I cannot express how much my kids & I love this show. My 6 year old has been watching this since she was 2 and I thought she might have outgrown it by now but it is still her favorite series. My 3 younger children are just as enamored with Max & Ruby. There are so many times during any given episode that the 4 of them start cracking up over something so silly that it just fills me up with emotion to see them so joyful over such a sweet, innocent show. I know these days won't last forever so I'm savoring it while I can. I am bothered by some of the other posts that have such negative views on this gem of a show. Adults seem to be bothered that Ruby says "No" to Max too often. My kids say "No" to each other and they are usually not as patient and polite as Ruby is to her little brother. It is perfectly normal sibling behavior...besides, what is wrong with saying "No" to your kids once in a while? I just love the old-fashioned feel the show has about it...from the theme song, to the background music, to the wind-up toys Max plays with. It is a slow-paced, simple show that parents should appreciate in comparison with its competition. I let my kids watch everything from Sesame Street to SpongeBob to Harry Potter but they enjoy Max & Ruby the most. I also recommend buying the DVDs that are available now. The colors & artwork are so vivid & crisp.
