I have been watching this with my daughter for a while and after 3 or 4 seasons this is what i sorted out of what's going on... There is this insane rich orphan kid called Ryder that uses his family money to buy (make?) this huge modified vehicles, like super trucks and crazy planes, this in order to save a city from the evil schemes of the monopoly top hat old guy and a bunch of innocent cats, in order to fight crime this kid uses some mutant dogs (that probably were victims of Ryder paranormal experiments ) that can drive cars and planes with their minds....
People in the City are completely brainless and are always doing stupid things ending up in a complete mess that can be sorted out only by Paw Patrol....
I will give this 5 stars and check some more seasons in order to try to discover Who were Ryder missing parents and how did they got loaded with money.

My son loves this show, but in this particular episode I have one really curious question. When Mr. Porter's oven blows up and he can no longer cook his famous chili. He calls on Ryder and his pups to help. So they come up with a plan to cook the chili outside because Mr. Porter's stove is broken. You mean to tell me that in all of Adventure Bay nobody else has a damn stove? I mean where does Ryder and Mayor Goodway cook their meals for the day. Really I am seriously concerned about how everybody else cooks their meals. Also why is that rubble is cooking the chili and not Ryder or Mayor Goodway. Can anybody help me figure this out?

My 4-year old has graduated from Gecko's Garage (his favourite when 2 years old), Peppa Pig (when 3) to now Paw Patrol.
It's been fun to follow this progression with him, and especially now I can see him enjoy some real adventure-storytelling: epic calamities & fantastic rescues with a well-written cast of likeable heroes. It's never too scary, but has enough jeopardy to make it the first 'exciting' thing this 4-year old has watched. He loves the problem-solving nature and it's seeping nicely into real-life, for example when he's got a conundrum when building his tracks he'll stand up excitedly and proclaim: "I have an idea!".
The stories are solid, the support cast are fun (the two Mayors add a lot of character) and the 3D CGI-graphics don't get tiresome.
I try to watch episodes with him, it's good to talk together about what's happening. But as fellow parents know it's nice to take the time-out and do something 'child-free' for a bit. I make sure he watches only full episodes (or one of the feature-length titles) so he gets the full narrative experience.
Warning: don't look for this on Youtube: there's no full episodes, just randomly-edited long compilations and unofficial troll-made content with adult themes. Amazon Prime should have full episodes, as well as other reliable sites out there, tho' I recommend having an adblocker on. DVDs are hard to find here in Europe.

Loved this show until they made fighting bad guys the main purpose. Go back to just doing good things because it's the right thing to do! Also love when they add new pups! Get rid of mayor humdinger and all the other characters that are not setting a good example for our children.

People need to settle down and realize this is a CARTOON FOR KIDS!!! This is not some movie nominated for its: Plots, characters or its ideas. It's a GREAT cartoon that shows kids the importance of: teamwork, helping others, responsibility and doing the right thing. It's a clean and good show for any kid.

While it has some qualities of most Nick Jr shows,the animation seems decent,and the characters,although annoying,are tolerable for the older kids and up! And Season 1 is the least favorite,but it is still not bad. Unlike other nick jr. shows which have very boring ideas,this has some rather creative ideas,like how they added more pups and more vehicles. The girl thing is really mixed. On one side it promotes girl power. But that being said,there is only 2 female members in the team. But with that said,despite the 6 out of 10 rating,I recommend you watch it.

This is possibly the lowest quality kids show around. None of the story or character ideas make sense and have just been randomly chosen by the writers "because it's fun". Ryder generally chooses Chase for missions when there are far better pups for the job.
Episodes rarely have a message or lesson to be learnt. It's a show entirely for entertainment and kids love it for that.
If you can avoid your child watching it, great. But even one episode and they'll be hooked.

I see why PAW Patrol is so popular - it's funny, but nothing too harsh for a preschool-aged viewer. Unlike most preschool-oriented programs, this show never tries to "hammer home" educational concepts or gets too repetitive (although I must say that the few episodes involving a minor character named Alex were quite bad). The six pups' names were a bit difficult to get down at first, but it seems as if they're engraved in my head now. As for Ryder - the boy in charge of the whole operation - he's a good role model; unlike some TV show "leaders" I've seen, he demonstrates leadership in a very positive way. Cap'n Turbot, the scientist character, is also a positive role model who might just inspire young fans to learn more about science and biology. There are definitely messages about teamwork and overcoming differences in each episode. Overall, I think that PAW Patrol has the potential to become a kiddie show classic like Dora the Explorer or SpongeBob.

