The other conventions of the show are equally banal, from the horrid “Chase is on the case!” and “Paw Patrol! Go go go go go go go!” catchphrases to the cacophony of sirens, flashing lights, and revving engines. Shows like Daniel Tiger and Sesame Street and pretty much every other kid’s show ever attempt to teach kids important information and/or life lessons.īeyond this lack of purpose, Platzer says that Paw Patrol “is physically unpleasant to take in.” The theme song sucks and the puns are too complex for kids to understand and too idiotic for adults to enjoy. It’s “one of the few children’s programs that neither tries to entertain parents nor encourages kids to become better people.” Parents who’ve spent time in Thunder Bay will have to agree. It’s that Paw Patrol has “disdain for anything remotely edifying.” The author of the piece, novelist Brian Platzer, says the problem isn’t that it doesn’t make sense (which, to be clear, it doesn’t). Its ubiquity also means it’s the deserving target of many a takedown, including one just published in Vulture.

The popularity of Paw Patrol is especially grating because there are so many actually great kids’ TV shows out there.

More than most children’s television shows, it’s excruciating for parents to watch, a political and aesthetic disaster, a monument to inanity that will have you wishing like hell for your kids to age out of the show’s target demographic-and fast. If your kids have been taken in by the do-gooder pups of Paw Patrol, we’re sorry.
