00:00:00
◼
►
hi everybody welcome back to top 4 it is
00:00:03
◼
►
rainy day edition of top 4 where we are
00:00:06
◼
►
going to be talking about kids shows
00:00:08
◼
►
that are not annoying to adults because
00:00:12
◼
►
we've been stuck inside with a lot of
00:00:14
◼
►
rain recently so we have been watching a
00:00:16
◼
►
lot more TV than we normally would in
00:00:19
◼
►
addition to doing things cuz I generally
00:00:22
◼
►
like TV or a movie or something to be on
00:00:25
◼
►
even while I'm doing a craft or activity
00:00:28
◼
►
so I've kind of trained my child to do
00:00:30
◼
►
the same thing which isn't always the
00:00:32
◼
►
best but I mean he's basically you but
00:00:34
◼
►
smaller I turned out fine right so he
00:00:38
◼
►
should be fine yeah we don't really
00:00:41
◼
►
limit screen time time in our house we
00:00:45
◼
►
just don't feel it necessary because our
00:00:47
◼
►
kid isn't very addicted to screens yeah
00:00:50
◼
►
he if there is a physical activity to do
00:00:53
◼
►
he would he almost always prefers that
00:00:55
◼
►
and fix that he's very much into
00:00:58
◼
►
movement and doing things outside and
00:01:00
◼
►
going to the park and everything else so
00:01:02
◼
►
when we're inside because of horrible
00:01:04
◼
►
weather or sickness or something else we
00:01:07
◼
►
don't really care about the limit of on
00:01:08
◼
►
TV yeah so that's where we're coming
00:01:10
◼
►
from I know a whole bunch of other
00:01:12
◼
►
people have different opinions and
00:01:14
◼
►
family dynamics and different children
00:01:16
◼
►
that will sit in front of a TV with
00:01:18
◼
►
their mouths gape for hours at a time
00:01:20
◼
►
and never move but so which is you know
00:01:24
◼
►
you have to do what you got to do when
00:01:25
◼
►
you have a kid like that and you every
00:01:28
◼
►
want to Jess but if you do have to sit
00:01:30
◼
►
inside and you do have to watch TV a lot
00:01:33
◼
►
of kids TV is terrible oh my god so bad
00:01:36
◼
►
yeah well I can't oh it's so boring or
00:01:40
◼
►
just terrible
00:01:43
◼
►
I just like my brain I feel like we've
00:01:45
◼
►
actually lucked out in that our son has
00:01:48
◼
►
not shown a really strong preference for
00:01:50
◼
►
anything that we consider horrible I
00:01:53
◼
►
mean and seen it you know like a lot of
00:01:56
◼
►
it is just like us not exposing him to
00:01:58
◼
►
it yet and yeah we're friends houses
00:02:00
◼
►
we're still curating his taste sure and
00:02:03
◼
►
we don't have television where we can
00:02:04
◼
►
like flip through channels or anything
00:02:06
◼
►
we are cord cutters as we've mentioned
00:02:08
◼
►
in other episodes I hate that it's so
00:02:11
◼
►
weird you know what other people love
00:02:13
◼
►
hearing from people who record cutters
00:02:15
◼
►
that's it's like humans dreams people
00:02:17
◼
►
love hearing us talk about that they do
00:02:19
◼
►
okay well they cut that out so we have
00:02:22
◼
►
just Netflix but there is a lot on there
00:02:25
◼
►
and any other streaming service things
00:02:27
◼
►
on Plex and everything so we have access
00:02:29
◼
►
to a lot of stuff so we're going to tell
00:02:32
◼
►
you wonderful adults out there what
00:02:35
◼
►
shows you can let your kids watch and
00:02:37
◼
►
not feel like your brain is dripping out
00:02:39
◼
►
of your ear so here we go number four
00:02:43
◼
►
picks what do you got mark oh I'm sure
00:02:45
◼
►
