Although we would like to indoctrinate our young into Geek Culture from birth, there are things they do not understand at various ages. Other times they may not have the attention span. Enter Pokoyo. Now this show is not Geeky per say, but since it mentions things like caterpillars turning into butterflies and concepts like sharing and telling the truth we love this at our house.

The characters in Pokoyo do not do a lot of talking, that is mostly left to Stephen Fry who plays Narrator. However, when Pokoyo does say something it is relatively coherent which is sometimes missing in a show aimed at toddlers. The episodes are only about seven minutes or so a piece, which works out very well for my kids because they love to run around all day and do not tend to watch that much television.

You can catch quite a few episodes on Netflix, but not all of them. I am working on buying the dvd's just so that they can see some new ones. This feels lke a show that will have staying power in my household... For someone with just one or two children it might not, but with us the children are staggered in age.
