My son loves watching the Boohbas dance, and he thoroughly enjoys story people time. However, whenever the "Look What I Can Do" portion of the show starts, he becomes instantly bored and either leaves the room or starts crying. When we're watching Boohbah on TiVo, we always have to click past that part. Well the beauty of this DVD is that none of the three episodes on it have the "Look What I Can Do" part! Instead, it's included on the disc as a separate bonus feature. Better yet is the fact that there's a "Play All" option which plays each of the three episodes in succession, which is even more convenient than TiVo, and makes this disc wonderful for long trips in the car or on the plane if you've got a portable DVD player. I just ordered the other Boohbah DVD today!

My son is only 13 months old and Boobah is definetly his favorite cartoon, even knowing he is way below the age defined for this show: 3-6 years old. Boobahs are supposed to be atoms of energy, but I rather call them weird-looking-but-cute-things. I like that they incorporated the "Storypeople", who are people with familiar "names" like Grandmama, Grandpapa, Brother, Sister, Mr Man...
I also recommend parents to check out the pbskids.org website, where they have plenty of info on the Boobahs, especially the section for parents and teachers, where they explain who the Boobahs are and why our children can benefit from it.
My son loves the show and I do recommend the DVDs as well. He will probably get one of the other titles for Xmas this year.

I think the boohbah's are a bit bizarre, but friends in England recomended it so we gave it a try. My 18 month old is not into TV but he loves some Baby Einstein, Teletubbies and this. He even requests 'Bah-boo' if I turn on the TV. I like it because he mimics the movements the Boohbahs do and tries to copy the kids in the 'look what I can do!' segment. It is really good for his coordination. He's also started saying 'Look what I can do' when he's showing off spinning or at the playground.

My 2 year old daughter is an avid fan of Teletubbies, so when Boohbah came out, we tried it out and she loved it too. It gets her dancing and moving!! Kids today are raised on junk for the most part but these shows, from the Teletubbie creators are great, educational, Boohbah especially teaches speech and movement and also has characters that she can relate to... grandma, grandpa, auntie, brother and sister, etc.
Get this Video!!! Your child will be really entertained!!

My daughter has been crazy for Boohbah since she was 3 months old. The came upon it accidentaly right during the opening scenes and she was glued to the tv. At first we weren't too sure about it, but when I read what the show was all about I am a fan now too. She is 8 mos old now and loves all of the bright colors and activities they do! It's so great to see her get excited over it and to have the opportunity to do chores while knowing she is watching a good show. They moved it to being on really late at night so now I want all the dvd's.

Boohbahs are strange, I dare say even creepy looking...to ME. My toddler, on the other hand, LOVES them. They are these little globs of energy that dance and do silly routines, make funny sounds, and spread happy energy to children all over the world. It encourages physical activity by imitation of the boohbahs themselves, and of the children in the "look what I can do" portion. Then there are the comical skits with "Grandma ma, Grandpa pa, Brother and Sister, Mr. Lady, Mr. Man, Auntie and little dog Fido". What a hoot! This may be strange-looking stuff to us adults, but through a toddlers eyes, it's pure fun.

My 2 year old twins love Booh-Bah and especially this episode. They find the humor in the strong willed little dog that persists in sitting in the Comfy Armchair. The simpleness of the storyline entertains them. The love the color and the movement.

The cousins of the teletubbies look quite like male genitilia and one dosent know if you are amazed or horrified. I have to say that when my daughter goes into a behavior this tv show will 90% assist in cooling her down. I recomend it. Even throw a party with your adult friends and have it the background.

the boohbahs are the essence of pure evil themselves. they are bent on world domination and mass destruction! do not let your child watch this. my mom saw ONE episode and literally said we weren't allowed to watch it. i am so grateful she did, because, believe me, the boobahs want to controll your child's mind!!! and don't even get me started about "gran-ma-ma" and that digusting "little dog fido"!!!!! if you look at all the storypeople, you will realize that there is NO "mom" or "dad"! what's wrong with this picture here?!?!?!

in conclusion, boobahs will give your kids nightmares, i don't like them, and neither should you.

Oh my gosh! I saw this on tv once, before, and it was even worse than the TELETUBBIES! This newest generation of kids is living off junk.
