Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Peep and the Big Wide World earns its spot. Visually distinctive and narratively ambitious, Peep and the Big Wide World operates well above the genre average. Peep is a newly hatched chicken who goes on daily adventures with his friends Chirp the robin and Quack the duck. The pals live a large urban park they call "the big wide world" and is the setting for all their lessons. Peep learns specific science concepts on his travels, while the series also incorporates real kids playing and experimenting in their own big wide worlds. Jamie Watson and Joan Cusack bring more to it than the format typically demands. 5 seasons (2004–2011) gave the story room most shows never get. What makes Peep and the Big Wide World more than a curiosity is writing that would hold up in any format. Every minute repays the time invested, and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

If you have been sleeping on Peep and the Big Wide World because of the format, the format is not the issue here.
