Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh and families. If you loved Animaniacs or King of the Hill, start here.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
56 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 30 minutes each).
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1971: an older pace and style.

The children's show has been a fixed Sunday morning ritual in German living rooms since 1971. Not only children, but also many adults sit in front of the television every week when the clever orange mouse, his blue elephant buddy and the yellow duck lead the way with short, funny cartoon clips between the "funny and factual stories".
