At last a children's show that inspires their imaginations to new heights.The show is based on two brothers living in a house with doors (and drawers) that take them to all sorts of interesting and fantastic places as they solve the days quest. The viewers help control the show with an imaginary remote control which can do all sorts of amazing things. The brothers (David and Shane) interact with the incredibly flexible Mrs Foil, puppets, young children and imaginary characters to create a world where anything is possible. Even the narrator is priceless with unpredictable door knock policies and a cricket style replay commentary. Much of the show is visual humour that really gets a 'laugh out loud' reaction from the kids and they get a real kick out of fast-forwarding, rewinding and turning the characters upside down with the remote control.David and Shane have long been one of Australia's cleverest and funniest comedy acts(The Umbilical Brothers)and have been entertaining adult audiences for years. I was intrigued to see they were in a children's show but thought my 3½ year old son would not enjoy it as he only seems interested in animated stories. Was I wrong! He is not only glued from start to finish but interacts with the characters the whole way through. When it is over, he turns the TV off (that's never happened before!) and then plays games based on it for hours. He has always had a good imagination but this programme has taken it to whole new level and improved his vocabulary too. Best of all, it's a show we can enjoy together. We both have a really good laugh and then get to play 'remote control' all day. This is particularly handy in the evening as our remote has a 'have a bath' button and a 'go to bed button' (the 'sleep in a little later on Sunday' button is apparently broken, sadly). Congratulations to David, Shane, writers and crew on what has to be the most entertaining children's show ever!

Oh please tell me they are making more episodes of this wonderful show! My son is only 2 1/2 and loves watching them pretend, but I love it for the jokes they add for the adults. My favorite was the episode with the orange golf ball and they were yelling at it like Adam Sandler does in Happy Gilmore. I feel really good about letting my son watch this show because I know that he's learning while we are both being entertained. We watch this show on a channel called Noggin, which has a great selection of educational programs such as this one. Another favorite of ours on this channel is Jack's Big Music Show. Kids learn all about different kinds of music. It is similar to The Upside Down Show because it also has the characters talk to the camera while not talking down to the audience. I wish that more children's shows could be like The Upside Down Show and Jack's Big Music Show.

Absolutely one of the most creative shows I've seen for young children. As a father of 6yr and 3yr old boys it's refreshing to have a show like this on TV to offer them. As others mentioned I love that they don't talk down to kids, something my wife and I have always believed in. (A 3 year old can understand and say "pediatrician" as easy as "your doctor".) As a fan of "British" humor, I love watching the shows even if the kids aren't in the room! Shane & David throw in plenty of obscure references for the enjoyment of the parents. ("Feelings, nothing more than feelings.", Batman & Robin TV show acting, to name a couple.) I've been recommending this show to all my friends with kids.

I love this show! It's a FUN learning show! My daughter is 5, and I hated her watching shows like Billy and Mandy. A cartoon about a grim reaper is just wrong - no matter how old you are! Anyway, I wanted to find shows that would be fun and educational. Especially ones that would get her imagination going. The Upside Down show is fantastic! They ask you to push a button on your "remote" and funny things happen. They might turn horizontal, or pause.. maybe speed up or turn "upside down". I find myself pushing the buttons along with my little girl! (there's a printable "remote" on the upside show section of noggin.com. the kids can color it themselves).These guys are great. They don't talk to the kids like they're babies, and they're FUN while they teach. For example, waiting in line at the ice cream truck. The guys try to push their way forward, steal ice cream, climb in the truck.. but eventually they get their ice cream by waiting in line! My daughter and I love to sit together for this show. We both use our "remote" to help out Shane and David, and there's always something new to learn. It's a very creative show, that adults and kids can watch together!
