“Watch Raggs?”
A few weeks ago, The Mom Crowd was given some products from “Raggs“, a program now showing on public television. I was told it was a fun, lively, educational show that pre-school children would love. So I tried it out on my daughter Lucy. It didn’t take long for her to find it completely mesmerizing, and within a day, I started hearing the request, “Watch Raggs?”
Raggs is a rock & roll loving dog, whose friends (Trilby, B. Max, Pido, and Razzles) are in his band. When they’re not performing for scads of jumping children, they’re hanging out in Raggs’ clubhouse talking about all kinds of topics, like jobs and friendship. The show is sweet, colorful, and physical. There are segments that invite the kids to join in on dances and other movements, as well as montage videos of real people, like what you’d see on “Sesame Street”.
Overall, I have not found “Raggs” to be as irritating as other childrens’ shows (which shall remain unnamed). Lucy loves it and talks about the characters all the time. She likes her Raggs coloring book and the stickers that came with it. It won’t be long before I’m sure to hear her singing the familiar Raggs tunes.
Here is a video of the Raggs Kids Club Band singing “What’s the Dealio?”

I’ve got to try this for my daughter, who is bored with the same old shows. Thanks for the tip, I was getting desperate. (Not that she watches TV all the time, but I need a show or two as a fallback!)
