Being an Aussie I may be a little bias but I love these guys. The twins got addicted to them when we were home visiting family and of course it was on TV over there. I’m so glad they have it here too.

I love these guys too. They have had a very long and popular career here in Australia as comedians for grown ups. They call themselves the Umbilical Brothers. Check them out on You Tube. Very good mime, and rarely rude. So very clever. Try this link for a starter:

We (I’m the nanny) LOVE this show. I try (!) to let him watch less than an hour a TV while I’m with him, and he chooses The Upside Down Show almost always. (Spongebob is always popular too) Thank goodness for DVR/TiVO, its only on now at like 11 and 11:30 pm. I wish they had more episodes. We’ve seen them all 784753875 times. They are still funny to me too. I think the show has really helped his imagination!

Udder Chaos is one of my favorite songs. ;)

PlanningQueen – I love Charlie and Lola too. Maybe I just love shows where they have accents different than mine!

I LOVE the Upside Down show. I used to make sure we were home so we would get to watch it. Shane and David are the best. It hasn’t played here in a while:(.

Hahaha! That’s great! Our TV doesn’t get anything on it except signals from the VCR (still!) or DVD player, but our 2-year-old loves to watch things on YouTube. It’ll be nice to get out of the Sesame Street / Caillou rut with this!

We love this show and love that it is Australian (we live in Melbourne). My daughter loves Charlie and Lola (BBC).

Thanks for the recommendation! I’m always excited to find shows that encourage a little imagination!

My little brother is five and he thinks The Upside Down Show is just great. He's usually allowed to stay up late and watch them when they're on a 'grown up' show too, which I think he actually prefers. He also really likes The Secret Show and Charlie and Lola, but his favourite shows aren't actually kids shows. He is utterly devoted to Top Gear and The New Inventors.

We are PBS fans too. They share great television shows perfect for kids.

Melissa – That is super funny. They are a little too wacky sometimes, so I’m not surprised!
