Okay, I just love this little show. The octopus with the tiny hat is so sweet, and I love Weenie the hot dog. I put this on for Emily and she loves when Oswald sings - she'll just play happily on the floor but as soon as he starts singing she gets a big grin on her face and watches, then when he's done she goes back to her toys. It's so cute!

I like how Oswald is always so polite, and how there's always a nice message in each episode. Oh, and how random that Fred Savage is the voice of Oswald! How do I explain to Emily that I had a huge crush on her blue octopus in the 6th grade? :lol:

Does anyone else have kids that like this show?

I wish Caroline liked that one instead of the Tweenies - they look like deranged Muppets to me. :crazy:

Cassidy likes Oswald. We have several books too. Just an FYI, Oswals's voice is done by Fred Savage from the Wonder Years.

I've been trying to place that voice!!!
I hated Oswald at first, but he's growing on me. I like the music for some reason :lol:

ok, Alyssa loves this show, but I must say, it's a bit disturbing!! Weinie is a hotdog in a bun! :lol: I dunno, maybe it's just me, but there are some really odd things about the show! :lol: But, as I said, Alyssa loves it, and there are really good messages with the show.

It's not just you, there are definitely some odd things about it... like the walking paper dolls, they kind of creep me out, like they're something out of Stephen King or something! :lol: But it's definitely less annoying than a lot of the kid's shows out there, that's for sure!

I'd definitely rate it over Barney and Teletubbies!

I like Oswald! I do LOVE the message and how darn polite he is! And has anyone else put a face on the penguin character, Henry? Try.... Squiggy from Happy Days (Can't remember his real name).

Jen, yes, yesterday we were watching it and I was picturing Squiggy the whole time :lol:

I sure wish they would come out with some more episodes... I have them all saved on Tivo and I'm getting tired of them! :lol: Emily's enthusiasm for it has stayed strong though. But if I hear that "Ice cream, ice cream icecreamicecreamicecreamicecream" song one more time... :lol:

I hated Oswald at first, but he's growing on me. Me too! :nod:

Lexie does like this show (along with Barney and The Tweenies :rolleyes: ) :lol:
We often get some Oswald books from the library as well. :)

Did anyone catch the episode where the cousin came for a visit? I can't believe it but I think the voice was the LENNY character... Lenny and Squiggy reunited once more! :lol:

Can you believe that I've never seen an episode of Laverne and Shirley! :lol: That was such a sad episode, though... it makes me too sad to watch. How pathetic am I? :lol:
