Has anyone heard of this new show on Disney Junior called Doc McStuffins? It's about this little girl and her stuffed animals who come to life via a magic stethoscope she wears. There's a dragon named Stuffy (voiced by a more grownup "Cousin Oliver" from the Brady Bunch, Robbie Rist) a hippo named Hallie, a snowman named Chilly, and Doc's favorite, a lamb named Lambie. :)

Doc's mom is a dr. too, and Doc tries to emulate her and repair any broken toys she finds. I'm 20 years old, but I love this show...I just think it's one of the cutest kiddie shows I've ever seen. Does anyone like it?

I've seen it, yes, but I don't like it that much. Our 9 yo likes it though, so I tend to see some episodes. I have this habit of looking for errors in kids tv shows. That show called Special Agent Oso bugs the hell out of me. When they count down at the end of a mission, the seconds last 2-3 seconds each. I see errors in those kid shows all the time, so much that it has almost turned into a hobby. It bugs my wife :P

Thanks for posting this. No, I haven't seen it, but my nieces are over the moon for it.
Now I can be a "cool" aunt and talk to them about it.

You're welcome, GreyGirl - it's a pretty cute show, IMO.

Blownmind - That's interesting about the "seconds" in Special Agent Oso....I notice little details like that all the time, too. :)

One thing I'm starting to find a bit annoying about Doc McStuffins (but thought it was funny the first few times) is how the stuffed snowman (Chilly) seems to need constant reminders that he's a PLUSH snowman and not real....for instance, he'll say something like, "I hope I don't melt!" to which his friends reply, "Chilly, you're a toy, you're not really made of snow, etc etc." I mean, I thought it was funny the first few times, but after awhile, you start to think, "Just how many times do we need to have this conversation??" lol He does this in pretty much every episode.

I'm sure the little kids watching think Chilly's running gags are hilarious, tho. :) As for me, I'm 20.
