I've always loved Cinderella. She went from rags to riches. You never know what will happen, until you put on those glass slippers. Thanks for having the contest!
We've been Noggin addicts since Roo was about Jasper's age and we know most of its programming by heart. We were really excited when Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! came on the air. Its simple storylines and drawing style are charming and the episodes wrap up with a catchy song that showcases the moral of the story. Every episode features a message about the importance of friendship, telling the truth, etc., but the lessons are never preachy or heavy-handed. Roo and Jasper love the songs most. When we received a package of Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! items to review, I assumed Roo would be the one to go ga-ga over it. She did immediately latch on to the DVD (A Tale of Tails) but Jasper claimed the stuffed Wubbzy and electronic board book. I am slightly embarrassed to report that his first recognizable utterance is very clearly "Wow! Wow!"
Roo suggested "maybe Jasper and I can share Wubbzy!" Uh, yeah, you try to wrench the little yellow guy from your baby brother. Let me know how that works for you… I think we might be better off just getting a second Wubbzy doll! You can enter to win a giant Wubbzy prize pack on YouTube in the Wubbzy Dance Contest.

We love Wubzy too! Although I have to continually remind myself that Wubzy is a boy. He isn't very...masculine. But that's okay, one day he will go through "the change" and become a man.
I like the random character that says, "That's Koooo-keee!". It is our little inside preschool joke now between me and Jonas.
My favorite cartoon Character; I guess I always liked popeye. He instilled in me a love of spinach.
Am I nuts for not knowing about Wubzy? Maybe about as nuts as one of my bloggy friends who just commented on my Twilight post today, saying that she had never heard of it. How can that be? LOL
Cute blog. Glad I stopped by. I saw you over on Fractured Toy!
My son loves Wubbzy too! He also loves Oswald and I've learned from that cartoon that Kevin Arnold, um, I mean, Fred Savage, really isn't the greatest singer.
PS It was great meeting you Sunday!

I always liked Pooh Bear the most. I liked that he played Pooh Sticks. I grew up in the country with no other kids nearby, so I spent a lot of time entertaining myself, and I could easily relate to games like Pooh Sticks.
Dora was always my favorite with my kids. Oh the Spanish words we have learned over the years!

I didn't know Fred Savage was the voice on that show. Loved the Wonder Years!
My granddaughter loves Wubbzy and Ozwald and all the toons on Noggin. I babysit her and the TV stays on that channel. I like Dora because now my grandkids are learning some Spanish which comes in handy here in TX>
my kids love wubbzey. for my kids there are so many that teach them lessons, dora diego, wonder pets. lessons like teamwork, helping animals. growing up for me it was fraggle rock. the message was bringing out potential in all of us

My daughter would love a Wubzy gift pack! When I was a kid my favorite characters were the Care Bears, who taught all about caring and sharing and friendship. I think they've been re-released in the past few years but I've yet to see them become really popular again. I wonder if Tenderheart Bear still part of the gang...
Thanks!

I always loved Road Runner (yes, I'm old!) But he taught me endurance and to never quit, ha!
My favorite cartoon character is Love-A-Lot Bear! I learned lessons on being kind and caring.
fun.mom.cher *at*gmail*dot*com
I think Eeyore taught lessons on kindness and understanding. He showed that it is okay to be different, to be introspective and quiet and sensitive.
urchiken at gmail dot com
As a child my favorite cartoon characters were on Muppet Babies - that show really encouraged using your imagination. I learned a lot from that. Thanks for the chance! afdr3d@umkc.edu
I love Veggie Tales (my favorite is Larry the Cucumber). They teach all sorts of lessons. Lately my daughter wants to watch the Veggie Tales Jonah movie all the time. The story of Jonah teaches about compassion and even though I'm no longer a kid, it's still a good reminder to be compassionate toward others.

I learned a lot about classical music from Bugs Bunny!

While watching my nephew Dora the Explorer is always a request so I have learned to say several things in Spanish.

