I like the narrator's soothing voice and the fact that the show is far less annoying than a lot of other shows for kids out there.
The Christmas special is more moralistic than anything, which is fine. I don't care either way whether the squirrel has two dads or not, as long as it's handled well. Whatever your feelings on same-sex marriage are, it exists and we need to respect that. It was pretty subtle. No one turned to the screen and said, "that's right kids, Sally has two dads and that's totally groovy" or anything like that. I don't even think my kids noticed or cared, so I just left it at that. What we ended up talking about was the fact that Grumpy Toad was being selfish and that he learned that Christmas is about giving and not getting.
