Why We Rated This on for Ages 7 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    The top agent team consists of a man and a woman who work well together and appear respectful of each other's talents. Potty humor includes storylines about a high-ranking leader who eats her boogers and a vicious wedgie attack on another prominent figure.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Lots of cartoon bumps, crashes, fist fights, and falls from heights, but no lasting injuries.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About The Secret Show

Parents need to know that this British import cartoon about covert missions and top-secret agencies will have tweens laughing out loud with its witty humor, corny characters, and ridiculous storylines. The only potential eyebrow raiser for parents is the occasional dabble in potty humor (like a world leader who eats her boogers), but kids won't mind the gross factor. Obvious spy genre spoofs, offbeat humor, and the show's unique style might give parents a few giggles as well.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about government agents and agencies. What are their functions/jobs? Why is it important to keep some of those jobs secret? Do any parts of this show seem at all believable? Should they, or is the purpose just to be silly? How does the animation style affect tweens' impression of the show? Would another style be better suited to it? Why or why not? How do you think a live-action version of this show might be different?

    This show is so cool!

    The episodes are funny, the music is good, this is one of my favorites (along with Avatar and Viva Pinata). My favorite episodes are The Ball of Spong, Purrfect Villan, and Mission to Monkeynut Island. In The Ball of Spong, aliens wanted to destroy Earth because they wanted The Ball of Spong, but in the end, Earth was saved in a funny way! In Purrfect Villan, Victor was teleported with a cat, and started acting like one. In Mission to Monkeynut Island, Victor and Anita explore an island.

    I rate this title on for age 8 and give it 5.0

    I laughed a lot!

    The humor is great and my 7 year old daughter loves this as well! The animation is fun as well. As for the violence, it is no more violent than say Bugs Bunny and cartoons of that sort. Anyhow, I have graduated from watching SpongeBob and onto THE SECRET SHOW! It's my favorite new cartoon!