our lists are gonna be pretty similar
00:02:47
◼
►
because we are stuck in the same house
00:02:49
◼
►
yeah they're gonna have probably the
00:02:51
◼
►
same items maybe in a different order
00:02:52
◼
►
although this one I don't think it's
00:02:53
◼
►
gonna make your list my number four not
00:02:56
◼
►
for any of the reasons we just mentioned
00:02:57
◼
►
is mighty machines Oh my number four is
00:03:00
◼
►
mighty machines really yeah my reasoning
00:03:03
◼
►
which might be different from your like
00:03:04
◼
►
us is that I find mighty machines
00:03:06
◼
►
incredibly dull because it's so there's
00:03:10
◼
►
you know there's no real stories you
00:03:13
◼
►
know mining machines it for anyone not
00:03:14
◼
►
familiar it's just like footage of
00:03:17
◼
►
trucks and planes and stuff just doing
00:03:20
◼
►
work and it's it's voiced over by
00:03:23
◼
►
rhetoric yeah they also like john
00:03:25
◼
►
roderick but it's it's voiced over by
00:03:27
◼
►
just like you know these like funny
00:03:29
◼
►
voices done by adults to try to amuse
00:03:31
◼
►
kids you have to drop this down clip of
00:03:33
◼
►
John Rother a truck hi kids welcome to
00:03:36
◼
►
the forest I'm a feller buncher
00:03:40
◼
►
they call me feller for short as my job
00:03:43
◼
►
is to cut down trees but don't worry
00:03:45
◼
►
kids I don't cut all the trees just the
00:03:49
◼
►
ones that I need
00:03:51
◼
►
it's like hi kids Here I am working the
00:03:55
◼
►
sawmill or whatever and it's like it's
00:03:57
◼
►
it's really you know low production
00:04:00
◼
►
value it's it's perfectly fine for kids
00:04:05
◼
►
and a lot of kids love it but the
00:04:07
◼
►
advantage of mining machines as an adult
00:04:09
◼
►
if you are watching your kid is that it
00:04:11
◼
►
is an ideal show to allow you to sneak a
00:04:15
◼
►
little nap in on the couch while you're
00:04:16
◼
►
watching your kid it is good because it
00:04:18
◼
►
doesn't capture adults attention at all
00:04:20
◼
►
but it does capture kids attention
00:04:23
◼
►
really well so you can you can point
00:04:24
◼
►
your kid in front of the TV like if
00:04:26
◼
►
they're like you know eating a sandwich
00:04:27
◼
►
and you can take a 15 minute nap so
00:04:29
◼
►
mighty machines is perfect for that
00:04:30
◼
►
highly recommended
00:04:31
◼
►
I recommend mighty machines because it
00:04:34
◼
►
has diversity in that the male and
00:04:37
◼
►
female truck voices are arbitrary like
00:04:40
◼
►
there are boy trucks and there are girl
00:04:42
◼
►
trucks voice wise and nobody seems to be
00:04:46
◼
►
doing any kind of specific work like
00:04:48
◼
►
they don't really it's just a person's
00:04:50
◼
►
voice so that's pretty great and that's
00:04:53
◼
►
like hi kids I'm the snowplow and then
00:04:56
◼
►
the other truck there's like almost no
00:04:57
◼
►
plug to you know so it's exactly and but
00:05:03
◼
►
you do I like it because it's very very
00:05:06
◼
►
educational they learn a ton of stuff
00:05:09
◼
►
there's an episode about harvesters I
00:05:11
◼
►
didn't know how they harvested tomatoes
00:05:13
◼
►
and they show it and it's pretty awesome
00:05:15
◼
►
and Adam is like mommy tomatoes are
00:05:18
◼
►
harvested during the summer season and I
00:05:20
◼
►
was like yes it is we have the best
00:05:21
◼
►
tomatoes in the summer he's like well
00:05:23
◼
►
mighty machines told me that I'm like I
00:05:24
◼
►
know it's awesome so your kid will
00:05:28
◼
