Danger Rangers is an action-packed animated tv show that, at first glance, looks like every other high quality animated show. With a mission to reduce preventable childhood injuries, though, it’s one that you can let your kids watch completely guilt-free. Even if you’re a guilt-ridden kind of parent!

Each episode deals with different issues surrounding child safety in a very child-friendly and entertaining manner. I showed both Fires and Liars and
Mission 547: Safety Rules! to a group of 4 & 5 year olds and they not only sat and enjoyed both shows (not back to back, of course) but also were able to recall the lessons and answer questions about the safety rules from the show correctly once the show was over. I, the “media hater” “hard to convince kids tv critic” have nothing but good things to say about Danger Rangers!

See when it’s on in your area and check out the grown ups’ section of the website for more information. It even includes accompanying lesson plans and suggested co-viewing questions to ask your kids after the show in the resources area. The DVD’s are available for purchase at the Danger Rangers Store too! They retail for $12.99 each.
