Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Bright colors, boundless energy, and silly antics reign in Boohbah, a PBS series aimed at very young children. Set against a computer-generated backdrop of bright balls of light, swirling rainbows, and opaque bubbles, five brightly costumed, Teletubby-esque atoms of energy--Jingbah, Zumbah, Humbah, Jumbah, and Zing Zing Zingbah--dance, twirl, and even fly through the air to the accompaniment of contagious giggling. The Boohbahs perform simple dances to beat-driven, percussive music that encourages children to dance along. In between dances is a "Story World" segment in which kids from around the world open a magical package that yields an everyday item. Slapstick comedy prevails as the Storypeople interact with the item from the box. When an armchair pops out of the magical package in "Comfy Armchair," Little Dog Fido's antics prevent Grandpa from ever actually sitting in the chair. In the other episodes, "Record Player" features Grandma and Grandpa dancing a very unique dance and "Skipping Rope" gets Brother, Sister, Mrs. Lady, Mr. Man and the entire Story World Family skipping with a very, very long rope. While Boohbah is not designed to entertain older children and adults, the bright colors, simple music, contagious laughter, and silly antics of these swirling vortexes of energy will surely captivate children ages 1 to 4. --Tami Horiuchi

don't become the slave to the boobahs!.......2007-03-22

the boohbahs are the essence of pure evil themselves. they are bent on world domination and mass destruction! do not let your child watch this. my mom saw ONE episode and literally said we weren't allowed to watch it. i am so grateful she did, because, believe me, the boobahs want to controll your child's mind!!! and don't even get me started about "gran-ma-ma" and that digusting "little dog fido"!!!!! if you look at all the storypeople, you will realize that there is NO "mom" or "dad"! what's wrong with this picture here?!?!?!

in conclusion, boobahs will give your kids nightmares, i don't like them, and neither should you.

Kids love it........2005-08-31

My 2 year old twins love Booh-Bah and especially this episode. They find the humor in the strong willed little dog that persists in sitting in the Comfy Armchair. The simpleness of the storyline entertains them. The love the color and the movement.

Engaging for my little one.......2004-10-14

My daughter has been crazy for Boohbah since she was 3 months old. The came upon it accidentaly right during the opening scenes and she was glued to the tv. At first we weren't too sure about it, but when I read what the show was all about I am a fan now too. She is 8 mos old now and loves all of the bright colors and activities they do! It's so great to see her get excited over it and to have the opportunity to do chores while knowing she is watching a good show. They moved it to being on really late at night so now I want all the dvd's.

My son loves it!!!!.......2004-10-11

My son is only 13 months old and Boobah is definetly his favorite cartoon, even knowing he is way below the age defined for this show: 3-6 years old. Boobahs are supposed to be atoms of energy, but I rather call them weird-looking-but-cute-things. I like that they incorporated the "Storypeople", who are people with familiar "names" like Grandmama, Grandpapa, Brother, Sister, Mr Man...
I also recommend parents to check out the pbskids.org website, where they have plenty of info on the Boobahs, especially the section for parents and teachers, where they explain who the Boobahs are and why our children can benefit from it.
My son loves the show and I do recommend the DVDs as well. He will probably get one of the other titles for Xmas this year.

A perfect DVD for trips!.......2004-09-18

My son loves watching the Boohbas dance, and he thoroughly enjoys story people time. However, whenever the "Look What I Can Do" portion of the show starts, he becomes instantly bored and either leaves the room or starts crying. When we're watching Boohbah on TiVo, we always have to click past that part. Well the beauty of this DVD is that none of the three episodes on it have the "Look What I Can Do" part! Instead, it's included on the disc as a separate bonus feature. Better yet is the fact that there's a "Play All" option which plays each of the three episodes in succession, which is even more convenient than TiVo, and makes this disc wonderful for long trips in the car or on the plane if you've got a portable DVD player. I just ordered the other Boohbah DVD today!