►
actually learn things I mean there's
00:05:30
◼
►
really cool recycling ones in a
00:05:33
◼
►
recycling plant so it's not just like
00:05:35
◼
►
trucks and machines it's also machines
00:05:37
◼
►
like conveyer belts and stuff so yeah um
00:05:41
◼
►
yeah they get pretty much a small
00:05:43
◼
►
education on the inner workings of
00:05:45
◼
►
things Oh giant tow trucks amazing you
00:05:48
◼
►
should totally see how they flip over an
00:05:50
◼
►
overturned tractor-trailer it's pretty
00:05:52
◼
►
pretty cool also building a truck I
00:05:55
◼
►
really like the paint robots they're
00:05:57
◼
►
super cute so yeah there's a lot to like
00:05:59
◼
►
you don't just have to fall asleep
00:06:01
◼
►
during it like Marco does but there's a
00:06:03
◼
►
lot going on mining machines
00:06:05
◼
►
holler out shout out to Canada thank you
00:06:07
◼
►
for producing this show because it is
00:06:10
◼
►
great I think you might like it more
00:06:11
◼
►
than Adam does I may be alright my
00:06:17
◼
►
number three is the old series the Magic
00:06:21
◼
►
and the Magic School Bus you know this
00:06:24
◼
►
is the one that was on like when a lot
00:06:25
◼
►
of us were kids in like I guess what the
00:06:27
◼
►
late 80s Early 90s maybe 90s yeah so
00:06:30
◼
►
it's you know it's it's basically you
00:06:33
◼
►
know cartoon series featuring a lot of
00:06:36
◼
►
like science and lessons and all framed
00:06:39
◼
►
around these adventures that the Magic
00:06:41
◼
►
School Bus has with miss Frizzle and her
00:06:43
◼
►
class and it's a Sun book yeah based on
00:06:46
◼
►
books and it's it's just a really good
00:06:48
◼
►
like science e kids adventure show the
00:06:52
◼
►
the information in it is pretty good it
00:06:54
◼
►
was pretty far ahead of its time in
00:06:56
◼
►
terms of diversity and equality and
00:06:59
◼
►
empowerment and acceptance of people and
00:07:02
◼
►
things and it's it seems like if it was
00:07:05
◼
►
if the animation style was a little more
00:07:08
◼
►
up-to-date and if it was widescreen you
00:07:10
◼
►
could mistake it for a modern show I
00:07:11
◼
►
have this show as my number two actually
00:07:14
◼
►
because I do
00:07:16
◼
►
diversity plus plus in this show there
00:07:18
◼
►
are kids of every type in ms Frizzles
00:07:20
◼
►
class also miss Frizzle is a female
00:07:23
◼
►
science teacher which I know that there
00:07:24
◼
►
are a lot of them out there but a lot of
00:07:26
◼
►
times women are not portrayed as being
00:07:27
◼
►
scientific and she is and she's leading
00:07:30
◼
►
the class there are also kids in
00:07:33
◼
►
wheelchairs that are not seen as
00:07:36
◼
►
incapable of doing anything in the show
00:07:39
◼
►
they just totally ignore that he is in a
00:07:41
◼
►
wheelchair and lets him do and try
00:07:44
◼
►
everything that all the other kids are
00:07:47
◼
►
trying so there's no discrimination
00:07:49
◼
►
whatsoever about that there's no focus
00:07:51
◼
►
on it but it is there it's it's just
00:07:53
◼
►
showing the normalcy of pretty much
00:07:55
◼
►
every gender body ability race it's just
00:08:00
◼
►
great there's also a line in it which I
00:08:03
◼
►
really love then one of the kids says oh
00:08:05
◼
►
we could try this with manpower and then
00:08:07
◼
►
one of the girls says don't you mean
00:08:09
◼
►
person power I think yes little girl yes
00:08:13
◼
►
that's awesome and I just I love that
00:08:15
◼
►
