My 2 year old is hooked on Dragon Tales (along with Blue's Clues). I really don't get exactly why. Visually, it's not that appealing. He's 2, so the storyline isn't relevant. Maybe it's a color scheme? I think the stories and general message of the show are great. Hopefully it will have some value to him if he is still into the show in a year or so. I do know this...he sits through the entire episode. Occasionally he will laugh. The other night we were watching the tape when the kid in the cartoon, Max, is trying to bang notes on a toy xylophone with some flowers!?! They then shatter (for no apparent reason). My kid cracks up, full belly laugh with tears in his eyes. I'm laughing with my kid while he is enjoying himself over this weird, somewhat unfunny scene. I have to say that I would have laughed at this on my own because it was odd that fresh cut flowers would shatter (with full glass shatter sound effects). Anyway, if the kid likes it, I like it. Positive stories. A little weird and a little lame for adults but let the kids decide what they like. Think of the stuff we made OUR parents sit through....oh ya, pal...it's payback :) Tbone
