Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

I have to agree with everyone's review but have to give it another fantastic rap. I am not Irish nor do I have any family connections to Ireland but ever since I was a child, I am now 38, I have wanted to go to Ireland. I went there in 1990 for a brief time and I fell in love with everything about the country. This cartoon transports me back to Ireland every time I watch it. The characters are delightful, they have fun without being mean or stupid yet they are often silly, they take you back to being a child when you took pleasure in the simple beauty of life and friends and family were the most important things in your life. The accents, the characters, the story lines, everything about this show is brilliant. I love living in Australia but honestly dream of living in Ireland raising my children on a farm with my boyfriend. My boyfriend bought me a Jakers' DVD with 4 episodes on it and it would be one of the best gifts he has ever given me.

I tune in every day to watch Piggly Winks...and I don't have any kids. I love the premise of the show; an older Piggly Winks relaying life's lessons to his grandkids. I love the characters, especially Ferny and Dannon, but all the characters are enjoyable to watch. But mostly, I think this show is very well written. The story lines are easy to follow, but are presented with humor and subtle details that adults will find entertaining. The variety of characters give the show a fun diversity, and the details in the animation means you can re-watch it and see things you didn't see before. I am very happy that I found this show.

I'm pretty sure they write this for adults, and then just remove anything that isn't appropriate for kids. Just a laugh a minute. My eight-year-old caught me watching it and was amazed to see me laughing at a kid's show. Better than the vast majority of the sitcoms that run during prime time, Jaker's is worth recording this during the day and using it to fill in the dead spots on the television lineup during the evening. Remarkable how good a kid's show can be when a few good writers put their mind to making something durable. Keeping it accessible to young viewers makes this quite a trick, and Jaker's does it.Wiley the sheep sounds suspiciously like former Gov. William J. LePetomaine of Nevada. Career change?

Why isn't anyone talking about this show? Why isn't everybody watching it? Seriously, as far as kids shows go, this is a true landmark, and one of the finest things going on TV at the moment. I read that this show is aimed at children from 3-7 years old, but if that's the case, how come I, 19 years old, have been watching it every day for weeks? I never had too many hopes on television. I knew there were a couple of gems to be fished out of the swamp of sit-coms and aimless dramas, but I never thought a kids show, of all things, would put them all to shame. Why can't other writers watch this show and learn a few things about complexity and deepness in writing? The stories are rich, well paced, funny and constructive. Even the more subpar episodes put the latest seasons of The Simpsons on the trashbin (and I am a fan of the Simpsons). The characters are complex and extremely realistic. It truly surprised be how well the writers work these characters, and make pigs, ducks and bulls sound, act and FEEL like real children. They're right there, in front of your eyes, and you don't realize they are computer animated. And I thought that characters in shows like those could be shallow and bi-dimensional, and it would be fine, after all, it's just educational entertainment for children. Not with "Jakers!", though. With beautiful computer-animated graphics and solid voice acting, you know you're in for a real treat. I just can't believe a show as good as this can be done. And why are people still watching Clifford?