that is in there it's subtle it's it
00:08:17
◼
►
doesn't hit you over the head it's just
00:08:20
◼
►
class working together and and doing
00:08:24
◼
►
science experiments and learning about
00:08:27
◼
►
science e nature things the show is also
00:08:32
◼
►
it's kind of funny it's it's portrayed
00:08:34
◼
►
as when the when the show is over when
00:08:37
◼
►
an episode is over there's a producer of
00:08:40
◼
►
the show and it's like they take calls
00:08:42
◼
►
in from any it's pretty much like dinner
00:08:47
◼
►
moments yeah it's a totally comment it's
00:08:49
◼
►
it's they take calls from well actually
00:08:51
◼
►
people which are actually other kids so
00:08:54
◼
►
it's like well actually if you do
00:08:56
◼
►
fracked light in this way it wouldn't
00:08:58
◼
►
really create that and then the producer
00:09:00
◼
►
gets on the phone it's like well it is a
00:09:02
◼
►
TV show and we had to fudge this a
00:09:04
◼
►
little bit so it seemed a little bit you
00:09:06
◼
►
know could fit into our show but you're
00:09:08
◼
►
right it really does act like that in
00:09:10
◼
►
real science so it's kind of cool that
00:09:12
◼
►
they do was it they kind of just correct
00:09:16
◼
►
themselves yeah it's it's like a little
00:09:19
◼
►
likeyou no fictitious self-correction
00:09:20
◼
►
segment at the end but it's and you know
00:09:21
◼
►
most of the responses are like you know
00:09:23
◼
►
well that would have been really hard to
00:09:24
◼
►
show so we approximated it or like that
00:09:26
◼
►
wouldn't have fit into our time limit so
00:09:28
◼
►
we're sorry but like it but it's like
00:09:30
◼
►
they do a pretty good approximation most
00:09:32
◼
►
of the time they do they self correct
00:09:34
◼
►
they're you know there's simplifications
00:09:38
◼
►
yes they self correct they're
00:09:40
◼
►
simplifications of science techniques
00:09:42
◼
►
that they are trying to display which I
00:09:45
◼
►
find really great and really funny that
00:09:47
◼
►
they're not just like oh yeah there
00:09:49
◼
►
really is a Magic School Bus that
00:09:50
◼
►
shrinks and goes inside of people's
00:09:52
◼
►
bodies they also don't really shy away
00:09:55
◼
►
from a lot of stuff there was a episode
00:09:57
◼
►
about chickens and embryos growing and
00:10:01
◼
►
they didn't make it explicit but they
00:10:06
◼
►
were really honest about how a chicken
00:10:09
◼
►
and rooster make a fertilized egg and
00:10:13
◼
►
then how that egg grows and it's a it's
00:10:16
◼
►
pretty neat i I appreciated that and
00:10:19
◼
►
Adam doesn't find any of it weird and he
00:10:20
◼
►
tells me stuff often and it's me it's
00:10:24
◼
►
great we think it's a lot of information
00:10:26
◼
►
like the the the rate at which he
00:10:28
◼
►
absorbs information is pretty good for
00:10:30
◼
►
Magic School Bus like he learns a lot
00:10:31
◼
►
about nature and
00:10:34
◼
►
and the way things are on the world and
00:10:35
◼
►
it's pretty great yeah I really I really
00:10:37
◼
►
like as you can tell we both really like
00:10:39
◼
►
science and educational shows so I feel
00:10:41
◼
►
like when he is watching something he's
00:10:44
◼
►
absorbing some sort of learning from it
00:10:46
◼
►
yeah there's some value to it mm-hmm
00:10:48
◼
►
yeah so that's my number two it was only
00:10:51
◼
►
used for three yeah what was your number
00:10:52
◼
►
three out of curiosity my number three
00:10:54
◼
►
is another science show and it's Cat in
