| Go, Diego, Go! Welcome to the Banana Republic of Diego-land. A place where children (and sometimes Monkeys) are legally allowed to drive jeeps and where the sinister dealings of King Momo in his hilltop fortress overshadow events. Diego is the older cousin of Dora The Explorer and lives in a rain forest inhabited by all sorts of endangered species. Here he and his sister Alicia do all sorts of unwarranted meddling with the delicate ecosystem, all in the name of Animal Rescue. Diego's dangerously negligent parents allow him to head off on a bizarre array of dangerous acts. Baby Jaguar is often to be seen by his side and the pair overcome a series of challenges in each episode. Sister Alicia is lazy, and would rather be hanging out with the boys from King Momo's "crops" plantation than doing any kind of work. There's a classic episode where Diego heads through all manner of dangers to take Condors to their new parents, only for Alicia who was at the rescue centre at the start of the show, to roll up in the 4*4 as Diego arrives. Probably visiting a boyfriend who works on King Momo's "harvests" - anyway she's always noticeably at the back of the queue when there's hard work involved. Look out for our favourite euphemism in the show - the repeatedly used "... are afraid of.." for "... are eaten by...". As in "Chinchillas are afraid of Pumas". Our main problem with the show is that there are only four episodes. OK, that's an exaggeration - a quick glance at the always reliable (?) Wikipedia tells us there are 35, but they always show the same ones and the song "Chito and Rita are Spectacle Bears" haunts my dreams. Back to Parents Guide To Kids TV |
