Where's Waldo?

First of all the show is called Where's Wally. In the first episode the wizard calls him Waldo and then says oops Wally. Why is that funny? I assume there's a secret reason his name isn't Waldo but it's never explained even on today's wikipedia. For some reason all the characters have other characters voices. You'll encounter a Woody Allen bat, a Bert Lahr ghost and even Brad Garret's wizard is just a sad Rodney Dangerfield. All of that has already been done by slightly better cartoons. My only real issue is that I don't understand what audience they are going for here. The stories seem to be geared towards 5 year olds, then they make jokes about peeping Toms, Cleveland sucking and porn magazines. It's all very bizarre and was quickly forgotten for good reason.

This is your basic run o the mill, Saturday morning cartoon. There's nothing a inappropriate about this cartoon like the other two reviewers nit-picked. The "peeping Tom" joke has been used since the golden age of Looney Tunes and some of the other "adult jokes" are nowhere near as bad as what you'd find on something more mainstream like Animaniacs. As far as the name of Wally compared to Waldo, the original books published in United Kingdom were named Where's Wally. Only until the books were brought to North America was the name Waldo used. So anytime you see this cartoon as Where's Wally, it's because you're watching the British version of the show. It helps to do a little research before you write a review, doesn't it? This series follows along with the books fairly well in that Waldo goes to different locations to solve things and meet new people. If you're a fan of the books, you'll like this cartoon. Don't let the other reviewers deter you. They probably binge watch episodes of shows like Caillou.

First of all the show is called Where's Wally?. Why? Obviously because the people involved weren't very bright. They constantly make adult themed jokes that a kid would never get. The first episode makes a peeping Tom joke and one about how much Cleveland sucks. No kid would ever understand either one. Then the rest of the show seems to be geared towards 5 year olds. It's no surprise that this has been hidden away for decades.
