Like most Hollywood productions, this show is really not about moving the plot along but about sentimentality and pointless dialog and backstory. You end up becoming involved in the story for a couple of minutes then have to endure 10 minutes of characters 'relating' to one another that has nothing to do with the plot. It gets tedious.

Yes, this is aimed at children with its simplistic messaging and life lessons but it's all so boring! It doesn't help that the Penny character's sarcasm is bereft of humor and she becomes more annoying than interesting. And so pointless. Everyone is warned over and over not to talk to Dr. Smith but they keep doing it over and over and, like with Penny, the actor playing Smith is irritating. Oh well, someone's making a lot of money off this and I guess that's the point isn't it?
