Our four year old daughter, who is bi-lingual (Dutch and Mandarin Chinese), just loves the show. Last July we purchased the Chinese language versions when we were in China and she can't stop watching the DVD's (before she already watched the Dutch versions on local TV).Not only is she now improving on her Chinese but she is also learning English! (the Dutch and Chinese versions replace the Spanish text parts in the original show with English).Go Diego Go! is not only good the learn a little bit of another language, it also teaches the kids something interesting about animals! Regularly we also let her search Youtube to watch parts of other language version so she can get acquainted with more than a few languages.There should be more shows like this that are educational and have no violence in them!
... View MoreWow! This is a really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational show. I said that because I watch this on Nickelodeon and Noggin with my 2½-year-old nephew from time to time. It's hard to say which show on Nickelodeon and the Noggin network is the best. If I had to pick, this would definitely be one of the cutest. Still it's really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that the people at Nickelodeon and Noggin really know how to reach a toddler's developing mind. Now, in conclusion, if you have children, nieces, or nephews, I strongly recommend this really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational show. I guarantee you that they will enjoy it.
... View MoreMy 4 year old daughter and 2 year old son are both HUGE Dora fans. Now, they have to watch Dora and Diego both, and if they happen to miss Diego for the day, I have VERY upset kiddos. Their 7 year old brother also enjoys Diego on his days off of school, or when (thanks to inDemand) I've "rented" Diego for his sibs. We love Rosie Perez as Click(s?) and my 2 year old just loves Baby Jaguar as Diego's constant companion. And I have to agree with the other commenter here, that I find myself occasionally dancing in my seat to the music, and FREQUENTLY find myself singing "Click! Take a pic! Click! Take a pic!" late in the evening much to my annoyance. The songs are annoyingly catchy and get stuck in your head, but they're so cute that you don't mind.

My 2-year old son tolerated Dora for about a three-week stint, then abandoned her. (Thank God. That show is insufferable.) But he is a devoted Diego fan, despite the fact that they've only had about eight different episodes to spread out over their first four weeks. He doesn't care.Unlike Dora, who just stares into space for five minutes while you look for Strawberry Mountain like she's brain-damaged, Diego does smart, intricate things like identify animals by their individual cries and their paw prints. The other good thing is that, by focusing on South American animals, it teaches kids that there's more to nature than just cows, pigs, and chickens. It's a wonderful start to getting kids to realize that there's a bigger world out there.My final thought? It's one of the few shows on Nick that I can actually sit through, so that's pretty good.
