Pocoyo is my 20-month old son's absolute favorite thing to watch. His Grandma kind of got him hooked on it while I was at work all day so I started watching it to see what he was experiencing. At first it kind of annoyed me with its very bold colors on a white background, but then I saw the Dance Off episode which is hilarious and gives nods to pop and rock music, and decided I loved it too. The British narrator is very good and the quirky personalities of each character keep us interested. Pato is a bit neurotic, Elly is a primadonna , the octopus Fred is a crack-up with his gibberish, there's a silly little caterpillar that makes funny faces, and Pocoyo himself behaves much like any toddler with ups and downs, a bit of mischief and an innocent soul. There's an episode called Angry Alien which frightens my son so I have to watch it when he goes to bed but it's hilarious with this little green alien who has this evil laugh and he tries to take over Pocoyo's world but he's really small so no one takes him seriously and he gets so mad! It's pretty funny. Now the husband and I watch the show and we love it as much as our son does.

I took look and after a second's worth of gaze, I saw something that deserves no praise. It's "Matthew Rants!" It's time for "Matthew Rants!" It's "Matthew Rants!" I'm no Spongebob Squarepants. It's "Matthew Rants!" I can bash Walter Lantz. It's "Matthew Rants!" It's time for "Matthew Rants!" OK, the first part of the song was true. I heard the sound of a bratty baby crying his lungs off and throwing tantrums. The baby was accompanied by a duck, a dog and a pink elephant! The characters are in absolute nowhere. My brain cannot handle it. I rushed to the room and changed the channel! This was the most ANNOYING thing I have ever seen in my life! Oh man! The plot is bland! There is no pop-culture references! The characters are annoying! It eats up my brain- cells. Who created this show? Zombies?! Who are the shows target audience? Ages dead to two?! That should be the real target audience! BABIES! Babies who should don't know their world around themselves! NOT @!#$*%-ING TEENAGERS. As soon as I found out what the show was and looked it up on IMDb, smoke was firing out of my ears. Smoke turned to flame and I dumped water on my head and I didn't want my hair to catch fire. Oh no! Upon reading the reviews on IMDb, teens loved it. WHAT THE WHAAAAAATTTT?!?!?!?!?!? Like I said before, this show is for babies. It is unbearable. It could make LILO AND STITCH look like ALF. It could make MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC look like THE LOONEY TUNES SHOW (read my reviews). It could make LOONEY TUNES look like MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS!!! Why would teens love it?! First Bronies (read my MLP:FIM review) and now this abomination! What next male fans of CARE BEARS are called Care-Bros? Manberries (which sounds like something out of AUSTIN POWERS), which are adult male fans of STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE? Brobies, men who play with Barbie and Ken crap?! This is the end of civilization. It's 2013, a lot of terrible things happened in our personal lives! Those terrible events in our lives puts the 13 in 2013. Bottom line: This is made exclusively for babies. So just avoid it. For the girls, I recommend MY LITTLE PONY:FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC. For the boys, PHINEAS AND FERB, T.U.F.F. PUPPY or FAIRLY ODDPARENTS. This has been another "Matthew Rants." One more thing, where are the title baby's parents?! Did they just abandon him in nowhere land?
... View MoreI saw Pocoyo the other day on CITV and it was BRILLIANT! The one I saw was the one with "Super Pocoyo", who refused to answer to Steven Fry when he said, "Hello Pocoyo", to which Pocoyo replied, "Mm". I think that this is the only good cartoon kiddy show to be shown on ITV since the glory days of Tots TV (which was CLASS). Overall, I think Pocoyo should be upgraded to a primetime slot on ITV1 in place of Ant and Dec as the host of Saturday Night Takeaway. Well done on a blistering career Pocoyo, and long may your reign of disturbing blueness continue. I also like your weird mates, including the bird who can twist his beak 360 degrees.
... View MoreWhen I first saw Pocoyo I said "Isn't that the kid from Digimon?" as the startup went on we saw a duck that looks and acts like Coach Z from the ever popular Homestarrunner.com website, a pink elephant (Witch is always cool) and a dog I though Pocoyo called "Bo-ya!" So naturally I was intrigued. Now i've seen 1/5 of the season me and my 18 year old brother are hooked! It has great appeal to everyone. My personal favourite is the episode with the Martians.Pocoyo is a small boy who looks a bit like TK from Digimon series 2. But way cooler! He speaks in short sentences but what he says is really cool and the way he says it! Elly is the pink elephant, sometimes she's cool, others she can be a real drag. So there's mixed feelings about her but the idea rules.Patto is the Coach Z and he fits the awesomeness of Coach Z! Homestar runner fans will absolutely Love this duck! He can extend his neck, spin his beak and look totally awesome. him and Pocoyo go together like Apple and Pie! I want a Patto action figure! We don't really see much of Loula (Bo-Ya) or Sleepy bird (Did i miss her?) but there are loads of side characters you can enjoy to, like the aliens and whale. PLUS Pocoyo has his own Ballon powered helicopter! How awesome is that? Believe me, watch it and you'll love it best kids TV program ever, Sorry Thoamas The Tank Engine!