We love Wubzy!!! I was very into the Muppet Show and will always remember Kermit's "It's not easy being green" song about not wanting to be anything other than yourself.
I really liked smurfs, I don't remember learning much except maybe about working together.

foghorn leghorn always thinking and outsmarting his adversary

Wubzy is a pretty cute show. My favorite cartoon character when I was young was Rainbow Bright. I am not too sure what it taught me, besides how to clash an outfit and wear really bog weird boots...but it was entertaining none the less!
I've never heard of Wubbzy but I know my neice would love him.
I like Franklin. He always gets into trouble and learns good lessons. It's very wholesome. Thanks for the great contest!

I loved the Pac-Man cartoon growing up. It taught me to always be prepared, you never know when you might need a power pellet to overcome your adversaries.
I liked Speed Racer. He never gave up when he faced danger or hardship.
Bugs Bunny taught me that the bully was much less funny,suave and clever than the good guy!
i loved wonder woman, made me think women are invincible!

fridays_888@yahoo.com
I learned from the simpons how not to be a dad.
In the dark here. I just watched WowWow Wubzy; Be yourself and it is adorable!!!
They remind me of old style cartoon; the ones that teach a lesson without force feeding morals.
I love it!
My favorite cartoon is the Backyardigans because they have taught my son (and me!) the importance of having a good imagination. I'm sure Wubzy will be a new favorite as well!
katiekarr at gmail dot com
My favorite character is Bugs Bunny-he taught me not to be so serious!
My son loves Wubbzy. He also loves the Backyardigans which I really enjoy too. Great lessons on imagination as well as great music. I grew up watching Looney Tunes and the big lesson I learned was to not buy anything from ACME mailorder (poor Wile E. Coyote, LOL)
Yogie Bear, It's better to be smart than mean.
I like Pepe Le Pew.He taught me its not necessarily what you say but how you say it.
My favorite cartoon character as a child was Popeye. Even tho I am a girl he taught me that eatind healthy even spinach ;) was good for you and would make you strong. I still have that imbedded on my mind. Thank you! I would love to win this for my 3 little ones. Thank you!
tatertot374@sbcglobal.net

I loved Fraggle Rock and Care Bears as a kid. My little one loves wubbzy, so this would be great!
My favorite as a child was Smurfs & scooby doo. They taught so many great lessons. Honesty being my favorite.

I liked sesame street. I had a sing along tape when i was little and I learned a lot from it! About sharing, forgiving, learning letters. I love that it's still aorund today for my daughter - who also loves it!
ladeebug224 at hotmail dot com
Scooby Doo...there's no such thing as monsters. It's just some guy with a mask on!
SEASAME STREET SONGS HELPED MY KIDS LEARN ALOT!I GREW UP WATCHING CAPTAIN KANAROO AND ROMPER ROOM!
My favorite was always Daffy. I always loved people with a different sense of humor, a bit of craziness. It's okay to be a bit different.
My fave was Casper the Friendly Ghost - teaches not to always judge a book by its cover :)
I have two toddlers who love Wubzy.
maquel@emmiekate.com
My favorite cartoon character is still winnie-the-pooh from whom I learned not to take life too seriously! Thanks!
My favorite are the Smurfs! I love those little blue ones.
I always loved Pooh and I still do!
pkost2@falcon1.net
Woohoo! We love Wubbzy!
While growing up, I was a huge fan of the Smurfs. My mom called me Smurfetta and would address cards to me with that name even while I was in college!
I would have to say that the cartoon characters I learned the most from were the Little Miss and Mr. Men books. I was so excited when they started becoming popular again! They teach all sorts of great lessons: how to be nice, respectful, friendly, silly, happy, etc.
Superman and he showed me that everyone has weaknesses. Even Superman can commit sucide.
My favorite was Esmerelda from Tiny Toons, and I guess she taught me never to hug a pet or friend too tightly, lol! Thanks!
My kids love Wubzy, Widget and the crew. When I was a kid, I loved the Gummi Bears and David & the Gnomes
I love esmerelda from tiny toons :)
I really like Miss Spider on Noggin. All her children are adopted and different; but they all get along and are accepted by the others.