00:10:57
◼
►
the Hat knows a lot about that mm-hm I
00:10:59
◼
►
really love cat Matt I think again great
00:11:02
◼
►
diversity and it shows like the kids
00:11:05
◼
►
working together and being best friends
00:11:07
◼
►
and also it goes into science and even
00:11:11
◼
►
more than Magic School Bus but very
00:11:13
◼
►
similar premise in that the kids go on
00:11:15
◼
►
little magical adventures in order to
00:11:17
◼
►
discover things about the world when
00:11:19
◼
►
they have questions
00:11:20
◼
►
I feel like Cat in the Hat also goes it
00:11:25
◼
►
uses a lot of scientific terms it
00:11:26
◼
►
doesn't get afraid of like Adam busted
00:11:29
◼
►
out the words tardigrade you know like
00:11:31
◼
►
and he's like oh here's some moss
00:11:33
◼
►
tardigrades lived their cat in the hat'
00:11:34
◼
►
told me that I was like you don't say
00:11:37
◼
►
and I had to go look that up and see
00:11:39
◼
►
what it was and figured that out for
00:11:42
◼
►
myself but I tell that story all the
00:11:43
◼
►
time to all of our friends because I'm
00:11:45
◼
►
just amazed of the things that he comes
00:11:48
◼
►
out and says that are accurate and
00:11:50
◼
►
factual and the real scientific term for
00:11:53
◼
►
something and how it really works and he
00:11:56
◼
►
gets it from shows like Cat in the Hat
00:11:58
◼
►
and Magic School Bus
00:12:00
◼
►
so yeah Cat in the Hat is my number
00:12:02
◼
►
three I feel like if valleys Magic
00:12:05
◼
►
School Bus but I have a special place in
00:12:07
◼
►
my heart for miss Frizzle so see I also
00:12:09
◼
►
put Cat in the Hat
00:12:10
◼
►
as my number two ah so we had the same
00:12:13
◼
►
list just swapped a little bit down
00:12:14
◼
►
there because for many of the same
00:12:16
◼
►
reasons and we should clarify you know
00:12:18
◼
►
if you've only ever seen like old cat
00:12:20
◼
►
and they had things this is not that
00:12:21
◼
►
this is a it started in 2010 it's a PBS
00:12:24
◼
►
series it's still technically running a
00:12:27
◼
►
little the Wikipedia didn't have a lot
00:12:28
◼
►
of information passed about 2013 but
00:12:30
◼
►
it's it's a modern animated series
00:12:33
◼
►
little 30-minute chunks and it's very
00:12:35
◼
►
similar in the idea to mind your school
00:12:37
◼
►
bus where it's like it's a 30-minute
00:12:39
◼
►
animated adventure that the kids would
00:12:41
◼
►
go on with the Cat in the Hat and they
00:12:42
◼
►
go visit like different scientists and
00:12:44
◼
►
people who do things in the world and
00:12:46
◼
►
kind of learn about what
00:12:47
◼
►
and and it's it's pretty great I would
00:12:50
◼
►
say it is you know similarly charming as
00:12:55
◼
►
Magic School Bus I would say it is it's
00:12:57
◼
►
obviously more modern I'd say it's a
00:13:00
◼
►
little bit less adventure focused a
00:13:04
◼
►
little bit more on the science and info
00:13:05
◼
►
which I've which I kind of like so
00:13:08
◼
►
that's that's why I rent it higher was
00:13:09
◼
►
that it's like a little bit less crazy
00:13:11
◼
►
adventure stuff a little bit more like
00:13:13
◼
►
info it crammed into that time but
00:13:15
◼
►
otherwise it's it's a really good show
00:13:17
◼
►
and I and I totally agree that it should
00:13:19
◼
►
be on this list
00:13:20
◼
►

00:13:22

00:17:28
◼
►
the content but I'm very surprised of
00:17:31
◼
►
how we're matching up here me too
00:17:33
◼
►
yeah I I really did not think that my
00:17:35
◼
