Paddington

I recently watched the 1976 TV show "Paddington," and I have to say it left me feeling pretty mixed. On one hand, the character of Paddington himself is adorable and has that classic charm that kids and adults can appreciate. His love for marmalade and his clumsiness are definitely endearing.

However, the show had some pacing issues and felt a bit dated. The animation wasn't what I expected-it's a bit rough around the edges, which can be distracting. Some episodes were a bit shorter than necessary, which made it hard to stay engaged.

Overall, while I appreciate the nostalgic value and the sweet moments in the show, I think it could've benefited from a bit more polish and tighter storytelling. It's a decent watch, but nothing that blew me away. I'd give it a 5 out of 10. It's enjoyable for a quick trip down memory lane, but not something I'd seek out again.

I do admit I have a thing for nostalgia, and I loved Paddington when I was a kid. At 18, I still love it now, it is absolutely wonderful. And I agree with the previous reviewer, it is better than the children's shows of today, which are either bad or once good shows now mediocre. I didn't feel there was a wasted moment watching Paddington, it was whimsical, charming and funny. I always loved the characters, cute and endearing Paddington, Mr and Mrs Brown and the hilarious Mr.Curry("BEAR!"). The look of the series is superb, and the music is excellent. I also loved the story lines and Paddington's situations and the narration by the wonderful Michael Hordern. There are so many things to like about Paddington, it is a wonderful show. 10/10 Bethany Cox

"Paddington Bear" was a big thing, even before the films came out! So this TV show had to live up to high expectations. But it smashed all expectations! The classic feel 👌. The story telling 👌. The practical effects 👌. Everything was to die for! Paddington in this looks so cute. The way how they keep it so accurate by basically just reading the book is just *chef's kiss*. What more can I say. If you've got kids or you're a die-hard Paddington fan, this is definitely for you. If I had to rate this, it would be a solid 9 out of 10! Practical effects are amazing in this show, controlling Paddington's puppet. Storytelling is on par with the films of today. Definitely watch this NOW!

I remember as a kid watching this when it used to air on the show "Pinwheel." I loved each of the adventures Paddington Bear used get into, and the stop-action animation (think Gumby) made this show fun to watch! I hope children of today will get to experience this wonderful show...its a heck of a lot better then what kids are exposed to today.

Narrated by the fantastic Michael Hordern, this series brings to life each of the short stories in a charming yet funny manner. I would definitely recommend it to children and it's one of those rare kids' shows that adults can enjoy just as much.

10/10: Short segmented episodes and good voice acting makes it lack repetition and is always enjoyable.
