Maggie and the Ferocious Beast

This show has been commented on already but the comment wasn't accurate as far as I'm concerned. The previous comment talked about the episode where Hamilton catches a fish and keeps it as a pet. It is hard for me to believe this person actually watched the episode. The entire episode was about how sad the fish was and how it wanted to be back in the river. Hamilton realizes this and lets it go back to its home. This episode has a great moral and is not detrimental to children. All the episodes of Maggie and the Ferocious Beast I have ever seen (and I'm pretty sure I've seen them all) have had wonderful stories and morals. My children love the characters and the show. I highly recommend it.

I have to say that this show is my daughter's favorite and has been since she was 2 (now 4). A previous comment suggested that a "ferocious beast" might scare children, but have you SEEN the beast character? If that goofy thing can scare your kids they might as well pack it in now. I never really thought about the content much until when asking my daughter where she learned a particular phrase or fact, she so often told me she learned it on "Maggie". Politeness, behaviour, teamwork, and many other things are taught, as well as a great deal of vocabulary (by way of "what does that word mean..."). One of the best on TV right now. As much as I LOVED bugs bunny cartoons as a kid, about the most they ever taught me was not to anger a guy with a gun or mail order access to explosives. :-)

Wow! This is a really cute, fun, and entertaining show. I said that because I watch this on the Noggin network with my 16-month-old nephew from time to time. It's hard to say which show on the Noggin network is the best. Still it's really cute, fun, and entertaining. The things I like most about this series are the animation and the art design. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that the people at the Noggin network really know how to reach a toddler's developing mind. Now, in conclusion, if you have children, nieces, or nephews, I strongly recommend this really cute, fun, and entertaining show. I guarantee you that they will enjoy it.

I never liked this show very much. There are some children's shows that I don't mind, and there's some I even enjoy myself (although these are mostly older kids' shows.) But "Maggie and the Ferocious Beast" is one show I would not recommend. It's OK for children under two or three years old, but older children often get ideas off TV, which could easily happen if they watch Maggie. The show can indeed teach good manners, but otherwise the ideas can be unwise and even upsetting to children who don't know better. For example, in one show, Hamilton the pig caught a fish from a pond to keep as a pet. If a young child watches that, they might think it's a good idea and request to do the same thing sometime, perhaps on a family outing to a park with a pond. They could easily become upset and frustrated if they're not able to do everything on the show that the characters seem to be able to accomplish so easily. Additionally, I think some of the shows can be a bit frightening to a small child. Even the thought of a giant beast can scare some children, as well as "the big duck" on the show, which could easily give children nightmares. I would not recommend this show unless the person watching is too young to try the ideas on the show or be frightened by any of the show's characters.

I have fond memories of this show. I'm not sure what it is. It feels a lot like a little kids' show and I was not exactly a LITTLE kid when I saw it.

But it has an ineffable charm. Despite the title, the title characters from a menage a trois with Hamilton the anally retentive pig. His and Beast's clashing personalities were quite enjoyable with Maggie moderating as the audience surrogate. It seems to indulge a fantasy of a little girl taking a maternal relationship with a hug creature.

Nowhere land is a wonderfully inventive setting and it's quiet captivating to explore its ins and outs with the main characters plus the colorful peripheral cast.

I like the vibrant, but not garish, color pallet and the easy going whimsical story lines.

I watched it in England where they have dubbed it with British english voices but the casting and acting was enchanting.
