Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

murray_mg They are entitled to their opinions, but I just cannot agree with david_345 and heavenseeker. They simply have no idea what they are talking about. "Between the Lions" is one of the best shows PBS has cooked up in years and years. The humor is fast-paced, there's just enough intelligent silliness for the adults watching with their kids. The puns are great in the fact that, the worse a pun is, the better it is. It teaches intelligent wordplay, irony, and dry humor as well as good old fashioned goofiness. I mentioned Shakespeare; well, he was famous for using really bad groaner puns to develop characters and push along the story lines. I bet he would have loved this show! I would give this show a 10 except for Arty Smartypants; he's just creepy.my favorite line so far: "Is mustard supposed to be crunchy?"

nielej I think heavenseeker has been listening to Fox too long and has let Fox's venom creep into their comments. Go watch FCO. I'm sure Davey and Goliath have all your answers.The good news is my 2 year-old will be smarter than their kids because he watches and enjoys BTL. Just as everyone else has said the quick humor (obviously lost on the naysayers) and intelligent instruction make it a must watch each morning at 6:30a. I love that they bring stories from many cultures and historical texts to the attention of children. My only complaint at this point is the fact that WETA seems to only have about 10 episodes.

ms-hope I just can not begin to understand the negative comments about this show. There is nothing negative about it. My 18 month old son and I watch it every morning and we both love it. It teaches the pronunciation of words, the long & short sounds of vowels, etc. I think this show is wonderful and it will remain a part of my son's daily activities. (I even find myself watching it when he's asleep)

sugerbear8 This series wonderfully combines learning and entertainment and provides a half-hour where the children will be enthralled in the jokes, skits, and songs; and the parents will not mind watching along with their children. Each show centers around a vowel sound that is constantly repeated in different skits and songs for effective teaching value. Each show also contains a theme; one delightful episode focused on Shakespeare in a light manner for a quick introduction to the Bard for young children. They might not have understood the verse, but the fact that a chicken puppet played Juliet will have them giggling. This is a great show to rival other shows that teach reading, especially Reading Rainbow.
