ridiculous rating

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I tune in every day to watch Piggly Winks...and I don't have any kids. I love the premise of the show; an older Piggly Winks relaying life's lessons to his grandkids. I love the characters, especially Ferny and Dannon, but all the characters are enjoyable to watch. But mostly, I think this show is very well written. The story lines are easy to follow, but are presented with humor and subtle details that adults will find entertaining. The variety of characters give the show a fun diversity, and the details in the animation means you can re-watch it and see things you didn't see before. I am very happy that I found this show.

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!

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!

This is the best children's program I have ever seen. It teaches responsibility, imagination, manners, multiculturalism and more in a most enjoyable fashion. The animation is beautiful and the stories are pure delight for both kids and adults. This is the one show I allow my 4 year old to watch every day and I enjoy it as well. Each episode follows the same format, a modern day Grandpa Piggley tells stories to his three grandchildren about his adventures growing up in rural Ireland. The childhood tales feature his family, his school full of adorable animal friends and his ever faithful companions, Ferny and Dannan (a veritable Ron and Hermione, if you will). They have wild imaginations and good intentions and truly, each episode is pure delight. I can't recommend it highly enough.