I used to watch this show when I was younger (used to watch when I was 6-7, now 14), and it really grew on me. I stopped watching after season 2 (mainly due to me being attached to Pokémon instead). So I don't have the best knowledge on the newer spin-offs. But for me, the show was enjoyable and teaches children to help people in need, and teamwork. The main characters are very fun to watch too, like Chase, Rubble and Marshall. Coming back to watch it 7 years later and I found out how annoying and dumb the adult characters are. I mean, they make the PAW Patrol look like actual grown ups with their maturity. Not only they are immature, but they are some of the most annoying characters on the show. Take for example, Captain Turbot, Mayor Goodway, Mayor Humdinger, etc. Though the newer villains are (surprisingly) less of a headache to watch. So to sum it up, it's a good show that teaches values on teamwork, helping people, and more. But only if you can get over the side characters that are the most immature adults on the face of the earth.

This isn't the WORST thing your kids could watch....but it's not going to do them any favors. This entire series is very obviously created to sell merchandise, and based on the 55 million lunchboxes, pillowcases and millions of little figures, one would assume it is achieving its goal.
This entire series teaches children nothing, and the characters that have zero personality use endless specialized mechanical tools to problem solve.
The adults are morons and the leader a boy who has no family. There is zero character development, cats are inexplicably demonized, and the pups (main characters) all have stupid phobias. The story lines are carbon copies of the last episodes and extremely uncreative and the animation style is boring and uninspired.
I really dislike this series and don't want to insult my toddlers intelligence with it. I've seen worse on tv, but this is far from the best. It's just empty filler, not educational, not fun, just boring. If you want your kids to request every single stupid piece of merchandise based on Paw Patrol then just show them this show.

Paw Patrol is an absolute must-see for kids! It's a show that's both entertaining and educational, with amazing characters and storylines that keep kids engaged. The puppies are adorable and each has a unique personality, which makes it easy for kids to relate to them. The show teaches kids important values like teamwork, problem-solving, and helping others. It's a perfect show for parents who want to keep their kids entertained and learning at the same time. Paw Patrol is a show that parents can feel good about letting their kids watch. It's wholesome, fun, and teaches kids important life lessons. The animation is top-notch, the voice acting is fantastic, and the stories are always engaging. If you're looking for a show that your kids will love and that you can feel good about, I can't recommend Paw Patrol enough!

I have a lot of complains for example i find the animation to be bland, the characters act very clueless and annoying, the show can be repetitive and formulaic and the plot keeps on repeating non stop man i find this show to be meh and not as good as any other shows on nick jr.

I'll make it plain and simple: it's a kid's show placed in a non-sensical universe (where dogs can talk while all other animals can't) with unimportant plots, stupid and annoying characters and forced situations in which the help of the PAW Patrol is needed for no apparent reason.
It's clearly just meant to sell as much merchandise as possible, but other than that it's pretty harmless.
The animation is decent and there was clearly put some effort in this during production, which makes it appealing for small kids...which is also the biggest problem...having to endure this borefest for the sake of your children only to hear them scream for more and leaving you with spending your hard earned money on stuff no one needs makes me want to rue the day this was ever invented.
But what can you do?
Kids love it...!
PAW Patrol is a charming animated series designed specifically for young children, fulfilling its purpose of providing straightforward and educational entertainment. The show cleverly integrates themes of teamwork, problem-solving, and kindness into short, engaging stories. Its colorful characters and the adventurous setting of Adventure Bay captivate young viewers while imparting gentle life lessons.
The plots of PAW Patrol episodes are uncomplicated, which is one of the show's main strengths. Young audiences can easily connect with the lovable characters and their challenges. Each episode delivers small but meaningful lessons about responsibility, collaboration, and creative problem-solving, making the show both entertaining and enriching for children.
The characters are thoughtfully designed, each with unique traits that enhance both the educational and entertainment value of the series. Visually, the show adopts a minimalist aesthetic. While this design works well for its target audience, offering clarity and simplicity, the graphics could have been more detailed to appeal to a wider age range or parents watching alongside their children.
The music in PAW Patrol features cheerful, child-friendly themes that complement the tone of the series. Additionally, the voice acting effectively conveys the personalities of the characters, ensuring that the overall sound design aligns perfectly with the needs of its young audience.
The show's strengths lie in its lovable characters, positive morals, and clear, enjoyable stories. However, its simple visuals may not resonate with older viewers or those seeking a more visually sophisticated experience. That said, these criticisms seem irrelevant given the show's focus on children and its successful engagement with this demographic.

