This show was my childhood. I learned many life lessons from it that other shows could never teach. There were things in this show that no other kids show had.I really can't say much more without spoiling it. I recommend this show over *almost every other kids show that is out there currently airing. Its old but gold. A show like no other that I will never forget, no matter how old I get.*there are some good kids shows out there currently airing, but many are really bad or just show the same things 5 other shows maybe showing just with in different way.

Where do I start with Maggie And The Ferocious Beast? Well for one thing, I grew up on it. But don't think I'm just looking at this show through the rosy glasses of nostalgia. Maggie is constantly adventurous, Hamilton is hilariously anxious and finicky, and the titular beast is funny. In all honesty, even as a kid I never understood why the show was called Maggie And The Ferocious Beast since the beast isn't the least bit ferocious. Granted, the beast is Maggie's imaginary friend and she named him and the title is quite catchy. The theme song is also very catchy (Maggie and the Ferocious Beast in Nowhere Land, come along if you can, and the plot should be familiar to anyone who has ever possessed an imagination. Maggie, Beast, and Hamilton explore a place called Nowhere Land, each day traveling to a new place on Maggie's map. Even if the nostalgia factor wasn't there, there would be so much that I would like about the show. I don't have any kids but if I did I would much rather have them emulate Maggie than say iCarly. For the past several years, I've been introducing my childhood movies/shows to the kids I nanny for.Simply put, what a great show for all ages!

My daughter, age 4, and i, age 40, have a date every weekday at 11:30 for lunch with Maggie and the Ferocious Beast. I cannot say how many times my heart is warmed by the interaction of the 3 characters listed, not to mention the new, fabulous characters that have been added since the original shows. Everything is make-believe of the most wonderful kind. It takes one to a place where one would love to roam. I find my daughter and i belly laughing often. It is well written, the animation is vibrant and perfectly simple, and this is a MUST SEE. My hope is that it remains on the air for years to come; it is as worthy as Pooh. Check it out.

I never liked this show very much. There are some children's shows that I don't mind, and there's some I even enjoy myself (although these are mostly older kids' shows.) But "Maggie and the Ferocious Beast" is one show I would not recommend. It's OK for children under two or three years old, but older children often get ideas off TV, which could easily happen if they watch Maggie. The show can indeed teach good manners, but otherwise the ideas can be unwise and even upsetting to children who don't know better. For example, in one show, Hamilton the pig caught a fish from a pond to keep as a pet. If a young child watches that, they might think it's a good idea and request to do the same thing sometime, perhaps on a family outing to a park with a pond. They could easily become upset and frustrated if they're not able to do everything on the show that the characters seem to be able to accomplish so easily. Additionally, I think some of the shows can be a bit frightening to a small child. Even the thought of a giant beast can scare some children, as well as "the big duck" on the show, which could easily give children nightmares. I would not recommend this show unless the person watching is too young to try the ideas on the show or be frightened by any of the show's characters.
