Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

atta_ghoul-1 My 4 year-old and I love Nature Cat! It's great for him to learn so much about the outdoors, we are a family that loves to camp and spend time outside so this show really talks about the things we love. I love that it talks about recycling and preserving nature. And the fact that some of my favorite SNL alum are always on the show is just a bonus ;-)

johnnymyman-68540 Normally PBS Kids comes up with terrible baby shows like Barney, Fetch With Ruff-Ruffman, Ready, Jet, Go, and Splash and Bubbles, but Nature Cat is a different story. This is the greatest PBS Kids show ever that I had ever seen in my life. I'm only 21 years old, but I find this PBS Kids show to be a very enjoyable show along with The Magic School Bus. The animation is very admirable, the characters are funny and likable, the episodes are pure-fun, the humor is spot-on and it lives up to a type on being such a great show. This show even reminds me of the good old days when I was a young boy, and it feels like this show looks like it came from the 90's, and it's a pure feeling. And the voice- acting, need I say more? It's fantastic. It really lives up with their characters from that show, and they do such a great job with it. I hope it continues in the future, and I hope it gets a theatrical movie one of these days, because not only it's a great show, but it looks like it's very capable enough to have a theatrical movie. Nature Cat, and The Magic School Bus is one of those rare PBS Kids shows that are truly enjoyable, while the rest of them, sucks rotten eggs.

DJ Dyspeptic I, too, find this series to be chock full of negatives. To start with, the show's creators resurrected the vocal mannerisms of Phil Silvers' Sgt. Bilko character for the lead character. That had already become a comedy cliché 50 years ago; did they have to dig up a totally tired trope that was irritating back when it was brand new? A good 20% of Nature Cat's dialogue is either "Tally Ho!" or "Onward and Yonward!" That gives you an immediate signpost of what the show is about. The badness extends to the rest of the cast also. One of the characters has a stereotypical "Southern Hick" accent. Umm, that's a really bad sign. I take it that this show is aimed at getting kids to get outside and interact directly with the natural world. The problem is, it is generally so dumb in tone that it's really hard to focus on what the subject matter might actually be. I can't wait to see the results of any objective testing that might in time be done to see how well it is succeeding at getting kids to turn off the TV and go outside.

jspeakstruth Nature Cat is silly with simple, educational topics/lessons for children (i.e. discovering different ways to help the environment and learning the difference between stalagmites and stalactites). My daughter enjoys it along with shows like Curious George and Meg+Cat. And just like no show is perfect, Nature Cat has it's quirky humor that might not suit everyone's style. However, I rather Nature Cat's humor over Curious George's consistency with the insulting comment, "You're pretty smart for a city kid." I cringe each time Bill says that to George, and it happens more often than not. That being said, Nature Cat is a show I feel safe showing my daughter and I enjoy seeing her use what she learned from the show. Good job PBS.
