There are many things wrong with his show, the things that are most important to me are Dora going out by herself, and that anyone she comes across who is bad can easily be turned good.
Dora has complete control on where she goes and how long it takes her, and any danger she comes across is handled with a smile and show-tunes. This gives a false reality of the world. It also tells kids they don't need their parents at the age of five, my daughters 3 yo and its getting harder to have her hold my hand crossing the street without Dora's influence.
The worst thing is kids think everyone is friendly. It teaches them to talk to strangers and trust people they don't know. I know people who spend a good amount of time explaining why their kids should talk to strangers, and my friend is having a harder time because "but Dora does it."
If you don't want your kid to have bad habits, avoid Dora like the plague.
