SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
N R This is the most unique and engaging show my kids and I have ever seen. I don't let my kids watch much on TV but they can watch this show as many times as they like. My oldest son watched it as a small child and now that he's a teenager I catch him watching with his youngest brother and still laughing at the shenanigans. I feel no shame in admitting I enjoy it as well. What is a shame is that only 13 episodes were ever made. The writing and acting are both as creative and clever as it gets. It's not about learning ABCs or counting but it's teaching kids to think outside the box, problem-solve, and use their imaginations to the fullest. It is interactive and it features children of all sizes, skin tones and abilities. It seems every aspect of this show was carefully crafted by early learning experts who also happen to be hilarious and clever comedians. If you are looking for a show for your children (or heck, even yourself) that promotes creative thinking and the kind of play that doesn't involve gadgets, you've found it.
cantmissamy My 5 year old son, just loves your show. You seem to make a way to make each child in your audience feel they are special. I love the way that my child can not only use his imagination but his mind as well. Not only does he get your jokes, but I do as well. Your show is the one that I do not mind having on. My son just gets a kick the way you use the remote and interacts with him. He really laughs out loud the way you goto other rooms and is surprised with each one you goto. He does not have a favorite among you, as he loves you both. Thank you so much for such a wonderful show. I look forward to seeing more of it and seeing you expanding the many characters you have.
queen_of_anarchy Shane and David were well known to our family as the Umbilical Brothers - my two boys (now 14 & 16) absolutely adore them. When my younger son learned that they wanted to shoot an episode of a new children's show with his Brass Band he was ecstatic. Unfortunately the show first came to cable in Australia but has just started showing on the ABC at 8am and next Monday, 29th October 2007, will air "Marching Band". Both my sons were involved (although the older one just pretends to play the trumpet) & we are waiting, excitedly, for it to come on. I remember the day they filmed it was overcast and windy and that everyone's hats kept blowing off. But I didn't watch the filming - just dropped them off at the park then picked them back up again - so I'm really looking forward to next Monday morning.
Corine Mrsich 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.
