The Doodlebops

Pros: I don't have children who will beg me to watch this
Cons: far too many to list

Over the years I have pondered what would happen if Benita Bizarre finally caught up to the kooky crazy Bugaloos and took them down with an industrial sized can of RAID. The other day Pippa told me to tune into a new show on Playhouse Disney ...

Pros: They made me a big fan of the Wiggles
Cons: Just a horrible show all around. Quite creepy, really.

Disclaimer: Before I begin my epinion, I have to admit, I’m not a huge fan of the television. I tend to be incredibly picky about the shows my kids watch so I may be a bit more biased in my review. My daughter is almost two and because of her ...

Pros: I got a good giggle
Cons: utterly frightening

Yesterday morning, Beanie and I were trapped in the house while Bug took an unscheduled morning nap. She was happily reading a book but asked for the television on, and since I knew we'd be outside, I obliged with Playhouse Disney. Well, I wasn't ...

Pros: Fun danceable music, positive messages for kids.
Cons: The talking wig-stands are really creepy, and I'm not crazy about the talking moosehead either.

My 3yo daughter and I just started watching the Doodlebops, and we both enjoy the show. I like how it exposes kids to different styles of music (doo-wop, jazz, even some opera), the choreography is a lot of fun to try to recreate in the living room, and ...

Pros: Great music! Lot's of fun for young children.
Cons: Moe pulling the rope, and the lip sync being off sometimes.

I have a 2 and 1/2 year old that LOVES the show, and I do not see one thing wrong with that. Most of the reviews I've read over the past few weeks on different sites have been so negative. The adults writing the reviews all seem to HATE the show. ...

Pros: Catchy tunes, positive messages, children enjoy it
Cons: Horrible costume and set design

I have watched the show and flipflop on whether I like it or not. I have also read the other reviews and think that some are really over the top against it. The characters don't act gay, they just have REALLY bad costumes and act silly. I didn't ...

Pros: My daughter is not attached to watching them like she is the Wiggles.
Cons: Terrible fashion sense, campy, overacting, stereotypically gay, and just plain uncreative.

I think the programmers at Playhouse Disney must have been bribed or given hallucinogenic drugs in order to put this show on. Everything they do is like a ripoff of the Wiggles, and way overdone: look at the phoney clown hands, the plastic hair and ...

Pros: ......A good reminder to turn the TV off and read a book!
Cons: 15 words isn't enough - everything is a con!

I heard of the Doodlebops before I saw them, so I was prepared for an annoying show. And it delivered! But I was not prepared for just how bizarre it was. What ARE they? I was glad to read here that I was not the only person actually creeped out by ...

Pros: Funny to watch, Regular people looking to make children happy, and ALOT of talent!
Cons: Not on enough, only tour in Canada

I have a 1 1/2 year old daughter and she LOVES the Doodlebops! As a matter of fact, I even found myself googling them to find out more about them. Deedee, WOW, what a voice on her! I think she is adorable, even her giggle is cute. Rooney, well, he does ...

Pros: Positive, colourful, repetitive.
Cons: Its on at the same time here as sesame street. Bye bye sesame.

I have been looking at many of the reviews here with some amusement and head shaking... The Doodlebops are fictional characters in a show aimed at kids up to age 5. So a lot of adults write reviews based on their grown up notions of what is good and ...

Pros: I know not to watch it again
Cons: The opening, the ending, and everything in between

All the 1-star reviews have done a fabulous job of describing this sub-basement show so I won't go into the utterly insipid quality of this lame, poorly produced piece of junk that Disney is marketing to sell a bunch of cheap DVDs and CDs here in the US. ...

Pros: Healthy childhood musical/dance imagination
Cons: The "boys" in the band are a little too light in the loafers

Every kid loved the Bay City Rollers if you grew up in the early 70's. Since then, no one has really stepped up to do another program like that. The Doodlebops are the one's who've come closest in a long time to do the "kid rock star" show. Beats American Idol that's for sure.
Now all we need is a new "Banana Split," "H.R. Puffinstuf," or "New Zoo Review." Nostalgia helps here but, when you really think about it, because of a lot of "our" programming back then, we turned out all right. I hope we all want the same for our kids.
The imaginary rock/pop kid music is so healthy for the creative process. Weather they're dressed up ridiculously through adult eyes, every child who watches The Doodlebops is riddled with color and imagination.
I just wish Lisa Lennox would change her name. If you Google search her, a porn star shows up.

Pros: The actors have great enthusiasm for what they are doing that shows to my child.
Cons: I have to listen to the CD 24/7 and now I'm singing along!

My son is 4 and we've just recently began to watch. We first took him to his first concert and it was really a rock concert. He loved it so much that he's hooked now. My husband and I even had a good time. I think all these parents that are writing bad reviews should remember what they watched on TV when they were this age. It's no worse than the Banana splits, come on bad monkey costumes were pretty scary and Bugs Bunny always going after the coyote and this was what we loved! At least the Doodlebops aren't teaching violence like the shows I remember. Not only that, but The Doodlebops actually can sing! My son sings along to all their music and he's learning how to be a part of a special group by reciting the Doodlebop pledge when he watches the show. There is nothing bad about them, it's great just the way it is!

Pros: Love the music, dancing and interaction with the audience
Cons: Can't think of any

I discovered this show just recently and are as entertained by it as my grandchildren. We even set our TV so we don't miss any episodes. I think it is on 3 or 4 times a day here in Ohio and we watch all of them, over and over. Can't wait for a CD or Video to come out with them. Mammaw (Grandma) and her grandchildren sing and dance around the room and thoroughly enjoy ourselves. Go Doodlebops!! We all know the pledge, the words to the songs and the movements. By the way, my grandchildren are 3, 6 and 12. My age is a lot older, but I'm not that old, that I can't laugh and have fun with this show also.

Pros: The tunes have a positive message.
Cons: There is no clear storyline or any valuable dialogue.

I cannot believe this horrible program made it's way onto the Disney channel, among truly wonderful programming! There are no clear storylines on any of the Doodlebops shows I've seen. There also is no meaningful dialogue between the characters. Although the tunes are catchy and the lyrics are positive, the songs don't fit into any recognizable plot. I'm always left feeling confused about what I've just watched. I don't know a soul who actually likes the program, so I know I'm not alone with my opinion.