►
team issues with him in your list I
00:17:36
◼
►
thought it was like too like crappy
00:17:39
◼
►
machines because I love the John
00:17:41
◼
►
Roderick Roderick with log cutter yeah
00:17:48
◼
►
so yeah number one what is it I have
00:17:51
◼
►
handy manny yep me too okay I want to
00:17:55
◼
►
first start out with the - that I do not
00:17:58
◼
►
like about Handy Manny okay I can't
00:18:01
◼
►
stand the children's hands they are
00:18:03
◼
►
creepy and weird and two things okay I
00:18:08
◼
►
hate it it's so I can't even look at the
00:18:12
◼
►
kids hands because the kids okay so the
00:18:14
◼
►
animation style it's kind of like
00:18:15
◼
►
computer animated and they take to make
00:18:19
◼
►
the children in the town of Handy
00:18:21
◼
►
Manny's town that he works in if they
00:18:23
◼
►
like just shrink the adults and then
00:18:25
◼
►
leave the adult size hands they're
00:18:29
◼
►
monsters it's horrible but if you get
00:18:32
◼
►
past the hands oh my god everything else
00:18:35
◼
►
is really great the basis the premise of
00:18:38
◼
►
the show is a handyman that lives in
00:18:41
◼
►
this town they speak a lot of Spanish
00:18:43
◼
►
but what the way they do it is they say
00:18:46
◼
►
the Spanish word and then they say the
00:18:49
◼
►
English word I suspect that this show
00:18:51
◼
►
might have been created for
00:18:52
◼
►
spanish-speaking kids to learn English
00:18:54
◼
►
but it goes either way yeah it certainly
00:18:57
◼
►
seems like that was a major a major goal
00:18:59
◼
►
of it yeah but either way it doesn't you
00:19:01
◼
►
know it doesn't matter everyone is
00:19:02
◼
►
there's all different people in the town
00:19:04
◼
►
and yeah it's just it's a rip what I
00:19:08
◼
►
pushed it over the edge to me for number
00:19:10
◼
►
one and that it is educational the - I I
00:19:15
◼
►
can't get over those hands it's
00:19:17
◼
►
terrifying but I love the sarcastic
00:19:21
◼
►
mm-hm and I love that there is an
00:19:24
◼
►
element of romance I just I love that
00:19:26
◼
►
there's a little romance in this show it
00:19:28
◼
►
it makes me interested oh yeah and I
00:19:30
◼
►
know it would go over any kids head is
00:19:32
◼
►
Maddie and Kelly are they gonna get
00:19:33
◼
►
together mmm she always has what he
00:19:36
◼
►
oh it's so cute and then the last
00:19:37
◼
►
episode the last episode oh I won't even
00:19:40
◼
►
tell you you just got to see it they
00:19:42
◼
►
leave it on such a cliffhanger ah yep
00:19:45
◼
►
yep Kelly um Annie yeah yeah my my duo
00:19:49
◼
►
right there you gotta live for the
00:19:51
◼
►
little things when you're watching kids
00:19:52
◼
►
TV like what I like about handy manny is
00:19:55
◼
►
like you know it isn't as educational as
00:19:57
◼
►
katha had around your school buzz like
00:19:59
◼
►
it's it's a little bit lower than
00:20:00
◼
►
educational stuff but it's more about
00:20:02
◼
►
like stories and people and and you know
00:20:04
◼
►
there and there's a mix like his like
00:20:06
◼
►
manis tools are a mix of childlike and
00:20:11
◼
►
adult like characters and and so they
00:20:15
◼
►
they tackle issues of like like maybe
00:20:17
◼
►
the childlike ones might be afraid of
00:20:20
◼
►
something that they might have some kind
00:20:21
◼
►
of fear that they have they have they
00:20:22
◼
►
have to work through in one episode or
00:20:24
◼
►
they might have like you know made a a
00:20:26
◼
►
