The Upside Down Show

Started watching this show with my 4 month old granddaughter (who basically smiles at the moving pictures) but I am hooked. Are these guys good!!! Absolutely hilarious. they are masters at pantomime and physical humor.

Their trip to the art museum was too funny! Another time they were in the sticky room and stuck to the walls. Amazing. They talk to a fly, they have strange little fluffy things called schmuzzies for friends. you never know what will happen next. The show encourages children to be silly and have fun pretending.

I now watch the show regularly and I am 56. I would love to know more about these guys. I hope this show becomes a HUGE HIT.

My four year old daughter absolutely loves this show. Her forty something mother also loves this show. With its interactive remote control and the total silliness of the show, well it's just magic. I've seen the Umbilical Brothers live and their use of mime and film is very clever and very funny, so I was intrigued when I saw that were starring in a show for preschoolers. The great thing about it is that it doesn't talk down to kids and the hummer is intelligent as well as being completely off the wall at times. My daughter especially loves David and Shane and the schmuzzies. I think the beauty of the show is that you don't know what is going to happen next. Despite it being primarily targeted for preschoolers, there is lots of subversive hummer so that parents watching will enjoy it as well. Absolutely recommended.

Oh please tell me they are making more episodes of this wonderful show! My son is only 2 1/2 and loves watching them pretend, but I love it for the jokes they add for the adults. My favorite was the episode with the orange golf ball and they were yelling at it like Adam Sandler does in Happy Gilmore. I feel really good about letting my son watch this show because I know that he's learning while we are both being entertained.

We watch this show on a channel called Noggin, which has a great selection of educational programs such as this one. Another favorite of ours on this channel is Jack's Big Music Show. Kids learn all about different kinds of music. It is similar to The Upside Down Show because it also has the characters talk to the camera while not talking down to the audience. I wish that more children's shows could be like The Upside Down Show and Jack's Big Music Show.

I absolutely love this show. Thanks again Noggin for wonderful, refreshingly creative and hip programming. This is television that I don't mind watching over and over with my daughter. Shane and David are amazingly talented as they are turned upside down, put in slow motion, put in reverse and a multitude of other interactive situations by the viewer. They make me laugh even more than they make my daughter laugh! In each episode they introduce the viewer to a world of new experiences in the most off-beat and wacky manner. It gives children the OK to act silly and goofy and to be creative in pretend play. I find it inspiring as a parent. It's the best new show out there in my opinion. This program keeps my 2-year-old's attention the entire time it's on.

thank god for the Upside Down show. it is an excellent, witty, entertaining show. And it's in Australian accents. it's terrifically inventive...surreal...intelligent. The performances are engaging and imaginative and the writing very clever. the physicalisation of everything is inspiring eg the characters dangling upside down. the door knocking games....the rewinding of the fingers destroying the sand castle, the talk of yoga poses, the investigation of all the elements of a beach.... the miming knitting...my daughter responds to it all. it's refreshingly noncommercial and the miming games are easy to continue playing once the show is over. i feel a bit guilty letting my child watch too much television, but not if the shows are in the spirit of this one. i had a 6 year old watching the show with my 5 year old daughter last night and he was laughing hysterically. Congratulations to the whole creative crew. I hope you all become millionaires from it!
