Wow. Captain, I don't know what planet you are from. My kids get <b>50 servings of fruits and vegetables<b> every day. And <b>15 hours</b> of exercise! So... there. But in all seriousness, Captain, we know exercise is good, but I think you misunderstand what this site is all about. We know there are all kinds of positive messages out there. Lots of good educational programming, and the kids will like 90 percent of what comes on there favorite stations. But this site is about parents. We are reviewing these for parents, because they have lots of exposure to kids' entertainment. Read the "Open Letter to the Easily Offended" on the homepage for further explanation. I know, you're not offended, but the explanation still stands. Now drop and give me... a MILLION! 10 Servings of Fruits and Vegetables? Wow. Captain, I don’t know what planet you are from.

Perhaps I shall REVIEW the show later, because I think it is a light romp that sends very positive messages to all viewers. Any pedophelia or serial-killer vibes are 100% with the researcher and his Internet "research", not present in the show. Fwiw, Magnus Sherving (sp?) was an Olympic gymnast. He does what he does well, EXERCISES his way around. The show is lighthearted, the music is catchy, the characters are cheerful and silly, the message is HEALTHY, and the show deserves at the very least a Harmless rating. If you or your kids do not get at least 1hr of exercise and 10 servings of fruits and vegetables every day, then this show rates a definite QUEUE IT NOW! :-) I think the researcher here totally missed the point.
