A show about babies that is anything but childish

When this show first premiered, I though to myself "A show about babies? Sounds, well, childish." How wrong I was...

This show is by and large one of the best things Nick has ever done, it has clever writing, tons of Fridge Brilliance and likable characters. While the animation is a little, wonky, the storytelling is solid. And thankfully for a show who's main cast is in diapers, there is not too much potty humor. Which is a good thing, in my opinion. I hate excessive potty humor and gross-out. The plots are good and, while in the later seasons somewhat predictable, well written. Character interaction is good and never feels forced. The idea of showing the world from a babies perspective is refreshing and creative. None of the characters felt flat or one-note, and it is in my opinion that the show deserves its status as a cartoon (or at least Nicktoon) icon. The fact that people are still clamoring for its return is a testament to the shows popularity and special place in fan's hearts, more than a decade after it was canned. While (to my knowledge) the show has not had a full DVD release, it is available on Hulu plus, and I fully recommend that you check it out.

There's a DVD Vanilla Edition release on Amazon.com only, but I'd recommend you don't buy it. It's just the episodes, nothing else. Not even goddamn subtitles.

Yeash, thanks for the heads up! If I'm going to spend money on a DVD contemplation, i want it to have a ton of extras.
