Dora the Explorer Complete Series DVD BoxsetMost of the time I don't bother reviewing children-shows like this but
Dora the Explorer lacks in almost every way to be a good show and I think parents have the right to know how much a show is helping they'r children and not.
At least a show like 'Blues Clues' (while also being quite mediocre) has some straight learning-subjects (calender-times, seasons, telling the time etc.). Even if Dora wasn't supposed to be educational, it would have been even worse as a normal entertainment-show since every episode is practically the same.
The same 3 stages towards a goal, the same (dull) characters, and the same weird questions that are being asked towards the audience in order to 'help' the characters in
Dora the Explorer. And while it is silly to ask for things like character-development in a show like
Dora the Explorer, it should at least have some entertainment-value I think. Now it is just pointless and uninspired TV-filling.
