I'm sorry, but I really fucking hate this show. Why was this show so popular? It treats kids like braindead morons. If you compare this show to Reading Rainbow, WordGirl, The Electric Company, and Between the Lions (which are FAR better reading comprehension shows!), this show acts like it's audience has no intelligence and it also butchers already existing fairy tales. Can someone tell me why this show was so popular? I get that it's for toddlers, but toddlers deserve GOOD TV. If you compare it to other shows for young kids that are similar like Reading Rainbow, WordGirl, Electric Company, and Between the Lions, it's far worse in comparison and basically feels like a soulless show that acts like the viewing audience is mentally retarded, while WordGirl atleast was smart enough to not talk down to 4 year olds
