Blaze and the Monster Machines

Yeah. It's terrible. There's no proper plot, it's full of ridiculous deus ex machinas all over the place and it's completely repetitive. The 'teaching' is fine for a very small child but is very basic. BUT...if your child is into cars, Disney Cars, trains, boats, planes, any form of transport, then they're probably going to like it. So it's terrible but if it gives my little one some joy I'll sit through it and sing the song and pretend like it's good just to enjoy a bit of quiet time with my little one.

Ah, yes. The classic "cheating is okay because everybody loves you" story. I don't understand how inventions are considered cheating, but nitro boosters aren't.

Blaze is one of the most egotistical "heroes" I've ever seen in a kids show. He can't handle the thought of losing a single race, (which they don't get any reward for, by the way) so he resorts to blatant cheating.

The show teaches basic engineering and science, which is a great concept, but I'm surprised at how not grounded in reality it is for teaching physics and such.

Overall, the show has flawed morals, boring and egotistical characters, and is just poorly made all around.

This show popped up as a recommendation after my child was watching Paw Patrol and I was dreading another mindless show that I sit through hating the characters and trying to figure out what the writers were smoking when they wrote the non-sensical plot.

It's not like this at all. It's fun, has a good message, and teaches kids a lot. The interactive parts feel a little forced but once my son got used to them and how long you're given to answer, he felt really involved in the story and loves it.

Each episode has a specific topic to teach (angles, inertia, width, etc.) which they cover well.

You're probably not a kid reading this review. For me, I'm a dad of a 2-year-old boy whom LOVES trucks and also enjoys learning, so it's no wonder this show is perfect for him. He is glued to every episode, and enjoys all of its aspects from numbers, problem solving, and decision making to the humor and very colorful characters! I also have to watch this show with him, so it's awesome to see such a talented cast make a pre-school show as enjoyable as it possibly can be! Check out the cast; Nolan North, Kevin Michael Richardson, Nat Faxon, and the list goes on! Great show. Definitely recommend!

Obiusly most of kids love it, because are cars who can talk, when I was a kid I LOVED Cars, and when I grew up it didnt like me. This show has nothing more than obvious multiple choice questions like for example: which of these balls is green? And has nothing to teach. But if I can tell something good is that it has good actuations.
