Plot
JoJo is a curious 6-year-old clown who lives with her family and friends in Circus Town. The show teaches kids about movement using games, songs, colorful circus characters and funny storylines. Viewers are encouraged to walk, run, dance, jump, climb and move with JoJo and all the friends and family in Circus Town.

Bad Qualities

 * The show feels the constant need to repeatedly smash its morals in its audience's faces Just to put it into perspective, other kids' shows have life lessons, but they at least try not to outright state them to the audience. The morals here are so ridiculously hammered down that they barely give the audience a second to breathe.
 * The episodes are very repetitive, with the same predictable ending where JoJo tells everyone what she learned.
 * 1) Mediocre characterization for the JoJo, who treats the audience like the Dora from Dora the Explorer, Diego from Go, Diego, Go!, the Teletubbies, the Tweenies, the narrators and puppets from Baby Einstein, the Little Einsteins, Blue from Blue's Room, Special Agent Oso, the Sensational Six from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Darby from My Friends Tigger & Pooh, Joe from the the later seasons of Blue's Clues, the Sesame Street Muppets (such as Elmo and Abby Cadabby) who are given the most screen time on Sesame Street (including Elmo in Elmo's World), Barney the Dinosaur in Barney & Friends, and mh:besttvshows:Pinky Dinky Doo do.
 * Hypocrisy: The show sends a subtle message about nutrition, yet the characters eat nothing but junk food.
 * In "The Little Big Top Boogie Band", Croaky cries all because she doesn't want to be in her friends' band, which isn't even a big deal.
 * Charlie the Clown Baby is bad and annoying. His crying will get on your last nerve.

Good Qualities

 * Nice stop-motion animation, even for Jim Jinkins' first stop motion series.
 * Teaches good life lessons and encourages kids to get active and dance, but this concept is poorly executed due to the morals constantly being pushed in the audience's faces.
 * Talks about circus life, even what it's like being a clown and running your own circus.
 * Circus Town is colorful.
 * Some of the songs (especially the theme song) are amazing.
