      Great show

      Martha speaks is a great show that everyone would love.

      Why I didn't gave ten stars? Well, not everything is perfect... But really guys, if you looking for a show which your kids will enjoy to watch, I think this is a great one to start with.

      Martha Speaks is the Fran drescher of PBS

      Just a quick fact about Me before you read my review. I'm 15 yrs. old and i watched this show 4 years ago, and i'm still watching to prove my points, plus i wanted to tell you this so you don't think i'm an adult. Martha Speakes is a show for kids of the age of 8 to 11 yrs. old. This show is very age appropriate. No adult, teenager ,or grown up kid will like how this show explains words. Especially when it said from a certain dogs voice. Martha's voice makes her the Fran Drescher of PBS. Her voice is so annoying it turns off anyone who is above the age of 11. Not all of the characters act like their age. The frame rate of the show is decent, because the charters basically painted paper puppets. And can some explain to me how a dog who ate alphabet soup and got the power to speak, can call the police with her dog paws, and get a ton of petitions signatures to ban 4th of July fireworks. Even though this is a cartoon, it can try to make some sense. I give Martha Speakes a 5.9/10. This review was made in 2012.

      Marvelous animated dog show on earth!!!

      Martha Speaks says it all about the adventures of Martha, a mixed breed dog who gains the ability to talk after she starts eating alphabet soup with letters that go up to her brain instead of her stomach!!! Audiences of all ages will be delighted by this television tale that gives you the wonders of what their pets are thinking!!!

      Underratedly Amazing

      Like Arthur, this was one of my favorite PBS Kids shows. It's kinda like they're sister shows. I know this one isn't at Arthur's quality and memorability, but it's still really fun to watch. Even with the supernatural elements, especially the talking dog, the characters still feel real, like what Arthur does. It's sad that this show gets very little attention, but it will always be a part of my memories.

      Verdict is mutty and educational

      Martha is an educational show for the tots. The show touches on language, and social skills subjects.

      Its a very open world show with an interesting animation choice.

      My only flaw is I have a hatred towards 4 legged mutts. The mutts ruin the show because they aren't likeable. All the other supporting casts are but the mutts are simply worthless.

      Overall its a good show to sit and chill to.

      Verdict mutty of a show. mutt lovers will love this show.
