And it's cool if you see the show in a different way that I do. I genuinely love this show and I don't see myself falling into their trap. The show is fun, lively has well written dialogue and good actors who are believable in their roles. I do understand where you're coming from; however part of what I love about the show is it's cuteness. I realize the storybook nature of the show is not going to appeal to a lot of people, which is why I fear this show may not last beyond the first season. My reason for not talking about the plot is I am trying to stay away from recapping the episode, but perhaps I should try to incorporate it a bit of the plot into the review. I wrote this based on the impression the episode left on me. I'm new at writing reviews, so bare with me. I will agree that Jim Dale's narration in this episode was over used, but it didn't take away from my enjoyment on a whole. BTW ....I did reread my post and damn, I need to proof read better before hitting send. You were nice not to mention it. Other opinions are never unwelcome. :) I can take criticism…or at least I try.

I love the shows premise, lead characters and actors but to butter this episode the way you did is a bit excessive (much like the show itself). This show just tries so hard to be cute when it doesn't have to. From the daisies to the dandelions to the pies to the rubber glove for carpool handjobs. It works so hard to be cute it forgets it's a story. And honestly, look at your review and you fell right into their trap. You praise its originality yet you say nothing in the review about what this weeks plot was. Seriously, it's a 15 minute story with 45 minutes of filler (singing, staring, narrating etc). If "cuteness" is all an audience gets out of it then how can that be a good review or a good show? I'm not attacking you. I just feel the show is already losing direction with so much focus on budgets and novelty and zero focus on story. We aren't 6 years old you know. (BTW. Jim Dale is a fantastic voice but he is used far too much. This isn't an audiobook, this is visual so let the audience understand a character with our eyes rather than overlong descriptions.)
