Peppa Pig is very charming and funny. I like the crudely drawn characters. Their heads resemble the depictions of "puds" which we used to draw on desks at school.
The only negative is that Daddy pig is portrayed as a fat idiot. He pretty much always messes up every project he takes on and his whole family mock him for this, as well as for being fat. In all the episodes I've seen, which are many, Mummy pig has only messed up once. That was when she was trying to get a hat out of a tree on a windy day.
No reference to Mummy's prodigious girth is ever made. This is a good thing I suppose, because God forbid a toddler should emulate that behaviour and have to take The consequences. The poor little blighters don't deserve that.
It's unfair to single out Peppa Pig for this criticism really, it's pretty much ubiquitous in the treatment of male characters on TV and indeed of fathers in real life. So all in all, Peppa Pig is excellent entertainment and useful for socialising your toddler into the world as it exists now.
