It's a newer kids' show on nickelodean (sp?) and my ds loves it! But I can't find any videos anywhere. Any thoughts?

I went over to Nickjr.com,and they have the books. I don't think videos of the show are out yet. You could always tape them on your vcr. It's a really cute show,my daughter loves it.

Hi Julieboo..Is that the Max and Ruby story by Rosemary Wells? They have a few videos made of her books that you can by at teachers supply stores. I got one( Max's Dragon Shirt)on the Reading Rainbow series. These follow the books, but might be the same characters as the TV show.I live in California, and we have the Lakeshore Store, where teachers go to get bulletin board materials, stickers, and books..etc..You probably have a store like that in your area too...Good luck

Well, I called a teachers' store and Borders, Barnes&Nobles, and so far no luck. Maybe it's too soon. I think Max & Ruby have been on only a week and a day... Thanks for your info. I think I'll call a few more teacher stores today. (Yes, M&R is based on Rosemary Wells books.)

Who's Ruby and why in the heck would anyone have or want a video of me with her?! Hope it's not porno!!!

Max, it's about as far from porno as you can get!!! It is about as "gentle" a show as you can find. My son does not like anything with any "mean guys", even an episode of Barney that featured The little 3 pigs, got him freaked out (cuz of the wolf). Max & Ruby seems to be his current favorite--right up there with the Teleubbies (uggh!!) I will do ANYTHING to not have to watch the tubbies!!!!

My 3 yr. old son loves this show! Max reminds me of him so much. Anyway..something has been bugging me about Ruby. What's going on in this family? Is Ruby Max's sister? I've never seen their parents,just Grandma dropping by occasionally. Ruby is worked to the bone, putting Max to bed, making his meals, keeping him occupied. Are they latch-key children? Ok...enough ranting...any thoughts?

I agree. I find Ruby almost irritating, buit she has the patience of a saint!!! Ruby is Max's sister. But what happened to the parents? I've wondered that too. Is this a toddler version of Party of Five?
Somehow though, it is one of the very few shows that my three year old will sit thru. He hates any kind of a show with "mean guys", so all Disney movies are out.

Lol Julieboo And she absolutely does have the patience of a saint.

Just have to add...we HAD to buy strawberries today because of the episode with Max not eating his egg and wanting the strawberries. My ds has never wanted them , but has eaten a ton of them since I bought them. He acts out the cartoon when I give him some saying, " No strawberries Max." and then tells me No eat the egg?" Maybe we're watching this too much. Lol

Too funny Willsmom! Ryan wanted strawberries too because of that episode! Let's see if they'll do it with green beans!

From today's episode, we can assume that Ruby is about 7 (she was impressed that the one bunny boy was 7 "and a half!"). Now would you let your 7 year old take a bus (especially with a 2 year old)??? I think someone needs to call DCFS. And what kind of a grandmother knows about a situation like this and does nothing about it???
