Synopsis

Maya & Miguel is a children's television animated series for children aged 6–12 produced by Scholastic Studios. It appears on PBS as part of the PBS Kids Go! lineup and on the CBBC channel in the UK. On September 10, 2011, it started airing on Univision every Saturdays mornings on the block Planeta U. However, as of September 28, 2013, it was removed from the Univision block, Planeta U's Saturday morning lineup for a timeshot replacement for The Jungle Book. The Spanish version is "Maya y Miguel". The show ran from October 11, 2004 to October 10, 2007. Centering around the lives of pre-teen Hispanic twins named Maya and Miguel Santos and their friends, the program is aimed at promoting multiculturalism and education in general. It is geared to the 5-9 age range. Part of the dialogue in each episode in the English version is in Spanish but only individual words or phrases which are explained in English. The program features well-known voice talent, including Candi Milo, Nika Frost, Erik Estrada, Lucy Liu, Carlos Ponce and Elizabeth Peña. The TV show is close captioned by the National Captioning Institute when seen on PBS Kids in the USA like Sesame Street, Dragon Tales and Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Reviews

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Omoniyi Adenusi I do not understand why people hate this great show. I watched this show on KLCS all the time. I didn't even notice that many people hate the show until October 6, last year. The haters just PISS ME OFF! People keep saying it's a rip-off of other shows, such as The Magic School Bus. How is it a rip-off of that show? Maya and Miguel go to school, but they don't have a bus that can transform! There is also 1 user that made a 10-star review that said that it is a great show (oliversquidditchbabe), and the other users say that it is bad. Also, people say that it is annoying and it sucks. Also, it got a LOT of people who rated it 1 star. People also hate Maya, because she butts into other people's business.If any of you haters are reading this review, I would like to say this to all of you: IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY ABOUT MAYA & MIGUEL, DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!
blbbg1 What do Barney, Dora The Explorer, and Teletubbies all have in common? They're insultingly bad. One show, however and it's a mostly forgotten one; Maya and Miguel is so laughably bad that it could even be shown on MST3K/RiffTrax. Think of this as the slightly more bearable version of Dora The Explorer. Still, M&M wasn't a great show, but it wasn't a pile of dreck like Barney or Dora. It's a nice show to watch, to only make fun of it. This show no longer airs on PBS Kids and it hasn't since 2012 but if you want to riff this MST3K-style, go ahead. At least this isn't "Dora The Explorer" levels of bad, just "So bad it's laughably bad". At least the twins look okay for 10-year old Latino/Latina kids.
creatorofgoofwars Once you've seen one episode "Maya & Miguel", you've seen them all. Maya goes overboard and Miguel has to fish her out of whatever mess she's gotten herself (and others) into.However, there a few episodes that show that the show may have potential if they would ditch that stupid bird. I've never seen a children's show turn to their pet as much as they've turned to this annoying bird. I actually believe their character's may have enough to hold the show on their own if the writers would just let them. Also I know the show is called "Maya & Miguel", but why not let their friends have the spotlight a little more often? "Arthur" has many episodes that don't even star him, and his friends have proved to be just as interesting (or even more so then) as him. I will not give this show a completely awful rating cause I do believe that they could actually produce a good episode if they thought outside the box.
ian-1211 I watched about one episode and got bored! I thought "Hmmm, who would watch that? What's the target audience?". It looked cheaply made and has the most annoying theme song ever!!!! Beside all that, the characters are lame, the stories are as boring as hell and jokes are copied from other shows. I have just worked out the idea of it, it is trying to promote multiculturalism because the characters look like they're from Spain, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil or Portugal or somewhere like that. They supposed to speak Spanish. Here is a news flash: I hardly speak any Spanish (French is what I'm good at!) and I can easily watch a day in the life of a Spaniard video other than this. If you want to make a programme aiming to promote multi-culture, try making it a bit more entertaining! It just far too educational, dull and dreary! Anyhow, I feel quite sorry for the production team behind the garbage; this must be a total career killer for them. This show is just another complete and utter television channel switchover. This is my final verdict for this show: "Cette Nulle", that's French for "This sucks!" 3/10
