    This is probably one of the cleverest children's shows that I have ever watched (so far). All the characters are interesting, and the jokes always land. The plots are silly, but they work. My only complaint is the thing where they have to teach children words, but even that is funny most of the time. This show takes superhero tropes and just runs with them in the funniest ways possible. Though the same group of villains show up time and time again, they always manage to be funny and original. I would highly recommend watching this show.

    The plot of a pre-teen girl superhero (and a cute one at that) originating from the planet Lexicon fighting crime with her super strength, Mach flight speed, and of course, her enhanced vocabulary and superior intellect. Simply incredible!As for the inspiration, it is very Superman: A being born on another planet, crash landing on Earth and adopted by a family, super strength and super speed abilities, trying to keep the hero identity secret, and suffering a weakness caused by a substance from the hero's home planet (in the case of WordGirl, Lexonite, as she is from the planet Lexicon, like Superman's weakness being kryptonite, him being from the planet Krypton).As for the villainy department, the characters that really stand out for me are: . Sophisticated evil boy genius Tobey McCallister III (in my opinion, a cartoonized offshoot of Norman Price from Fireman Sam, as they are both little boys who cause havoc and wear glasses), of whom has a slight crush on WordGirl (I don't blame him) and has a penchant for constructing giant, destructive robots.. Dr. Two-Brains (voiced by Tom Kenny of Spongebob fame), an evil cheese pillaging scientist with two brains (hence the name).. Chuck the Evil Sandwich-Making Guy, a human/sandwich hybrid that commits sandwich related crimes (hence the name).Extremely well written, plenty of action combined with comedic elements, and a brilliant theme song. What more could you ask for?In short, when it comes to superhero cartoons, WordGirl gets my vote as being the best one of them all. Watch out, villains! Here she comes!!!Word Up!

    Well, as a rather harsh critic of shows like Full House and that piece of crap The Big Bang Theory, I can say that I had no expectation of this show being any good.But, through clever writing and enjoyable characters, this show actually SURPRISED me! In one episode, two of the villains fall in love and whenever they see each other, we hear the cheesy music that we're used to hearing in rom-coms and all that. But, then, it's revealed to be a character with a faulty boombox that keeps turning on at random moments. Lady Redundant Woman? Even her name is clever!Look, I'm not saying that it's Breaking Bad status, but if you have a child, you can turn this on and find yourself entertained, too.

    I love any children's show that has a good point but doesn't get preachy. WordGirl is really funny on so many levels, not only teaching vocabulary but also satire, hyperbole, and irony. The silliness is on par with the best old school VeggieTales. The supervillains are hysterical, with equally great villain names, like "Chuck the Evil Sandwich Making Guy" and "Lady Redundant Woman". My son has learned several good vocabulary lessons above his grade level just by watching this treat, and I love watching it with him just because it's so funny. If the "grown-ups" that run Hollywood paid attention to PBS Kids, a lot of primetime comedy shows would be much more intelligent and entertaining
