Originally, I was going to title this review "New York City dingbat finds an education and purpose in Africa." However, 'Scout' actually turns out to be a cool kid!
I may be very bias in my review of this show, but, I love Africa! I love its peoples; landscapes; jungles; deserts; flora and fauna(plants and animals); history; customs; etc; etc!
I love and equate this TV show with "Hatari;" "Daktari;" "Born Free"(movie and TV show); "White Lion;" "To Walk With Lions;" "Beautiful People;" "The Lion Who Thought He Was People;" "An Elephant Called Slowly;" "The Lion Cub From Harrods;" "Christian The Lion;" "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom;" etc. Also, even more distantly-related movies set in Africa like "The Wilby Conspiracy;" "Zulu;" "Zulu Dawn;" "The Gods Must Be Crazy;" etc. I love it...I love it all! :)
I began watching this show with my then-toddler Son when it first came out in 2002...hence, my original title after seeing 'Scout' acting like a spoiled little ditzy bimbo. But, as the episodes went on, I became more and more interested in this; and, especially more interested in the South African wilderness. Scout eventually became a cool kid!
Traveling in Africa and enjoying its wilderness scenery and all it has to offer is a blessing for anyone, whether you actually go there, or, see it on TV...it's splendid!
This is a great show, and, it's sad that it lasted for only two seasons. Likely because most kids nowadays (from about 1999 to now) don't like or appreciate anything unless they can blow-up or destroy something or someone with their computer cyber games while remaining idle and getting fat and lazy on donuts and soda.
Such a shame! This was a great show...all the way! :)
