The Doizee Club is our most sucessful show ever and here are a few reasons why:
- The problem with most kiddie shows that try to pass themselves as "educational" is that they insult the viewer's attention span or IQ. Let's take Dora for example, I can live without her spouting..."To get through the forest we have to tiptoe. So stand up! Stand up please!" and I can also live without Barney telling us so bulls***t as "a stranger is a friend you just haven't met". Let's face it, Sesame Street lost most of it's charm after Jim Henson passed away (r.i.p) but the muppets on the hand didn't (heck, the muppets are STILL good) and Blues Clues was as dumb as it gets. The Doizee Club on the other hand actually is education and teaches the viewers things that are actually useful.
- Most kiddie shows are filled with stupid musical numbers. Barney and The Wiggles are probably the most notorious examples of this. The music we have for the Doizee Club is for the most part an original score. Doizee is quite a good singer and actress despite being a puppet ladybug. She sometimes lipsyncs just like Andy Kaufman did on SNL.
- The characters in most kiddie shows never seem to be entertaining enough. Doizee on the other hand is so much more different than your typical kiddie show host/character. She may not be able to speak English but her skeals (squeals) and other funny sounds make up for it. Doizee's also quite a good singer and unlike her competiton over in New Zealand (his name is Bumble, he's a bee) she is both entertaining and a good teacher. Sure she's a bit clumsy at times but that's just the way she is.
- Most kiddie shows end up going stale after so many years of being on the air and the writers run out of ideas. The doizee club on the hand doesn't, we keep the show fresh by adding new characters and storylines in each episode.