I loved Tweety as a kid.
Never heard of wubzy! But my 2 older boys would love it! my favorite cartoon Care Bear. It teaches me and my sis to share. I also like Tom and Jerry...they're funny! khong0707 at yahoo dot com
Dora I love that she teaches spanish...
It is about time they released Wubbzy toys and videos. I think my toddler has given up on ever receiving one. I honestly can't think of a special lesson from childhood cartoons except that now that I have my own children I realize how jipped we were! Sesame Street before school and cartoons on Saturday morning. Now there are atleast 8 or 10 24 hour a day childrens channels on cable. WOW.
Ok I am glad that I am not the only one who doesnt know what Wubzy is. Thank you so much for the chance to win such a great prize for my little ones! We love baby einstien in my house and I love the fact that they teach about the classics on it! Thanks agian for the chance to win!
I love Winnie the pooh and he taught me you don't have to be smart to be lovable. :)
Wiley Coyote taught me that you should never give up!
We love Wubbzy and the new DVD is on my son's birthday list. Bugs Bunny taught me to always be creative, think outside of the box (or hole as it may be) and watch your back! Thanks!

The old schoolhouse rock ones from way back when...those were good.
I still remember most of the things they were teaching.
My kids love watching Wubzy, it's a treat when we stay up late to catch the show on noggin. My favorite cartoon now would be Spongebob and when I was a kid, it was Garfield and Friends. :)
kooky
Bugs Bunny - he taught me to eat my carrots if I want to survive Elmer Fudd
My favorite cartoon character is Scooby Doo. He teaches us not to be scared of something because it's not always as it seems.
The Backyardigans are my favorite because they teach kids about nature
My favorite cartoon growing up was Popeye and he taught me that if you eat your spinach you will grow up big and strong. My problem is I just grew up big.

betsypz@yahoo.co
My 3 boys love Wubbzy! I like Ming Ming from the Wonderpets. The Wonderpets is all about teamwork and helping in times of need.
I use to love Rainbow Brite when I was little. I knew she was brave and helped everyone. I use to say her name at night to try and keep the nightmares away. I wish this was still on so that my girls could watch it. Thank you!!
Woody Woodpecker--laughter can get you out of a lot of tight spots!
Jennifer, jennem22 at yahoo dot com
There are so many good cartoons out there that teach many good lessons. Right now a fav in our household is "Super Why" My son loves letters and numbers and likes to know their names. but we also love all the regular ones like Dora,Wubbzy and all the rest!
My favorite super hero was always Wonder Woman. She showed me that women could be strong and courageous and also kick some serious bad guy butt !!
I loved the Wonder Twins (I think that is what they were called) and it taught me that without a twin brother you can't morph into anything cool lol
purehrt555(at)yahoo(dot)com

the lady bugs picnic cartoon on sesame street, it taught me to count to 12
My favorite cartoon character was Scooby Doo. I learned that the Harlem Globe Trotters can play basketball AND solve mysteries!
I loved so many cartoons as a kid. I really loved the Flintstones and the Jetsons. I think both shows taught me that while times may change, people are basically the same. vidomich(at)yahoo(dot)com
Always love the Jetsons, looking toward the future I guess, seemed exciting at the time, thanks
The smurfs, believe it or not, taught me patience.
Wylie Coyote-to always keep trying and never give up!
Bugs Bunny.. taught me how to laugh all over the silliest things :)
Wubbzy is very cute and my little goddaughter will love the plush doll.
I forgot to add my childhood cartoon. OK, I loved speed racer. I learned that adults could get upset at a child's mistakes but love and concern remain.
Fred Flintstone was my favorite cartoon character. I learned from him that an ordinary guy can still have fun and be cool.
Calliou - its great teaching tool for parents for communication and active interaction with your kids. They listen to what he says and show with mirroring that they understand. They care for him but set limits. His parents are always doing things for him.
I guess he's my favourite character because he seems pretty authentic -from other kids in similar households that I've known.
I'd have to say the Powerpuff Girls. They're humorous, clever, and tough/independent/strong! I like seeing female characters that aren't fairy princess-types.
opalelephant630@aol dot com
I always liked Winnie the Pooh - he always seemed so nice to his friends
i always like wilbur from charlottes web he was always so sweet and caring :)
My favorite cartoon was Tom & Jerry. I learned that no matter how small you may be if you use your smarts you can conquer big problems. Thanks for the giveaway!
braaisjo @ gmail dot com
My son really loves this show. Thanks for the contest. The lesson I can remember best from when I was young was from the Tom and Jerry cartoon. It shows that just because someone is bigger than you, it doesn't mean that you can't outsmart them.