Paw Patrol shows children the importance of being involved in the city you reside in. The pups are mirrors of real life superheros like firemen, police officers, or sea rescue. Also, the interactions the dogs have with the people like the mayor is great! Yes kids should know the three the big three....(reading, writing, math)....but they should have an idea of how to get along with people they meet day to day through basic communication. Wrapped in great bright colors which children like and good voice acting this show looks pretty good to me! Sometimes as reviewers and adults, its hard to review shows meant for children many years younger than us. Before saying negative things about this show, look to your inner kid, or better yet look at YOUR kid when he watches this show....As long as its educational and your child is entertained, what more can you ask for!! Great to know shows like this are still out there.
Delusional youth feeds stray dogs treats and pretends to go on life saving missions. Accompanied by a crazy chicken lady and a thief who both pretend they're mayors.

While some of the reviews obvious anger at a kid's show having talking dogs is entertaining, the fact is no show was watched more at my mom's day home, because it grabbed the kid's attention more than anything. The same was true for my younger family members when they were younger. Because I was often babysitting tried to get them to watch kids shows that I liked as a kid like SpongeBob but in the end the kids always circled back to PAW Patrol. The show does exactly what it should, no more, no less. And heck, there were even a few rare gems where I had to chuckle. Are you, as an adult gonna enjoy? No. Well, probably not. Will your kid eat it up? Yes; and that's what matters.

Six pups, of which five are boys and only one is a girl. She's dressed in pink and gets scared sometimes. Led by Ryder, another (human) boy. Mayor of the town is a woman of colour - who is portrayed as incompetent and constantly in need of the help of the boys. Sets a GREAT example for my daughter.
It's a kids show. My 4 year old enjoys it, sings the song and it doesn't have anything negative in it. I find it strange adults reviewing a kids show as if measures up to adult shows. If you don't have kids then why bother reviewing a show made for kids. The target audience is just learning to count. Go eat your 3rd big mac and mountain dew, put down your greasy keyboard and do something worth while. If you have constructive review directed to those with kids so it can help parents decide to let their kids watch it, that's a different story. But reviewing it solely because it doesn't stand up towards a show with a target audience that at least college age, then what is the point? Your opinion is irrelevant.

First off, these shows are so repetitive you know how every one of them will go before they even begin. This doesn't seem to bother the kids though. The biggest problem I see with this show an all the copycat shows like it is that there are no consequences for any of the wrong doings by the show's protagonist which is nearly always the mayor of a neighboring town.
What children can learn from this show? 1. How to help others. 2. How you won't be held accountable for your bad actions.

Truly love this show. It's amazing to watch such creativity come out of one show. Family loves watching the show. It has a ton adventure and problem solving all in one. More Paw Patrol please!

PAW Patrol Is A Very Cute Show! The Pups Are Really Adorable And Have Interesting Personalities! And Most Of The Episodes (Especially In The Earlier Seasons) Have This Almost Magical Feel To Them! Where The Characters Are Very Nice And Kind, But Never To The Point Where It Becomes Annoying. The Only Real Thing I Can Call Close To A Gripe With The Show Is, As The Series Went On, There Became A Little Bit Too Many Episodes Realting To The Shows Villan Mayor humdinger. And I Guess Seeing Merchandise For It Everywhere Is A Little Considering. But Other Than Those Very Minor Nitpicks, The Show Is Awesome! Sure It's Not For Everyone. But For Me, This Truly Is A 10/10!

This show gets all raves and what not but what exactly is the message? Most of the missions that need to be solved could be done in 5 seconds with Skye and her helicopter but I am assuming since shes a female and this show lacks female characters. The villagers are idiots and who would go to a 11 year old for help anyways? These dogs are examples of how slavery works. Alex I wonder where his parents are? The Mayors are both dimwits, this show I think is suppose to make fun of liberatarians lol. But this show lacks education or female characters I know with so many cartoons out there this one gets alot of good reviews but I think there is a billion better cartoons out there.

It's no surprise this show has gone on for so long. The story line is so creative and the pups are adorable. (I just wish there were more episodes on how we met Rocky, Skye, Zuma, etc...) The variety in the types of pups is amazing and the characters have such great personalities. I watched this when I was 5 and I'm still watching 9 years later. The show has grown on me so much and it hurts to see people not liking it. (It's play, we have our own opinions. That's what makes us different.) The theme song just gets stuck in your head and you sing it all day long. It is truly an amazing show.
