== Reception ==
Drew Magary of Deadspin criticized the program as "the loudest goddamn show on television... like someone took a bag of sound effects and bludgeoned you to death with it." Magary concludes that the series is "not merely bad, it’s actively harmful. It’s everything a children’s program should never be: shrill, inane, and overly stimulating." Larisa Wiseman of Common Sense Media rated the program 3 out of 5 stars, saying "the storylines are simple, engaging, and funny, and the characters are cute and energetic". Conversely, Wiseman said that it's "likely that some young viewers will be bored by the flat visuals, but hopefully they'll watch long enough to absorb the show's positive messages".
