Dora The Explorer - you'd love it Popeye! Dora is a young Mexican girl who aspires, through her animated adventures, to teach English to Spanish kids and Spanish to English kids. She has many adventures (as the title of the show suggests) with various characters - mainly animals who for some reason can only speak Spanish, apart from her faithful companion Boots (a chimpanzee in Wellingtons) who only seems to speak English. She solves everyone's problems and all ends well. Dora also happens to be the bane of many parents - me included - whose offspring are captivated by her predictable predicaments and ability to solve them. We parents meanwhile are sent whacky by the constant repetition of every word uttered, the obviousness of it all, and the maddeningly frequent and dim witted songs and sayings featured in the show. It was a happy day indeed, the day my youngest stopped wanting to watch it. How FB can possibly find anything of interest in this whole affair is a mystery. One which I feel, says more about FB that it does about Dora, perhaps. E
