse she keeps in her pocket named Potato. Everyone thinks Potato is a stuffed doll. The rest of the "cast" is filled with jungle animals. The episodes are about Chip and her daily adventures. While it's one episode there are several stories inside of it. On Netflix there's an entire season available. My 5 year old granddaughter really liked it. One part Chip start kindergarten, she gets roller skates and does chores. My granddaughter said "she's just like me!"

My child is apprehensive about new shows and watched this one from the start. She has seen every episode multiple times and still chooses it. It doesn't kill my soul to watch it with her either. Has good lessons without being in your face and seems to be inclusive of various situations.

The way the characters hang their paws, or when Little Mommy sniffs around the floor for her earrings is super adorable. I like that they have incorporated how the animals act into it, haven't seen that before. It's also nice that they included some diversity, like Nico's family being a single parent household (did they move there after the divorce? Who knows? I've over-analysed the show way too many times.) My son absolutely loves the show, and he's almost 3, so it appeals to younger audience with low attention span (including myself hehe). I must've seen the whole season maybe 15 times by now. So we're waiting for the second season and merch being released. Would love the outfits of the characters including Potato's hoodie, and pajamas, why isn't it available yet?!

We are big fans of pugs in this house, and I think it's just a really cute show. I love to see a show with realistic parents, siblings, and school. Sweet Chip befriends Nico the panda very quickly and makes him feel welcome at his new school which I think is awesome. However, I specifically wanted to say how GREAT I think this show is for its inclusivity. This new season has introduced new neighbors, The Razzles. A gay zebra couple raising their twins. I think that is just awesome! They introduced themselves normally and NO ONE made a big deal at all about their sexuality. That's how it should be! I'm really proud of this show for naturally including them. My youngest son loves to watch it and it's one of those shows I actually like to watch with him.

The beauty of this kid show is how inclusive it is. As a family living happily in modern times, it's great to see a kid show with LGBTQ* characters. Good job, good hearts. Thank you.
