Raggs

Raggs is a live action and animated musical preschool television series. It was originally produced in Sydney, Australia, with additional U.S. production in English and Spanish. "Raggs"’ episode library includes 195 finished half hour episodes and 200 original songs in multiple languages. The musical and educational series is based on the original characters created by Toni Steedman, a Charlotte, NC, advertising executive, for her then six‐year‐old daughter Alison. It was broadcast in the US on February 4, 2008 on PBS Kids, after its initial run in Australia.

Why It Won't Make You Want To Play

 * 1) Poor and cliché characterization:
 * 2) *Raggs ( blue ) is overly hyperactive and energetic. His voice actor also constantly yells his lines.
 * 3) *Pido ( yellow ) is a punching bag whom the other dogs leave out and exclude from their games all because they feel he isn't big enough to join them.
 * 4) *B. Max ( orange ) is a stereotypical scientist who needs to be on the wheelchair.
 * 5) *Razzles ( green ) is a brat who gets whiny and grumpy for the smallest reasons. She and Milo also don't get along sometimes.
 * 6) *Trilby ( pink ) is a stereotypical, bossy mean girl and causes things to go wrong with her overconfidence.
 * 7) The whole show is extremely repetitive.
 * 8) Dumpster is a rip-off of Tom from Tom & Jerry.
 * 9) "Friends" is an average episode for Trilby because the other dogs knew about Polly Possum leaving this afternoon. Trilby herself also misses her throughout, even before the dogs start playing with their pretend friends.
 * 10) Very crude and poor-looking CGI animation.
 * 11) The dogs themselves look very creepy.
 * 12) The US dub that is made in 2008 and aired on PBS Kids is pointless, compared to the original Australian dub.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The show can make daycare, preschool and kindergarten seem fun to children.
 * 2) It encourages children to play along with the dogs, sing songs, and dance.
 * 3) The theme song can be catchy (however this depends on who you are).
 * 4) It stays true to the original Australian dub.
