I can appreciate what some of the parents have said about this show: It does have a nice "old time feel" (artistically speaking.) The characters look like they stepped right out of a children's book. What I don't like about the show is what others have already said (which is 'where are the parents of Max & Ruby'?) I do not like that Ruby walks around in a Big-Sister la-la land imposing her monotone agenda on her younger brother Max. Max is a little bastard who just wants to thwart her sisters plans or just has no regard for his sister's wishes. Once again, Max needs Mom & Dad to step in & give him a TimeOut and/or tell Ruby to sit down & be quiet for a little while! LOL I don't like that there is no consequence for bad behavior on this show. My (then 5 year-old) male twins saw an episode where Max was sneaking around taking things from Ruby. They thought it was sooooo funny that they started swiping little things from their Mom & me. When I told them that being sneaky was not nice, they both looked at me confused. "But Max was being sneaky," they said. Reading between their lines they were saying, 'Max was being sneaky but no one told him it wasn't right to act that way.'
I don't let them watch Max & Ruby anymore.
