That was an excellent one.

Overrated and overhyped

A lot of fun.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I thought that my husband and I (38 & 35) were out of our minds, even if the kids are napping or in school we still sit down and watch Jakers. We are serious Jakers Junkies. We watch it 4-5 times a day between sprout and our local PBS. I am so happy to see that we are not the only adults who absolutely love it. I will say the only disappointment I have is that there never seems to be any new ones, although the local PBS has shown a few that we have never seen on sprout, I was disappointed that Wiley's voice was different(not Mel Brooks) in the episode about the haunted shipwreck. Is this a permanent change? I hope not. Now I have to go and get ready for the 11:00pm episode after everyone else is in bed. Glad to see there are others like me!

I read of a 19 year old watching Jakers The Adventures Of Piggly Winks and, I and my husband are 38 and 40 and we watch it everyday. We think that it is the coolest show (although they should do more Mauri and Holly stuff) and we go out of our way to watch and or record it. It is the cutest show and whoever thinks it's for children should try and watch a few episodes of it and they would have a change of heart. It is a excellent show for children, teens and, adults of all ages. Good Irish theme.Characters are fun to watch and a delight to observe. Fun for the whole family.We highly recommend this program for someone who is seeking an unforgettable adventure. Jakers The Adventure Of Piggly Winks is a one of a kind show. -Curt & Lisa

Have just discovered this on Children's TV on BBC 1 and it's brilliant! The characters are original and charming however the stars of the show are the 'random' sheep (voiced by Mel Brookes...say no more!) The situations featured in the stories are the things that children face all the time, which is why it appeals to all ages. The 'moral' to the tale is stated at the end, although it is the characters of the 'children' (pig, duck, bull) that makes it so charming. Although animals they are realistic. The programme works on several layers though (especially with the sheep who offer a parrallel story)which is why its wit also appeals to adults. This is wasted on children!

Found this show by accident skimming the Time Warner cable guide. Almost skipped it because of the name, which made no sense to me, but I flipped past the channel and was instantly captivated by the terrific animation. My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves Jojo's Circus and The Koala Brothers, and the animation was similar (better in my opinion) and the Irish accents on Jakers are charming (especially since we're Irish). After seeing a couple of episodes now, I love the stories and so does my daughter. They are not overly dumded down like too many kids shows. The show gives good messages in one of the most intelligent and fun ways of any kid's show I've seen. As I said, I have a 2 1/2 year old so I've seen a LOT! I was also certain I recognized the voice of the one sheep, and sure enough, in looking it up on IMDb, I found it IS Mel Brooks playing the voice of a hilarious character! The characters in this little show are extremely well developed and presented. I highly recommend it to anyone! GREAT little series!
