Blaze and the Monster Machines

It's my son's favorite.

It's annoying and poorly written, but he absolutely loves it. So 10/10 stars.

This show popped up as a recommendation after my child was watching Paw Patrol and I was dreading another mindless show that I sit through hating the characters and trying to figure out what the writers were smoking when they wrote the non-sensical plot.

It's not like this at all. It's fun, has a good message, and teaches kids a lot. The interactive parts feel a little forced but once my son got used to them and how long you're given to answer, he felt really involved in the story and loves it.

Each episode has a specific topic to teach (angles, inertia, width, etc.) which they cover well.

Ah, yes. The classic "cheating is okay because everybody loves you" story. I don't understand how inventions are considered cheating, but nitro boosters aren't.

Blaze is one of the most egotistical "heroes" I've ever seen in a kids show. He can't handle the thought of losing a single race, (which they don't get any reward for, by the way) so he resorts to blatant cheating.

The show teaches basic engineering and science, which is a great concept, but I'm surprised at how not grounded in reality it is for teaching physics and such.

Overall, the show has flawed morals, boring and egotistical characters, and is just poorly made all around.

This show is way more educational than PawPatrol, Top Wing, etc. It's super frustrating when this show only plays at times that are most inconvenient. My child only watches TV in the morning or on rainy days. Even if I wait around until 12:30 to let him see the show it's a rerun.. and then the 3:30 showing is the same showing!!! Why can't Blaze play like PawPatrol plays.. "over and over again"? My son absolutely loves Blaze it stinks that the showing are so limited.

It's fine it's educational but for a quality stand point....eh. Blaze is kept on being treated like a god & it bothers me. Crusher the villian definitely needs more credit. But it's still fine
