A wonderful show featuring nice, smart, athletic girls without attitude
My two older daughters (ages 7 and 5 1/2) immediately fell in love with this show, and so did I!
<Warning: the next paragraph is a rant!> I am so sick of children's TV shows featuring snotty, over sexualized, wealthy, scantily clad, sarcastic and/or rude children who have minimal (if any) adult supervision. A great example: Jessie on the Disney channel. These children talk back, show off about their wealth, act obnoxiously, and can anyone explain why Emma is wearing cocktail dresses to a playground in Central Park?! And while we're telling our children to be nice to each other and to strangers, these kids yell at each other, call each other stupid. make fun of each other and insult intelligence, all with a laugh track to tell our kids, "Hey, that's funny stuff!" It's exactly how I *don't* want my kids to behave! <end rant>
And then - POOF - amazon delivers a new show featuring 3 best friends who treat each other so nicely. They are looking out for each other, and the main character even (GASP!) apologizes to her younger brother. The girls aren't sporting short skirts and high heels, and they genuinely care about each other. WHOA! And it's really fun to watch, too!
Bravo! Kudos to amazon for this show. I hope we see more "Just Add Magic" and more shows like it!
