johnnymyman-68540 Normally PBS Kids comes up with terrible baby shows like Barney, Fetch With Ruff-Ruffman, Ready, Jet, Go, and Splash and Bubbles, but Nature Cat is a different story. This is the greatest PBS Kids show ever that I had ever seen in my life. I'm only 21 years old, but I find this PBS Kids show to be a very enjoyable show along with The Magic School Bus. The animation is very admirable, the characters are funny and likable, the episodes are pure-fun, the humor is spot-on and it lives up to a type on being such a great show. This show even reminds me of the good old days when I was a young boy, and it feels like this show looks like it came from the 90's, and it's a pure feeling. And the voice- acting, need I say more? It's fantastic. It really lives up with their characters from that show, and they do such a great job with it. I hope it continues in the future, and I hope it gets a theatrical movie one of these days, because not only it's a great show, but it looks like it's very capable enough to have a theatrical movie. Nature Cat, and The Magic School Bus is one of those rare PBS Kids shows that are truly enjoyable, while the rest of them, sucks rotten eggs.

DJ Dyspeptic I, too, find this series to be chock full of negatives. To start with, the show's creators resurrected the vocal mannerisms of Phil Silvers' Sgt. Bilko character for the lead character. That had already become a comedy cliché 50 years ago; did they have to dig up a totally tired trope that was irritating back when it was brand new? A good 20% of Nature Cat's dialogue is either "Tally Ho!" or "Onward and Yonward!" That gives you an immediate signpost of what the show is about. The badness extends to the rest of the cast also. One of the characters has a stereotypical "Southern Hick" accent. Umm, that's a really bad sign. I take it that this show is aimed at getting kids to get outside and interact directly with the natural world. The problem is, it is generally so dumb in tone that it's really hard to focus on what the subject matter might actually be. I can't wait to see the results of any objective testing that might in time be done to see how well it is succeeding at getting kids to turn off the TV and go outside.

ctyankee1 This program is very informative for kids and adults. It teaches kids about the outdoors. Today it had how streams form when the snow melts on higher ground and flows down in streams of different sizes. It showed how the streams break up and the water runs underground and can come up in a stream not far away.The show talks about nature and how to take care of it. It is funny and has cute looking characters. The art, animation, images and colors are bright and beautiful.The show is on PBS Kids. Anyone any age can learn something and enjoy the colorful backgrounds on "Nature Cat".

jspeakstruth Nature Cat is silly with simple, educational topics/lessons for children (i.e. discovering different ways to help the environment and learning the difference between stalagmites and stalactites). My daughter enjoys it along with shows like Curious George and Meg+Cat. And just like no show is perfect, Nature Cat has it's quirky humor that might not suit everyone's style. However, I rather Nature Cat's humor over Curious George's consistency with the insulting comment, "You're pretty smart for a city kid." I cringe each time Bill says that to George, and it happens more often than not. That being said, Nature Cat is a show I feel safe showing my daughter and I enjoy seeing her use what she learned from the show. Good job PBS.
