I wasn't sure how much I'd like this show, but it's fun to watch with my kids, and my kids actually request watching it! It's similar to the Fred Penner show, beautiful music, good lessons! It brings back the nostalgia of the kids shows from my childhood... fun, but with little life lessons. Moral lessons like learning how to take accountability for your actions (good or bad), the importance of apologizing, and loving people for who they are inside. There are also episodes with little lessons like learning how to make the most of a rainy day, problem solving, or cleaning up.
My 3 year old will sit and watch the shows on repeat, though my older kids like watching it too. They love the songs and want to listen to the soundtrack in the car! The music is great, so I'm happy to let them listen to it while we drive.

Most shows today try and copy others. This show is a fresh new original inspired by old and new. Our family loves the music and the characters that bring so much light. We find ourselves quoting and singing along after watching each episode. It gets stuck in your head! We hope they continue more seasons as our family is looks forward to each new episode. Karrot is our favorite, she is clever and speaks gibberish. The kids can't get enough of her. Lucy is played by a homeschool mom who creates the show with her husband and kids. The quality of this show is out of this world! I recommend it to every family.

I don't know where these lower reviews are coming from but I'm guessing they don't have age appropriate kids. This show is just charming with very catchy music without the addictive brainrot of shows like cocomelon. It's also not some sesame street knockoff, it just reminds me of older shows like lamb chop (but waaaay better). I think it might not be enough to hold the attention of kids older than maybe 5, but I don't like the effect that older kids shows have on my younger kids. It's just 10 minutes of a gentle lesson with good songs, I feel very comfortable with my kids watching one or two while I cook dinner. It's just nice to see something new and not animated.

Finally a kids show the whole family can enjoy! We have loved every episode and have the songs on repeat throughout the week. The episodes always have the cutest story & my kids are always inspired by them. There's no hidden agenda (like most kids shows have these days). The Christmas episode in the first season is probably one of the (if not THE) best episodes I've ever seen in a kids show. We plan to make that a tradition to watch every year! Also, the Happy Birthday episode around our birthdays because it's so good! Thank you to the Gus Plus Us team for making a children's show that's fun, inspiring and heartwarming to watch.

Gus Plus Us is a wonderful show for younger children, featuring delightful music and adorable, easy-to-understand stories. It's both entertaining and educational without being annoying! I don't mind when the kids ask to repeat the songs on Spotify. The cleanup song is our end-of-the-day anthem for tidying the house before bed, followed by a dance party if we finish quickly.
I really appreciate the work of the costume and set designers. They have managed to create visually stunning and captivating designs that enhance the overall appeal of the production without overshadowing the performances and the story.

I have four kids, ages one, three, five, and seven. They all love it. Even my one year old asks for Gus by name. My two youngest dance to the opening song, and my two oldest sing along. At the end of each episode, there is a custom song recapping the the lesson the kids should have learned. Classic sesame Street was my one year old's favorite show, now he wants "guss". For a dad with four younger children, it is becoming rare to find children shows that don't push an agenda on young minds. I never need to pre screen any of these episodes, Gus Plus Us is always appropriate for my kids.
I wish I could give it more than 10 stars.

I don't know who's giving it low stars. I can't imagine anyone actually watching this with toddlers or young children and not loving it. The songs are original, fun, and at times really beautifully done. The theme song alone gets my girls happier and more excited than any other show. It's sweet, and has some funny one liners for parents as well (off the top of my head, Death Star and Pluto jokes in "Space Adventure")
Gus and Karrot are adorable, you just wish you could hug them, and Lucy is SO likeable. I can think of another show in this age group with a lead female that is so annoying to me, but Lucy really grows on you. And wow, what a voice!
I think it's great! Very original, educational, wholesome, and a ton of fun 😁

Gus Plus Us is an amazing new kids' show that our family can't get enough of!! We've been hooked from the start, but Season 2 has really taken things to the next level. Every episode is packed with fun and keeps our little ones totally entertained.
One of the best things about the show is the music! It's fresh, fun, and doesn't drive us crazy like some other kids' shows. We're always singing along to the catchy songs from both Season 1 and the new Season 2 songs. It's rare to find a kids' show where the music is so enjoyable for both kids and parents.
The band episode in Season 2 is a big hit at our house. The way they create music is so cool, and it even got us to have our own little family jam session. You can tell they put a lot of effort into making each episode both fun and interesting.
Gus Plus Us has become a favorite in our home, and we can't recommend it enough to other families looking for a great kids' show. It's a total win for both kids and parents, and we're excited to see what adventures come next!

I turned this on to entertain my infant while I did the dishes and found my four and six year old watching it right along with her. It is now requested regularly by my older kids. Cute little shows with fun storylines and good songs. Everyone loves Gus and Carrot. Lucy is also great and her voice is really nice. I have caught myself singing along to the opening song more often than I care to admit. I'm not exactly sure where the low stars come from. I really like that it is wholesome. I don't need to worry about some random adult concept being unnecessarily introduced. I can get some stuff done without worry and, as any busy mom would know, that is priceless!
