The Doodlebops is a sort of live-action, acid-induced, cartoon-like, Broadway-musical-gone-awry airing on the Disney networks and produced by our Canadian friends (or possibly enemies) to the north. The show is aimed at kids aged three to five or six, but really, no one should be watching it.
The Doodlebops are a three person band consisting of two guys and one gal who are inexplicably covered in pastel paint, impossibly bright clothing and clown wigs. The point of this show, I guess, is to get kids up and dancing rather than sitting on their butts watching television. But I would recommend that instead of turning on this show, you turn on some Kidz Bop or ‘80s music and let them have at it.
The formula of this show is that there’s usually some lame “problem” the Doodlebops have to overcome in order to make it to their “gig,” but there’s no real lesson or educational value that kids can take away from the Doodlebops.
Frankly, this show stinks. The (over)acting is hideous, the music is bad and the plots are so saccharine-ly simple as to be almost be non-existent.
Don’t waste a second of you or your child’s precious, precious brain time on this show. Unless, of course, your child loves it, and then, well, you’re pretty much screwed.
