Sooty & Co. (1993–1998) User Reviews

Cool little show.

Its a lil cool children show.

It has the typical puppets, learning, fun, PG. The puppets have character and personality. So much fun for 22 minutes.

Verdict: You see them once you see them all.

Amazing show!

I can say with great admiration that Sooty & Co was one of the greatest kids shows ever! It had everything that the original series had, and much more! The camper-van was a great addition to the series, and the show ran for an enjoyable 6 years. It was a shame to see dear Matthew Corbett retire as, for me, he was the 'grown-up' of kids TV, and was the star of the show! I needed to make sure his hard work was recognised.

Sooty & Co

When I was younger, this used be one of my favourite puppet shows ever created. Sooty was created in the 50s by the presenter Matthew Corbett's father, and he is still as popular as back then. Matthew Corbett is just the best friendly helpful presenter of this wonderful batch of stories. Sooty Bear, along with his shop buddies at Sooty & Co Sweep the Dog, Soo the Panda Bear, and cousin Scampy Bear all have wonderful stories throughout this hilarious family show. Sometimes, I thought Sweep, my favourite puppet, used to dominate the show more than Sooty. They've have stories about elastic, Label the dog, wetting the bed (with Sooty's water pistol), Soo obsession with horses, a theme park, rubbish with wood, precious blankets, Sweep's relatives, and many more wonderful ideas. They've also had some good guests, most memorable for me was Rod, Jane and Freddy from Rainbow with their wonderful singing. This is a brilliant family show. Very good!

Bring this back on TV!

First of all, that seven is too low for a show this good. The last three of four episodes where Richard and Liana join may have been a bit disappointing due to there being no Matthew being silly incidents, but other from that the show is epic. The first show with Scampi in all the way through and a different setting. Sooty, Sweep, Soo and Scampi have better looks in this show and the animation is better. Talent is used in this show. Humour is used.

Soo To The Rescue is one of the funny ones if you're looking at Sweep's sense of humour.

Soo's Babies was another classic Sweep example.

The breakdown service episode was interesting and funny.

The Tidy Box was good.

Sooty's stain remover was a creative one which inspires us with our creative writing.

Out of the Sooty Show, Sooty And Co, Sooty Heights, Sooty, Sooty 2011, my favourite would a hard choice. The newest Sooty is funny the first few times other from the atrocious episode Cow Capers. If Scampi or Butch were used in the show then I'd like it more but Sooty and Co is one of the better ones.