childlike mistake and the and the adult
00:20:29
◼
►
like ones have to like you know take
00:20:30
◼
►
them through that and have them work
00:20:32
◼
►
through it and you know maybe admit that
00:20:33
◼
►
they were wrong or they're having issues
00:20:35
◼
►
like telling the truth or or asking for
00:20:38
◼
►
help or whatever else and and it's it's
00:20:41
◼
►
done in a really I think good overall
00:20:46
◼
►
way that the way to healthy story then
00:20:47
◼
►
like there's a there's a somewhat
00:20:50
◼
►
vaguely similar show called Bob the
00:20:52
◼
►
Builder and I don't know Bob is garbage
00:20:54
◼
►
compared to right like I I think Bob the
00:20:57
◼
►
Builder is is a a way less successful
00:21:01
◼
►
attempt at a similar kind of thing or
00:21:03
◼
►
Bob the Builder like they have like
00:21:03
◼
►
these like childlike worker vehicles
00:21:07
◼
►
like you know like a bulldozer all I do
00:21:10
◼
►
is whine and complain I can't stand
00:21:13
◼
►
Bob's machines I don't know how he works
00:21:15
◼
►
with them yeah they just screw up
00:21:16
◼
►
constantly and suck at everything but
00:21:18
◼
►
like also Bob and Wendy they there is
00:21:21
◼
►
you can't you can't even hold a candle
00:21:23
◼
►
to Manny and Kelly's love not even close
00:21:27
◼
►
no way nope and so I feel like if Bob
00:21:29
◼
►
the Builder is like and and we watch
00:21:31
◼
►
that a lot of that too in case you can't
00:21:32
◼
►
tell because Adam was into that for a
00:21:33
◼
►
little while but handy manny is a way
00:21:36
◼
►
better implementation of similar ideas
00:21:39
◼
►
and themes and and the bee
00:21:41
◼
►
cause like there's a good mix of adult
00:21:44
◼
►
and childlike characters there's enough
00:21:46
◼
►
thrown in there for adults who have to
00:21:48
◼
►
be watching it with their kids that it's
00:21:50
◼
►
still entertaining I'd like as an adult
00:21:51
◼
►
watching it but it doesn't go over like
00:21:54
◼
►
but but like it doesn't bore the kids
00:21:56
◼
►
with the adult stuff it's just like a
00:21:57
◼
►
little remark here they're a little joke
00:21:58
◼
►
here they're like a little dynamic that
00:22:00
◼
►
that the kids wouldn't get so it's it's
00:22:02
◼
►
entertaining for adults it's really
00:22:04
◼
►
great for kids the kids seem to like it
00:22:05
◼
►
just as much as the adults do and it's
00:22:07
◼
►
it's just like it's a it's a uplifting
00:22:10
◼
►
kind of it's just a kind show it's kind
00:22:12
◼
►
it's about teamwork it's about working
00:22:14
◼
►
together it's about being accepting of
00:22:17
◼
►
all different people yeah but it doesn't
00:22:19
◼
►

hopeless and terrible all the machines
00:22:39
◼
►
the Scarecrow like half of the adults
00:22:43
◼
►
Bob I mean like it's well that's why I
00:22:45
◼
►
don't like things like Winnie the Pooh
00:22:46
◼
►
Winnie the Pooh like he's such a
00:22:48
◼
►
complainer like Oh everything's like
00:22:50

00:23:03
◼
►
they live it's so there's a lot of
00:23:05
◼
►
little clever name things going on with
00:23:07
◼
►
all the different character like
00:23:08
◼
►
contractor jokes a lot of contractor
00:23:11
◼
►
jokes it's really funny that Kelly who
00:23:13
◼
►
owns the hardware store always has
00:23:14
◼
►
everything that they would possibly need
00:23:16
◼
►
no matter how obscure and there's one
00:23:18
◼
►
particular screwdriver that's always
00:23:20
◼
►
like oh yeah I've caught it he's like of
00:23:23
