Blaze and the Monster Machines

Yeah. It's terrible. There's no proper plot, it's full of ridiculous deus ex machinas all over the place and it's completely repetitive. The 'teaching' is fine for a very small child but is very basic. BUT...if your child is into cars, Disney Cars, trains, boats, planes, any form of transport, then they're probably going to like it. So it's terrible but if it gives my little one some joy I'll sit through it and sing the song and pretend like it's good just to enjoy a bit of quiet time with my little one.

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.

It's my son's favorite.

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

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.
