Castelo Rá-Tim-Bum

I was surprised to see how bad this was rated! This is a wonderful and original TV show and, even though its target audience is children and preteens, everyone can enjoy it! It's engaging, fun and educational altogether. In just one episode, the viewer may learn about arts, music, literature, math, science, world culture, etc. Speaking of culture, there are also some aspects of the Brazilian culture in it, like a folklore mythical creature as a character and footage of indigenous life. It is also moralistic - without being preachy - and full of fantasy. What else can you ask of a children's TV show? When I was a child, I used to watch this show religiously and, as many other young Brazilians I know of, it made my childhood more magical, so to speak. Even to this day I occasionally watch it for nostalgia's sake and I still find it quite enjoyable.

I gave it a 8 because it is sometimes overacted and has bad special effects.
