My son has been a fan of Oobi since he was a year old. In his early years, he was consumed with the show. His earliest language and his earliest echolalic scripts drew heavily from Oobi-style "simple" talk. The rest of us loved the show too. We loved the slow-paced scenes, the quaint little sets, the sweetness of the plot lines; and most of all we loved how happy Oobi made my son.
