My Bedbugs

Have you actually WATCHED the show? Have you actually sat down and watched 5 EPISODES? If you have, then you should already know by now that this show should be WAY higher than a 1/10. The music, bops and earworms! The characters, savage and haha XD funny! For an even better experience watch when stoned. You won't regret it.

Super catchy music, eye catching visuals, and very helpful life lessons! What more do you want? And yes I'm aware that it doesn't look like they had the highest budget, but Alex J Greene, Carol Sweeney, Carol Bartholomew, and Kevin Sharpe have truly outdone themselves when using the resources they had making this masterpiece! And the characters look and feel like they actually fit in this!

Given the fact that I'm a month and a half out of a bedbug NIGHTMARE, the title of this show was exceptionally off-putting, but my boyfriend's two-year-old wouldn't stop pointing at the picture of it on Netflix and begging me to play it. While the voices are a little annoying and the costume thing creeps me out (Barney creeps me out, too), the little man LOVES this show. I think we've watched the same three episodes about a dozen times since we found it yesterday afternoon. I personally liked that some of the songs had lyrics on them since the little guy seems very interested in reading. So, while I can't stand this show, the kid loves it and that's what actually matters, is it not? Especially in the wake of s--- like Spongebob Squarepants. I'll take My Bedbugs, title and all, over that crappy cartoon, ANY day.

Apparently the TV producers think kids are too stupid to enjoy any quality at all. Now, sadly, truth of the matter is kids probably would like this show because it's got puppets and costume characters that look funny and have silly voices. The character's voices are actually really obnoxious. The voice over actors are more over the top than in most bad educational shows. It's almost unbearable to listen to these ugly costumed freaks talk. The show is about three bedbug siblings, Gooby, Toofy and Wuzzy a talking pillow named Snoozy and this weird talking vacuum named J. Edgar that tells them what to do. The only positive I can say for this low budget show is the sets look pretty cool in a weird cardboard cut out way, but it doesn't add enough to make this quality in any way.

My rating: * out of ****. 30 mins. TVY

They sing! They dance! They learn valuable lessons all at the same time. It's My Bedbugs, the new DVD series, by GreeneStuff Inc. Join this brother and sister trio of Woozy, Toofy, and Gooby as they go on adventures, learn about teamwork, and have fun while doing it.

Each episode teaches children the importance of working on a project as a team. There are lots of original songs and dancing added too. My daughter found the dancing and singing to be the most fun of each episode.

The cast in My Bedbugs are brightly colored, life-sized characters. Think of that famous purple dinosaur and you are on the right track. The show is simple in concept but teaches valuable lessons to children that they can use later on in the classroom and in life. Each episode points out the need to learn to work together as a team while illustrating another lesson such as organization and the importance of keeping one's room clean, map segments, or storm safety. As children grow they will find the need to work in teams but that it can be challenging as well. My Bedbugs can give them a head start on this.

There are many other characters that join in the fun throughout each episode. There's Windy, the window, who strives to let sunshine into the bedbugs world. J.Edgar, the vacuum, is the voice of reason and a teacher to the bedbugs. Snoozy, the pillow, acts as a favorite toy or security blanket. Then finally there is Ruffy, their pet fish, who joins the bedbugs on all their adventures. Your child will love this fun bunch as they dance, sing, and teach together!
