I know one reviewer was up in arms because no one said "Merry Christmas", but other than that and a few "new wave" ideas (like one minor character who "doesn't eat meat") this show is just too cute to rate negatively. I'm a 67 year old retiree with no kids and I don't know how I chanced upon this show, but it is head-and-shoulders above the rest of the Nick Jr. line-up.
Butterbean is "the very best boss" that you wish your boss was like! But her 6-year old sister Cricket is the real star of the show, always wanting to help out, but her inexperience in life can get her into bad situations.
The show teaches perseverance, teamwork (the catchy song "Let's Get Cooking!") and life skills, most notably a beginner's guide to cooking that should inspire youngsters to help out in the kitchen and put food on the table.
The 3D animation is masterful! All-in-all, Butterbean's Cafe is just plain CUTE, and I hope it continues!
