    Takes me back to my childhood

    This was my favorite show growing up and even now it's just as good! Very good show for introducing children to the great wonders of nature and the animals that live in it. Can't rate this high enough!

    cute show

    I used to watch it every day! That's a little embarrassing because I am 21 now, and this was only about a year or so ago. Anyway, all the animals are so cute and there are lots of interesting facts which make the show interesting for adults, even though it is aimed at children. I think my favorite part is when Zoboomafoo comes along and describes an animal that he's seen. I alway try to beat him to the punch and guess the animals before he finishes describing them and the little cartoon picture is complete of the animal. However, some things do get tedious for adults. I mean, how many times do you have to open a closet and have everything fall on your head before you either learn not to open it, or clean it up?

    Great For Kids

    I remember watching this as a kid and absolutely loving it. The brothers are great together as they introduce fun animals to the viewers. The show is full of educational fun for kids and highly entertaining. It was awesome that they used real animals for the show. It was too bad that they canceled it after two seasons!

    They truely love and appreciate animals

    My kids love this show! Its educationals and fun for them. The kratt brothers are great role models to their young viewers too. Wish we could view all 3 seasons on Netflix tho.

    A Great Show for Children...

    ...and adults alike. Ok, I'll admit it: I watch Zoboomafoo! And I'm not ashamed of it. =) I stumbled across this show one afternoon when Montel was a repeat, and Rosie was a repeat and there was nothing else on. It's great! It's like "The Crocodile Hunter" for children. Lots of animals, goofy brothers who host the show, and a talking leemur as the mascot! Who wouldn't love this show? This one ranks right up there with "Sesame Street" and "The Muppets" from back in my day. (I'm only 18, but that's over-the-hill these days.) I highly recommed this show to everyone.
