Synopsis

Postcards from Buster centers on Buster traveling to various places around North America, usually in the United States but also in the Caribbean, Canada – and other places – with his father, who is a pilot for a group of musicians. In each episode Buster meets children in the location, who show him aspects of their family lives and local culture. The sequences with Buster are animated, while the portions featuring the children are live action (viewed from the viewpoint of Buster's video camcorder). After each trip, Buster sends to Arthur a "video postcard" videotape summarizing what he's done and who he's met in each location. The children and their families that are presented on the series are meant to be multicultural and diverse, and range from a Mormon family in Utah to a Mestizo family in Texas.

TheCartoonfaxuator Postcards from buster is a spin off cartoon of the very well-known cartoon series Arthur. The show was shown during the time Buster went on a long vacation with his dad. I must say Buster must have been having a good time, but for the viewer I'm for sure wasn't. Postcards from Buster is the most boring cartoon PBS has ever made. The main reason is because the show points to kids of the age of 8 to 12, but the thing is that only adults understand the show. It's just too boring to entertain and educate a kid about the world. What I'm about to say may sound like an exaggeration, but trust me it's a fact. The first time I watched this show I was forced by my mother, and after I watched it, I told my sister it was the most boring thing I have ever watched. At first she thought I was complaining because I had to watch it, then I told her to watch it with me the next day, and she agreed. Really quick fact, I was only 9 when I saw this and my sister was 15. just wanted to let you know. So the two of us watched the next day, and within the first three minutes, we agreed that this was a horribly boring show. With my sister's help we were able to convince my mother to spare me from watching Postcards from Buster ever again. Word to the wise, just because there is something on the TV that can entertain and educate a kid doesn't mean it's doing the right job.
mpcohen I do not know how well this show goes over with its intended audience, but as an adult I am impressed by how it is put together. The premise of the show is of an animated rabbit traveling around the world with his father getting to know children and their families and taking videos. I do not know how much of the show is scripted, but it comes across as being a spontaneous interaction of the people being filmed with Buster and with one another. Sort of like a cross between a travelogue and reality TV for kids, with everyone being nice to one another.One small thing that I find disconcerting is that while Buster is more or less given the face of a rabbit, the rest of his family look like humans with rabbit ears appended.
MichaelaTrutt Love it, love it, love it. Ahem, or rather I love a certain person, whom wears a *very* fashionable outfit of red and black.... (no comment). It is very informative, I love the songs, and everything Pbs does, anything Marc Brown does, anything with Elyzabeth Diaga or (especially) Norman Groulx and Marcel Jeanin in it, is perfectly genius. I don't know what else to say, this humorous, slightly...gay, creative show shows Americans at their best (which is an honorable feat, since America doesn't seem to have a best lately)and inspires children of all ages-take me I'm 20- to do their best. The website is wittily handled, and is very helpful for parents, and fun for children. If you ask any one of my friends, you'll know I'm extremely obsessed, and won't shut up about... ahem. If the red/black thing didn't give you a hint, here's another: Married to a blue shirt/black mini that barely covers her.....Anyways, PFB is a funny, cute, *hot*, show that should help kids with geography, culture, and corny jokes. Warning!: If your child starts walking around singing, thank Carlos (ahem) and Mora. However, do not be alarmed, because your children WILL pass the history sol's and will know their way around New York.
bumpy5132 I started to watch this the other day for the whole episode,but then I didn't like it at all.I mean sure it's educational by having the main character,Buster,going places around the world and tell the viewers about the things he learned and stuff.But you know,you could get those things from traveling show,and it would still be a whole lot better than this show.Postcards from Buster is about a rabbit that goes on a summer vacation with his rabbit dad,and he goes around filming people and learn about their culture,friends,and family.It's a two part show:when there are no real people around,the scene would be animated,but if Buster is filming real people,the whole show would be real scenes.The show is pretty annoying,it is very childish.When Buster film people,the show would turn into real,and you never see the animated characters when the show is real.Plus,whenever Buster goes meeting someone new,they would just invite him to their house,then either they will take him somewhere or they would give him their stuff.It's like Buster's freeloading off everyone he meets and that's very rude.I don't like the way the people treats Buster,it's not the way the people in the real world treat each other,because the people in PFB always treat Buster like his best friend in the first day they met,and that is really unrealistic(not counting the animated-switching-to-real part of the show).So pretty much,all I want to say is,this show might be interesting to little kids like Barney.But to the adults,it can get very boring very quickly after the first 5 episodes.
