There's plenty to admire in this show, unusual animation (combining real- life elements), it's core themes of living a healthy lifestyle by planting vegetables etc, which is refreshingly original and it's songs, which are the shows strengths (particularly love the chicken song).
However the characters can be annoying at times, particularly 'Grubby' which has to be the most grating character ever created for a children's program. Whether its the actual actress or how the producers wanted her to perform, is so ludicrously over the top that whenever she appears, I have to change channels. (Kids TV makers forget who controls the remote).
Even dirtgirl's voice can be irritating at times. I would have liked to seen more of Scrapboy, but you can't fault it for the great songs and imaginative production. A real hit and miss affair.
