What Parents Should Know
Parents need to know that preschoolers will be drawn to the cheerful characters, vibrant environment, and music-laden storylines of this high-energy puppet variety show. There's no shortage of fun to be had with the zany bunnies, but don't expect the show to teach your kids much more than some catchy tunes, since the series doesn't really focus on educational content. Also, there's little continuity between segments within each episode (each usually starts fresh with its own storyline), so if you're looking to challenge your child's attention span, this isn't the show to do it.

Families can talk about the bunnies' adventures. Kids: Where did the bunnies go today? How did they prepare for their trip? What did they discover during their travels? What are some of your favorite places to go? What do you take along when you go? Also, what do you think of the people the bunnies see in Peopletown? How do their clothes and actions compare to those of real people? What do you think you would find if you spied on a group of real bunnies?

Common Sense Media Review
Preschoolers will have a hip-hoppin' good time with the colorful, furry stars of BUNNYTOWN, a madcap puppet variety show that incorporates music, dancing, and the kind of old-fashioned silliness that's sure to get kids bouncing around in excitement.

Created by the award-winning team of David Rudman, Adam Rudman, and Todd Hannert -- the Jim Henson Company alums behind the hit series Jack's Big Music Show -- each episode of Bunnytown features a series of silly short stories and high-energy song-and-dance numbers.

The series is set in the zany bunny stars' vibrant hometown, where at any given time you can find them playing games, putting on concerts, or setting off on adventures that range from riding on a pirate ship to rocketing into outer space. When their imagination takes hold, there's no limit to what this band of bunnies can -- and will -- do.

And when they've exhausted their options in their own world, they can navigate underground tunnels and pop up in nearby Peopletown, where they peek in on what the humans are up to. These live-action segments feature oddball characters who are nearly as wacky as the bunnies themselves, including the pratfall-prone silent comedy team of Red (Ed Gaughan) and Fred (Andrew Buckley) and an outlandish sportscaster named Pinky Pinkerton (Polly Frame).

Whatever they're up to, the bunnies never miss an opportunity to share their love of music with their young viewers, and this is where the series shines. With catchy original songs, as well as a repertoire that runs the gamut from 1970s disco to girl-group pop, even parents will find their toes tapping to the beat.

Still, although it's fun-filled and bound to entertain, Bunnytown makes little effort to incorporate strong educational content or other lessons, and the variety-show format creates little continuity between segments and does nothing to expand youngsters' attention spans. In the end, it's mostly a vacation for preschoolers' brains, but at least it's likely to get them up and dancing.

Other great choices for this age group include Oobi , Sesame Street , and WordWorld .
