In case anyone with kids hasn't checked out Kai Lan yet, my review is 5 stars. My daughter LOVES this show. We have tried Dora, Backyardigans, Tigger and Pooh, It's a Big Big World and Sesame Street. Only Kai Lan has really been of interest to her. Everything else she watches for 1-5 minutes and she's done. The themes of the shows are very cute. Kai Lan and her friends Rintoo, Tolee and HoHo learn about sharing, ways of dealing with anger and overcoming fears, patience and the importance of helping friends and taking responsibility for your actions just to name a few. All with the help of Kai Lan's grandfather who she calls Ye Ye. I personally don't find this show annoying unlike Dora. Although I must admit, having my child pick up some Spanish is probably more practical than learning Mandarin. My only problem now is that my daughters birthday is this week and I absolutely cannot find anything Kai Lan related for her. Currently there are only 13 episodes of Kai Lan in rotation (but we DVR anyways and play them at our convenience) and apparently no new episodes will be out until 2009. I'm not sure if thats accurate just something I read somewhere. I can't believe Nick didn't realize this show would be a hit. It kinda feels like they dropped the ball a bit. If I could only find a stuffed doll or something I would feel like my daughters birthday was complete. Hopefully by Christmas this year they will have released some merch. Just in case, I am going to try and crochet her a Kai Lan blanket or something to that effect in time for the holidays. P.S. I did manage to find a few items on eBay Kai Lan related but they are all handmade anyways so I figure why not just do it myself. Anyone out there got a hand on some Kai Lan swag plz drop me a line.
