Fun Show

I used to watch this show with my daughter also. She was a very little girl at the time, and Gullah Gullah Island was full of fun. The kids seemed to be really very happy. There was a brightness and energy that always came from the cast. The show had a lot of happiness emoting from the children. The parents were a bit stiff sometimes. The show was the best when it focused on the interaction between the kids.

I enjoyed watching the show, and it was a fun and positive lift every time that I saw it. It also had positive values and taught good lessons in a friendly and happy way. I wish more shows like this one were being made, it was a great show for kids. It was also a great show for parents to watch with their children.
