Super why the show is so pointless the it is supposed to help children read but mindless kids don't study the show or pay attention that they are supposed to learn something! Not to talk about the kids powers. Of course there is super why's power to read but can't all the other kids in the show read to even the dog can read and he know all the definitions of the words so the dog is smarter than super why!

This is a great show. It is a shame welfare recipients aren't likely to see its value or be able to afford it in their mind. Maybe I'm wrong about how helpful this or other programs like it could be to potentially breaking the cradle to grave welfare cycle for some. I know they don't stand a chance without enrichment, I wonder how enriching (profitable) this program is for its producers. They have their kids to worry about and a plethora of bills to pay too. Great price!
