Waffle is a load of waffle!! However!
tpottsy-8737313 January 2021
Let us adult folk forgive and forget. It is a kids very light hearted program. With what is going on nowadays, lets be kind and not take away any fun entertainment for any age race or animal! We all need cheering up. I'm giving it neutral rating.

5 out of 5 for the kids, 0 for the parents
andyhuey-9509327 January 2019
The kids love it, but it doesn't have the enjoyment available to parents of some other programmes. A dog moves in with a family and they become so obsessed with the dog they can't do say or think anything with the dog.

Alien that looks like a dog infiltrates family of idiots.
matt-10123 March 2022
Cute talking dog and kids, what could go wrong?

The terrible adult role models, that's what.

Incompetent, accident prone father, tick.

Crazy old interfering old cat lady, tick.

Well done BBC for not helping encourage positive role models...

Great theme tune but would work better as a Sci-fi horror.

Terrible, it teaches bad behaviour with no consequence
maxironman19 June 2019
This is a terrible kids TV show. It's super cringey, the dog is extremely naughty and his actions are teaching our kids wrongly. He doesn't get any consequence for his actions after being told NO! Teaching kids to not listen and ignore us is not good for our kids. This TV show is as bad, if not worse, than Peppa pig. Keep off your tv

Ignore the haters
adamholidaydesigns16 March 2019
Binge watched this with my two year old daughter on many occasions. The core of the show seems to focus on relationships and the different types of people around us. The Brooklyn-Bell's represent a modern family with each parent having a child from a previous relationship. We haven't seen or heard about Evie's dad yet. I suspect he's doing time for armed robbery. Doug's mum claims to be working away in Alaska but is most likely attending rehab. Mrs Hobbs, the constantly moaning neighbour is proof that there is no cure for being a c#@t. We saw a veiled flashback of her husband leaving her for this reason. There's a talking dog too.

One if the worst thing's I've endured.
Pgle0519 September 2020
One of the worst thing's Ive endured as a father of 3 young kids. I know it's for children but the voice acting, as well as the acting as a whole, is absolutely atrocious. I was shocked to find Rufus Hound is the voice actor of Waffle. He's by no means a well regarded actor but wow, he should never work again. I always keep a bucket on hand when the kids have this on as it often makes me feel physically sick. If I could have gave this 0/10 stars I would have.

It's for Toddlers and young children .. Great Show
elton-412291 September 2018
Some of the haters on here are hilarious. Some of the negative comments are comical. This is a show aimed at an audience who do not care if it's terrible voice acting with bad jokes. The theme tune is catchy, my little girl of 18 months dances every time. She watches intently and it's puts a big smile on her face and a laugh in her belly.

Bottom line. Colourful vibrant show which fully embraces it's target audience. Well done BBC

Cute kids show
permapen20 January 2019
As the parent of a toddler who has wanted to watch nothing but Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol for his first three years, this is a welcome change on our TV! It's a cute show about a family who seem to live in the kids section of Ikea, with an impossible dog. It's not too hyper, although a bit repetitive. My son has been afraid of dogs, but now he 'wants a cute dog like waffle' and I love that!

The worst children's tv ever! Full of prejudice!
kcole20208 November 2020
The stereotypical portrayal of crazy old cat lady and dog owners are all lovely and fluffy is really really outdated and totally wrong. I cannot believe this is what this tv program trying to teach kids while the rest of the world is embracing inclusivity and be kind and be without prejudice. People might say it is only kids tv and no need to be too serious about it. But children are like sponges they totally take in the message behind it. I would be mortified if they think that all people own cats are like the awful woman in the program, and any bad behaviour by the dog and it's owners are forgivable and can be ignored. I've got both cat and dog and I don't want them to think one kind of pet is better than the other, and never to judge others in this way either. So I've recently banned my children from watching it as I don't want their minds to be polluted by this trash. I would give it 0 star if I could.

It's for children
nick-457-4741823 August 2018
It's cute, it's amusing, it's colourful and the theme is best when sung by my two little girls. Quality kids TV from the home of quality kids TV. If you expect more from it you probably shouldn't be watching.

Post-nuclear family harasses the woman next door, is it just me or does it makes teletubbies seem taxing on the brain, girl is cute but the dog is not

Made for children but it's beyond annoying!
stevechloeford21 February 2021
Quite simply...

MAKE A 90 minute feature length so us parents don't have to hit the remote control every 11 minutes to keep the kids happy !!

Thank you and good bye !

Ridiculous and encourages rude behaviour
chdydzjy18 December 2023
Not only is this show absolutely mind numbing and silly, it's also showcasing some very bad behaviour. The way Jess speaks to their neighbour is very rude for seemingly no reason. There are much better kids programs that aren't mindless trash like this. Yes it's colourful and exciting for my toddler but I don't want him picking up their behaviour so try to avoid it.

I would recommend Bluey, Octonauts or Go Jetters instead. They are much more fun for the whole family to watch.

If you're wanting to keep your toddler distracted while you walk away and do other things, then I guess Waffle is alright for that purpose. It's exciting enough to keep their attention, kind of like SpongeBob.

Great TV Series for Kids
davidpeck5 August 2018
My grandson loves this, he watches it over and over again and likes to dance and sing to the music, it's great for kids and as the other reviewer stated it's Quality Kids TV.

It's just children's tv
warren-free15 September 2018
Not sure what some reviewers expect. It's childrens tv. The children love it and its songs. It's now a staple in the evening before bed time.

My young daughter sings and dances along with the theme song, she just enjoys everything about this program. Who doesn't love a talking dog?

It's for children!!!!
Nuttyboyandy6 January 2019
Some people really need to get out more. I've got three young children at home, all of which love watching this programme, which is basically the target audience. My 2yr old sings along extremely enthusiastically with the theme song and gets very excited when waffle 'talks'. Perhaps the theme was written by a 7yr old but as it's aimed at pre-schoolers, it's absolutely spot on. Long live Waffle.

Fabulous stuff
pingu_20014 March 2019
Our son loves this show and Jess is beautiful, one for the dad's, her vet uniform popping up at every point including under her wedding dress is hilarious. Can't fault it really, and I agree with those on here. The negative nigels, who I doubt even have children, are pathetic in their knocking a programme intended for the very young. Think they need to take their juvenile approach and along with their keyboards they they're hiding behind, stick them up their service men entrances. Roll on series 3!!!

Great show
jilldean7 June 2021
My little one LOVES this show it's funny, musical and has a talking dog. What's not to like? Plus if it keeps a toddler entertained for 10 mins all the better.

Who wouldn't love this show?
cahanson-395-40084228 May 2021
A true reflection of family life with kids and a dog. My daughter is obsessed with this show!

It's amusing, catchy music and good humour. I love the dog voice.

Not sure why the hate for this show?! It actually surprises me. In terms of alllll the kid shows out there, this is by far the easiest to watch.
