I've only seen the show maybe once, but my sister tells me horror stories when she comes home from babysitting. Now, most people are like, "I HATE THIS SHOW" and the rest are either saying, "My kids love it" or "YOU'RE NOT A LITTLE KID YOU CAN'T APPRECIATE IT!!!" But to tell you the truth, even if I was a little kid, I would honestly hate this show. If I got a question wrong, Dora would say, "Good job, you got it right!" And that means there's a chance the kids could think they were right and you would have to convince them their idol was wrong.
The whole interaction premises is a rather dumb one in the first place. I don't think it's a great idea to make your children think the TV can talk to them. I mean, sure, it's good to get kids involved, but do you really need to involve them so much, they'd be trying to climb into the TV to be with Dora? You could easily just leave out the interaction and the kids would still love it. I doubt that interaction is that important, or else most shows wouldn't be around anymore. Thomas the Tank Engine wouldn't be in it's 10th series. (Don't even get me started about how THAT show got ruined)
So, basically, I'm not saying that Dora will brainwash your children, I'm saying that there are many other shows that are more than just learning Spanish and how to jump over a pit of snakes or whatever.