◼
►
course Kelly has it like you know just
00:23:25
◼
►
he that there's a carrot you know
00:23:27
◼
►
characters that make the jokes that the
00:23:30
◼
►
adults watching would say to themselves
00:23:32
◼
►
but they actually say it out loud in the
00:23:35
◼
►
show and it's pretty funny
00:23:36
◼
►
so yeah handy manny I really like it
00:23:39
◼
►
it's a Nickelodeon show it's hard to get
00:23:42
◼
►
really it was I think it was Disney kids
00:23:43
◼
►
Oh No yes right snot thank know it's
00:23:45
◼
►
Nick jr. it's it's somewhere near it's
00:23:48
◼
►
very hard to get at what I ended up
00:23:50
◼
►
doing was I think I said of just bind
00:23:53
◼
►
them all on iTunes because
00:23:55
◼
►
yes she came for sale on iTunes but
00:23:57
◼
►
before that you can only we were trying
00:24:00
◼
►
to buy it on Amazon and you can only get
00:24:02
◼
►
two episodes per video it was a whole
00:24:04
◼
►
things really weird but iTunes has them
00:24:06
◼
►
all and they're they're arranged like in
00:24:08
◼
►
collections but if you go on Wikipedia
00:24:10
◼
►
and look at the episode titles you can
00:24:11
◼
►
cat you can see that it's just seasons
00:24:13
◼
►
and and so you can buy them all there
00:24:15
◼
►
and I ended up breaking all the DRM on
00:24:18
◼
►
them there's some crazy hack so that we
00:24:20
◼
►
could have them on our on our plex
00:24:21
◼
►
server so that we can always watch them
00:24:23
◼
►
even when the internet connection is
00:24:24
◼
►
down and we can bring them on trips
00:24:26
◼
►
easily and things like that because it's
00:24:28
◼
►
it's just it's such a good show and it's
00:24:30
◼
►
a good like standby we don't watch it
00:24:32
◼
►
that often which is good because of like
00:24:35
◼
►
every season we're watching a lot we
00:24:37
◼
►
watched it a lot we watched it like
00:24:39
◼
►
through like two times in a row all the
00:24:41
◼
►
way through that's true but and evident
00:24:43
◼
►
then like Adam kind of took a break for
00:24:44
◼
►
me yeah for a few months and then like
00:24:46
◼
►
so every so often like if the internet
00:24:49
◼
►
connection is out or something else and
00:24:50
◼
►
we can't watch anything else we'll put
00:24:51
◼
►
that on from the plex server and it's
00:24:53
◼
►
it's a nice like kind of standby so a
00:24:56
◼
►
really good show yeah if you haven't
00:24:57
◼
►
seen it yet highly recommended
00:24:59
◼
►
especially if you're into teaching your
00:25:02
◼
►
kid a little bit of Spanish which i
00:25:04
◼
►
think is super helpful and interesting
00:25:08
◼
►
for them to learn a new language or a
00:25:10
◼
►
little tiny bits of a new language at
00:25:12
◼
►
least in your household and yeah I don't
00:25:15
◼
►
mean I guess my I don't know if Adam
00:25:18
◼
►
really has grasped a lot of it though
00:25:20
◼
►
it's kind of hard to tell what ages it's
00:25:23
◼
►
for like it's definitely fine for super
00:25:25
◼
►
young kids like you know I'd say like
00:25:26
◼
►
two and up probably I don't know like
00:25:28
◼
►
what what would you consider like too
00:25:30
◼
►
old for it maybe like six might be too
00:25:33
◼
►
old for it but I think he could probably
00:25:35
◼
►
still watch it now at five and get some
00:25:37
◼
►
value out of the stories and stuff yeah
00:25:39
◼
►
I don't know the little puppies are cute
00:25:40
◼
►
yeah everything the show is super cute
00:25:43
◼
►
except for the children they are
