I love this program! I have been studying Japanese and I am able to catch a lot of what Jay is saying. So for me it started out as a learning tool. I keep watching the program because it is so much fun. Jay is truly funny and the puppeteers are so professional the puppets seem to be real people. I also love that I can learn about Japanese culture by watching this show. It has become my favorite TV program in English (my native language) and Japanese.
