EP3 Buster's Baseball Merengue (Dominican Republic) Dec 11, 2006

When Buster learns that Damon and Bateria, two of his favorite players on the Elwood City Grebes, have been traded, he's shocked. Having learned a hard lesson that sometimes players that were thought to be loyal will go elsewhere for more money, he scouts the Dominican Republic at Harry's urging for new talent. Los Viajeros happened to be going on a trip there. He stays at the house of Patrizia and her daughter Patty, who he learns is a concert pianist and also talented at soccer. With her assitance, Buster helps Los Viajeros to develop an album of merengue music (a style native to the Dominican Republic) while also meeting up with a new friend to watch baseball. He discovers some amazing local talent and also finds someone he never expected --- a player from the Elwood City Grebes!

pyro_girl_bl I can't get enough of the show & I'm almost 18 yrs. old, so you can't say it's just for kids. I'm totally obsessed with Carlos & Mora. They are so awesome!! I know it's kind of odd, but, it makes me happy! The only thing I have to complain about is that there's not enough of Carlos & Mora in the show (well, not enough for me anyway. Although, maybe there will never be enough for me). They are so cool & so cute together, such a cute couple! I love how he'll walk with his arm around her & all that kind of stuff! My 11 yr.old sister laughed at me for liking this show, but now it's growing on her, too. It has a lot of educational stuff to it, but the main reason I watch it is for Carlos & Mora. Their songs are also very catchy. I could go on & on about Carlos & Mora all day... I even taped some of the songs & got Postcards From Buster DVDs.
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.
