Cons: Not on enough, only tour in Canada
Summary: 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 ... read more

Nov 28 '06
Pros: Positive, colourful, repetitive.
Cons: Its on at the same time here as sesame street. Bye bye sesame.
Summary: 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 ... read more

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

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.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Sep 16 '05
Pros: Catchy tunes, positive messages, children enjoy it
Cons: Horrible costume and set design
Summary: 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 ... read more

Aug 09 '05
Pros: I know not to watch it again
Cons: The opening, the ending, and everything in between
Summary: 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. ... read more

May 05 '05
Pros: ......A good reminder to turn the TV off and read a book!
Cons: 15 words isn't enough - everything is a con!
Summary: 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 ... read more

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

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

Pros: I got a good giggle
Cons: utterly frightening

-
Jun 20 '05
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.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Nov 08 '05
Pros: Great vocals,perfect interaction with each other on stage.They're obviously experienced.
Cons: Rooney's lovely baritone voice may not fit in a kids performance. Eliminate jumps and leaps.
Summary: I happen to LOVE watching the Doodlebops and I find them not only refreshing, but a great tribute to Canada's leg-up on the U.S.'s performing arts talent. The costumes are certainly unique and I take issue with one reviewer who claims Rooney Doodle

Oct 11 '05
Pros: Creative singing and dancing, costumes, facial expressions sets and film editing.
Cons: You are required to write something negative even if you do not feel negatively.
Summary: Exceptional music, very entertaining dancing and three characters that are, if nothing else, creative. They really have the facial expressions and ideas down for how to appeal to the under five set. True, there are some dumb bits, but nothing as lame as

Pros: Great for young kids to learn new things
Cons: Cant think of one
Summary: I'm a mom of 2 young children, my son loves the Doodlebops, he gets upset when we miss the show because we had things to do. At 1st he didn't like it and neither did I. But now we cant wait for the CD and DVD to come out later this month. All because of

Sep 16 '05
Pros: Great show that teaches and entertains
Cons: As the adult, you'll start humming the songs too!
Summary: My daycare kids love this show! They all beg to watch the Doodlebops so they can dance to the music. One little boy acts out Moe by dumping toys on his head and says "Refreshing"! The music is much better than Barney's music. Each day the show has a

Sep 13 '05
Pros: Colorful, Educational, Fun
Cons: Need a better website.

Cons: Moe not listening re: the rope, the two talking heads on the table
Summary: I have to say that when Playhouse Disney first aired the Doodlebops in the previous Wiggles time slot and I got a first glimpse I hated them. Now a few months into the show, my 15 month old loves the show and I would much rather have her watch the

Pros: Talented, entertaining, daughter's favorite show, positive.
Cons: Does not play enough!

Pros: Great singers/dancers, good content, wild and fun costumes, I think helps broaden creativity!!
Cons: No CD/DVD available. No shows touring the US at this time.
Summary: I agree this is a KIDS show and the content is fitting. What do their costumes have to do with if the kids should watch it or not? My 2 1/2 yr old and I love The Doodlebops. She watches it every morning before we leave for our day. She sings and

Jul 11 '05
Pros: The singing quality and the music.
Cons: The fingers....hmmmmm
Summary: Children's show singers that can actually sing! Think about how bad the singing is on most children's TV shows like Barney, The Wiggles, The Big Comfy Couch. I primarily listen to rock music and I'm glad there is at least one show I can watch with my 2

Jul 06 '05
Pros: Love the music, dancing and interaction with the audience
Cons: Can't think of any
Summary: 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

Pros: Repetitive, short 20 minute show, same format each time
Cons: Not long enough to get more housework done when I am watching and dancing too!

May 23 '05
Pros: Bright, cheerful, bouncy, catchy tunes
Cons: Not rocket science

Cons: Getting past their costumes

May 05 '05
Pros: Pre-schoolers and parents can enjoy it together. Great Show!
Cons: might cause parent weight loss from those adorable dance moves.
Summary: I first saw the show about a week ago with my 2 year old daughter. She wiggled and giggled through the entire episode. The following day, my three year old had the same reaction. Now we find ourselves doing the wobbily-wopsy while waiting for the school

Cons: The cat needs therapy and the songs stay with me ALL day!!!!

Sep 25 '05
Pros: Silly, non-violent fun for the toddler set.
Cons: too few episodes, lack of new songs and live show in the States.
Summary: A good, silly show that my 27 month old daughter has liked for the last 5 months. I am a little more than disturbed by some of the reviewer's comments about the "lisp" issue. What is confusing to me is that adults are condemning the way someone speaks.

Aug 15 '05
Pros: Healthy childhood musical/dance imagination
Cons: The "boys" in the band are a little too light in the loafers
Summary: 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

Cons: Do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do! The theme song is stuck in my head.
Summary: I initially found them a tad creepy, but my son immediately fell in love with them. They're colorful and happy and they sing songs and "rock out" in a way that a three year-old can appreciate. He remembers their songs and sings them all day

Pros: It fills up 30 minutes of air time for disneys producers.
Cons: Too many to list.
Summary: When I first watched the doodlebops with my kids, I asked myself if Disney was serious when they put it on the air. I figured they gave them a shot and would soon pull it off since it was poorly produced, used the worst stage set, and even attempted to

Nov 22 '05
Pros: The range of music that they try to represent is cool... in theory.
Cons: Poorly produced, terrible songs, creepy characters, no chemistry between the actors.
Summary: As a Canadian, I feel moved to apologize for whatever madness caused my country to unleash The Doodlebops. My 2-year-old daughter is enthralled, and her father, a musician, is horrified. I get the sense that after a taping the actors take off their wigs
-
Jun 28 '05
Pros: Makes me want to leave for work early
Cons: Makes me want to drive into a wall
Summary: Disturbing, really. The costumes, the voices, the "skits." Really, this show makes me glad to have DVR- I'll record something like the Zaboomafu and let my toddler check that out during breakfast. What really stinks is they changed the time- to the

Jun 15 '05
Pros: none
Cons: Too many to list

Cons: See above. I wouldn't subject my child to this show, ever again.
Summary: I was sort of excited about the Doodlebops because my Son (16 mos) loves music. I tried to like it - sincerely I did. What I have found is that the actors over-act, are campy and prance around like a bunch of High School theater majors. The costumes

May 11 '05
Pros: The tunes have a positive message.
Cons: There is no clear storyline or any valuable dialogue.
Summary: 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.

Pros: I am spending more time outdoors!
Cons: The FINGERS! What is with the characters' fingers?
