There are some things I will give this show props for.
Getting kids to be active and eat well, which is the reason this series exists.
Robbie Rotten, the bad guy of this series, almost never fails to make me laugh, mainly because of his actions and the way he prepares his schemes. (Rest in peace, Stefan Karl Stefansson)
However, there are a couple of problems I have with some of the health messages this show gives.
The lesson about oral hygiene. I get they're telling kids how many times to brush to each side in order to clean their teeth, but haven't they heard of something called toothpaste? And also, Sportacus brushes his teeth much too fast every time.
The lesson about eating well. I get that they're saying "Candy is a sometime food" and "Fruits and vegetables will boost your health", but it seems as though they're only eating fruits and vegetables as if they're rabbits. How about telling children to eat stuff like meat, grains, fish, noodles, cereal, milk, cheese, bread, and other foods apart from fruit and vegetables.
Like I said, it's not a bad kids show, but the oral and nutrition messages leave a lot to be desired.
