Hero Guy

Hero Guy is a Sesame Street segment that premiered in season 32.

Premise
In a series of sketches on Sesame Street, Baby Bear brings Hero Guy to life by drawing a picture of him and singing his theme song. These sketches first aired in Season 32, became one of the main features in Season 33, and appeared on occasion until Season 38. When Hero Guy, who is also a bear, springs to life as an animated character, he and Baby Bear embark on adventures together. Although they often face unexpected challenges, Hero Guy never fails to save the day.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) This segment is too similar to Harold and the Purple Crayon and ChalkZone, along with Pinkalicious and Peteriffic (even though this show was made in 2018), as their main characters create art that come to life.
 * 2) Most of the segment is just mindless nonsense and brainless fluff, with dull gags and just plain goofiness with no real purpose.
 * 3) Hero Guy himself is a Gary Stu and a comic relief who acts like a complete moron. All of his dialogue is him trying to be funny, only for him to instead come off as insufferable due to how goofy he is and that he sometimes doesn't even listen to Baby Bear.
 * 4) The humor falls flat and is unfunny, as wacky movements are overused.
 * 5) Obnoxious, high-pitched, and/or badly edited sound effects almost every second.
 * 6) Mediocre animation that looks comparable to that of a SNES or NES game.
 * 7) Mediocre to bad voice acting for both Baby Bear and Hero Guy.
 * 8) Aside from Baby Bear, none of the other Sesame Street characters appear in this segment. In fact, he could be replaced with some random character and it wouldn't make a difference.
 * 9) "Hero Guy" is a generic and dull name for a superhero. A better name would be "Superbear".
 * 10) In the segment "Pirate Ship", Hero Guy literally cries an entire ocean because Baby Bear forgot to draw some water. When he does, Baby Bear congratulates him and says, "Your sadness saved the day, Hero Guy!" Basically, the segment teaches kids that crying will solve all their problems.

Good Qualities

 * 1) This segment is creative and encourages children to explore fine arts.
 * 2) It also promotes friendship and teamwork.
