"Special Agent Oso.... WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOME?!!?!"

In spite of how much this show really is helpful at explaining simple tasks in "three special steps" to help kids learn how to do things on their own, I have got so many issues with this show, it's unreal.

My child isn't that old, so I'm a little late jumping on the Disney Junior wagon, and have missed quite a few episodes (which I am rapidly being caught up on, mind you), but there are some big details I still haven't caught whatsoever.




Issue #1: Oso has a training exercise he must complete each episode... and helping the kids in the episode brings him to this grand realization at the end about whatever super-obvious mistake he was making in his exercise. This is all fine and dandy, but what is Oso even training for? There's a 'James Bond' kinda theme throughout the agent-related parts of the show, but there's never a clear indication of what exactly this 'unique stuffed bear' is preparing himself for. This is not a big deal, but it just slightly scratches the surface of why I'm a bit annoyed.



Issue #2: This bear.... is allowed to drive a badass little car, be in fucking rocketships, handle all this super-cool spy equipment that's totes srs..... and he cannot even brush his teeth properly. 


(Oso, gtfo of the car. You cannot drive.)

(I think that's the episode that finally just sent me over the edge.)


(Gtfo of space, bear!)

WHY IS HE ALLOWED TO HANDLE ALL OF THIS EQUIPMENT AND DRIVE AND TRAVEL AROUND WITH A JETPACK ON WHEN HE CAN'T EVEN BRUSH HIS TEETH OR RAKE A FREAKING PILE OF LEAVES?


I cannot deal with this.

Issue #3: Every time a child needs his help, he just walks/jetpacks/falls/whatever right into the home. He just comes right in!


(Good job, Grampa. Good job.)

Parents, WHY IS THIS LITTLE BEAR ALLOWED TO JUST WALTZ RIGHT INTO YOUR HOME WITH YOUR UNSUPERVISED CHILD? What if he decides that he doesn't want to help little Billy today, that he wants to do illegal and unspeakable things to him and then devour the remains of the carcass of your child? I bet drying that one dish for fifteen minutes straight might seem a little bit less important then, wouldn't it.

Issue #4: Shutterbug. 


Is shutterbug watching all the children, all the time? Do I really even need to elaborate on the implications of this? Which leads to the next concern......

Issue #5: So Mr. Dos is an unidentified, older-sounding gentleman that constantly watches children and sends stuffed animal 'agents' into their homes when their parents are being negligent as hell. Okay....... I'm just going to leave you with that one. Ponder on it, if you will.

Issue #6: Palm Pilot needs to lay off the happy pills. Seriously.


(She needs to CALM THE FUCK DOWN.)
Issue #7: And... really.


Oso, you aren't even panda colors. Go home.
