Well here's a post I never even imagined I'd start pre children but here we go!! Blaze and the Monster Machines...DS's (3) current favourite programme. The more we watch it the more I wonder if this as actually promoting the morals I agree with. DD (8) is often saying when we watch together that she feels sorry for Crusher as Blaze never lets him win, despite him trying hard. Granted he does cheat but even so I tend to agree with her. Blaze just isn't the kind of character I would want as a role model for my children...I just really don't like him!!!! Haha!

I run screaming from the room as soon as I hear the theme music so o can't say if you are being U or not.

It's not as bad as Sanjay and Craig and Breadwinners though. You have those still to come.

YANBU.
Mine is 3yo too, and loves it.
I often wonder what age group they're aiming for though. Or perhaps American's just love to educate their kids even whilst they're chilling watching tv.
Twirlywoos is on, and its all "Up and down". Thats the whole message in an episode.
Blaze is teaching cohesion/force/angles. Confused

Yanbu - at all.

my DD (6) loves it - we've always encouraged her to watch a mixture of things television wise (when she gets her tv time) but she loves blaze and paw patrol equally... both drive me absolutely insane Not sure if she might be a bit to old for either but she gets an hour of tv after school and its what she chooses... The bits I do listen to on blaze are, at a very rudimental level at least, trying to teach about forces where as paw patrol is just stooooooopid. Blaze is definitely not the word one out there.

I don't mind Blaze, he has taught my 3yo the word 'trajectory' which you don't get on many programmes!

I always wonder why Blaze is the only one with a driver (AJ)? Why don't the others?
