AMAZING

It was really amazing show , loved it !!!My 8,10 and 12 yr old loved it ! I was impressed by how it gives off kid vibes rather than most rude entertainment we see today in kid shows ! 1 episode talks about crushes and some have characters dating and almost-kissing. Romance isn't a theme of the show but is vaugley brought up.I honestly think let your 7+ year olds watch this. They'll be laughing crying and just enjoiying watching kids be kids

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (54 ):
Kids say (24 ):

This delightful show has something for everyone -- mystery, comedy, and a touch of nostalgia for grown-ups who remember fondly the unique sense of magic in childhood adventures. Parents know that it's no simple task finding a show that's both appropriate for and appealing to the whole family. Whether it's suggestive situations too mature for youngsters or fantasy so unrealistic that tweens tune out, finding the right mix of innocence and entertainment is a challenge.

Enter Gortimer Gibbon and his faithful friends with their quirky ways, hearty relationships, and indomitable spirits, and you'll find that the search is over. Add in forthright values, great examples of positive relationships, and a touch of fantasy, and you have the makings of a real winner for kids and adults alike in Gortimer Gibbon's Life on Normal Street.
