Yeah, I've heard a ton of parents bitching about it too, but I don't understand why. Maybe it isn't teaching kids how to count or say the alphabet, but hell, its getting them to get off their butts and dance! Kids need more shows that will get the active. Childhood obesity is at its worst right now and any show the encourages movement is great. This show has the whole dancey dance segment, plus tons of times they play music and show everyone dancing, which is bound to get kids moving around.
And then you have the whole tummy party thing. Kids love that, and I know it will get more kids to eat everything. I live with 7 kids under the age of 10. I know how impressionable kids are. I refuse to drink or smoke around them. I don't want them to pick up my bad habits. I know that they will be more willing to finish all the food on their plates just because some big furry monster says it's cool.
Kids need art. I may be biased on this subject, having grown up in a very "art encouraging" environment. In preschool, I went to four different art classes a day. My mom bought me every art supply I every wanted. She encouraged me to draw, paint, taking pictures, etc. When I was in third or fourth grade we painted a mural on our basement wall. I mean, art definitely needs to be encouraged in kids. Kids should be creative. Kids should be allowed to experience all of that.
And I know a lot of parents were bitching about the Biz Markie part, and I can kinda see why. I mean, who really wants their kids spitting everywhere he he is trying to beatbox? Although, a beat boxing kid would be awesome.

Steve is where its at.

...I do not like Steve -on the show-, however I will admit that I used to be a pretty big Steven fan, and when he's not in his striped shirt, -damn- that man is pretty hawt. I like Joe though 'cause he's not like tall and pointed, he's more round and friendly looking (not that I'm saying he's fat...'cause he's not), and he doesn't wear the same damn shirt every flippin' episode.
Nick Jr. is way awesome. It has the best shows. Screw Disney.

The idea of teaching kids isn;t always about cramming as much knowledge into their heads as possible, either. Whoever noted that parents counting on Nick to teach their kids was also spot on.

I still disagree. Joe has that "I'm munna rape you...." face. He is creepy. Steve is just cute and adorable and you just wanna pinch his cheeks, give him a cookie, pat his head and send him on his way.
