They are so similar it is hilarious, down to the microphone and his friends. LOVE the intelligence of this program as it does not dumb down children.

My 2 year old loves it, too. She only sits still for 2 things, Elmo and Sid so I really love the times we can sit together and watch something both entertaining and educational for both of us. Thanks again Jim Henson.gatorgirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11637710.post-70731367669195547192008-12-05T09:14:00.000-05:002008-12-05T09:14:00.000-05:002008-12-05T09:14:00.000-05:00i dont know if it is age appropriate for my 14 month old, but we love this show...it gets him up and moving when he hears any of the songs. it is so colorful and fresh. i understand what people are saying about how it is sad that it is no longer puppets, but we have to appreciate that it is shown on PBS with no commercials and still is focused on learning vs. entertaining. another plus is it is not as annoying as other cartoons, so we grown ups can take it over and over again. i'm sure my son will continue to love this show as he grows!!!<BR/>thanks hensons!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11637710.post-53143110447110982532008-11-24T16:03:00.000-05:002008-11-24T16:03:00.000-05:002008-11-24T16:03:00.000-05:00We love Sid at my house. This has my 2 1/2 year old increasing his vocabulary in amazing ways. With so much inappropriate tv out there for kids this show is absolutely refreshing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11637710.post-81004031610438203022008-11-01T07:16:00.000-04:002008-11-01T07:16:00.000-04:002008-11-01T07:16:00.000-04:00I Love this show! <BR/><BR/>Not being in the industry but being a life long fan of Henson creations, I'm so excited to have Sid the Science Kid in my home. I can understand the first posts point of view. But I don't think he/she samples much of what is avail to the target age group! I can clearly see what the puppeteers bring to the characters and love the dimension they bring to the show! There is always room for quality work no mater it's presentation.<BR/><BR/>My four-year-old loves the show and I love what it inspires. I'm learning a lot as well. I'm learning that every question from that little brain is an opportunity to teach and nurture more curiosity. Sometimes as busy parent we forget that.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to all involved!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11637710.post-71851168423661340712008-09-15T23:31:00.000-04:002008-09-15T23:31:00.000-04:002008-09-15T23:31:00.000-04:00We love Sid and all his friends and are ready for the famous microphone to his store shelves. My son and I watch it everyday when he gets home from school. This show is obviously special and unique. One of those shows you can feel good about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11637710.post-82001316997699692472008-04-03T11:40:00.000-04:002008-04-03T11:40:00.000-04:002008-04-03T11:40:00.000-04:00The technology used for this project was one of the last things Jim Henson worked on. This is the same sort of rig used for the Henson Hour's CG "Waldo" character. So yes, Jim Henson would have likely blessed this concept - especially for a children's science show. <BR/><BR/>It is basically a CG/virtual puppet. Yeah, the traditional puppetry with the Muppets is still my favorite way to go (by far) and that still seems to be going on at Disney with the Muppet gang, Sesame workshop and at the Henson Company with Puppet Up, the Fraggle Rock film and various other projects. <BR/><BR/>I am for real puppets firts, but kudos for trying to create something more endearing out of today's technology.frogboy4http://www.blogger.com/profile/16188415653115644672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11637710.post-68756176289488809432008-04-03T11:09:00.000-04:002008-04-03T11:09:00.000-04:002008-04-03T11:09:00.000-04:00"Exciting new show"<BR/><BR/>So you like watching a computer program?<BR/><BR/>Give me cloth and real live acting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11637710.post-70079186605518764432008-04-03T11:07:00.000-04:002008-04-03T11:07:00.000-04:002008-04-03T11:07:00.000-04:00Why is the Henson company doing CGI flicks now?<BR/>I don't care that a puppeteer controls the pixels now.<BR/>This sucks.<BR/>I doubt Jim Henson would abandon <BR/>puppets and move on to computers.<BR/>Is anyone else bothered by this?<BR/>I love the Muppets because they are<BR/>cleverly crafted, and lovingly performed pieces of art.<BR/>Now it's all stored on a hard drive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
