1. Follow up for those who don't know who the Wonder Pets are...

They're a show on Nick Jr. during the day 11 am EST.

My 2 year olds go to a baby sitter ONCE a week. The REST of the week, however, they've been saying things I didn't understand. (like, "Help!, Help!" when we visited a farm and saw geese)

Last week, my sitter told me how much they liked the Wonder Pets - checked them out here at home and... WOW!

The music is GREAT, and I've since found they use a REAL orchestra.

2. Yes, the themes are operatic at times....

and my 2 year old dances to the music. I assume that when he's old enough for the opera, he'll be right on board with people singing their words instead of speaking them! GO WONDERPETS!

3. One of those rare examples of a good kids' show.

Stressing cooperation, helping others, sharing credit, etc. My kids are on the verge of being a little old for it, but my 5-y.o. daughter will sometimes choose to watch it for her TV time.

4. My two year old twin boys love them too!

My four year old also likes them. I find them annoying after having watched them for some time now. I think I like Diego better :silly:

5. Any show that makes my child request celery is great by me

:D

6. We like it, too, except for that frigging theme song

Great, now it's back in my head again.

Who knows the words here? Join in everyone:

Wonder Pets, Wonder Pets!
We're on our waaaaay,
To help a baby animal
and save the daaay.
We're not too big,
and we're not too tough,
but when we work together,
we've got the right stuff!

Goooooo, Wonder Pets!
Yaaaaaaay!

Argh.

7. My daughter LOVES them!

She's six and usually likes the "big kid" programs more but for some reason, she just loves WonderPets. I find the big red W on their boat/car a little unsettling. ;)

8. It's a great show

It stops just sort of being too cute by throwing in some jokes for the parents.
