My kids love this show. They've listed their favorite episodes thus:

1.Room swap 2.Clubhouse (remix) 3.The Great Pioneer Adventure 4.My babysister the babysitter 5. A dreamhouse puppytale 6. Pied pupper 7. A delicate situation 8. Balancing Act 9.Time will tell 10. A day at the beach

Honorable mentions: -picture perfect cake -ballad of windy willows

Some of the other episodes had yoga which my kids think is boring, or (in the case of the mermaid episodes) were too suspenseful. But its a great series and they always look forward to new episodes.

Best Barbie series I've seen. Barbie is smart, kind, talented as well as being humble, assertive and graceful. Well suited to children, my daughter loved it and she's 5 years and I was hooked too. I hope they make more episodes! Just be careful not to mistake it with Barbie Adventures in Dreamhouse as that is not as well executed or appropriate.

This version is more positive for kids and has more relatable content than the original Barbie Dreamhouse series.

However, the reason the original was good was because it was nonsensical and hilarious, not because anything was positive or relatable. The original is about immortal plastic dolls living in plastic houses in Malibu, it was escapist silly fun for the whole family. It doesn't feel like other kid shows because it's so absurd and imaginative.

My daughter(11), husband, and I loved watching the previous series when she was younger and it's still good, but when we watched this new version today we were surprised that they went in the complete opposite direction of the original. It's not a bad kids show but there's none of the irreverent humor or really anything clever or interesting here in my opinion. My daughter also didn't like that Barbie lacked her endless optimism and willingness to be an open book with her friends in the new version. And where's Midge? She's the best character.

I realize this is a silly review but we got pretty riled up watching the new Barbie Dreamhouse series today, and that's also a bit silly. So it seemed fitting.

Yes, this is a children's animated series. So are the storylines amazingly complex and creative? No. But are they entertaining and fun? Yes. I love that family values are highlighted and that the parents aren't portrayed as idiots. I don't mind watching this with my daughter.

This is not just a review but a comparison. My daughters have always loved the Barbie shows and series. The last Barbie was degrading and sexist. This new one is AWESOME! It teaches and builds people up and Barbie comes from a family and we get to know them. And ken isn't a potential boyfriend but her neighbor and friend. It's so improved. We LOVE it!
