Synopsis

Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman, sometimes shortened as Fetch!, is a children's television series for children ages 6–12 on PBS during the PBS Kids Go! block of educational programming. It is a game show/reality show that is hosted by an animated anthropomorphic dog named Ruff Ruffman who dispenses challenges to the show's real-life contestants. The series ran for five seasons and 100 episodes from May 29, 2006 to November 4, 2010 on PBS, with 30 contestants in that time. In June 2010, WGBH announced that the series would end due to lack of funding. In June 2008, the series received its first Emmy for Best Original Song for its theme.

AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
lucas_gross I loved this show as a kid. It's a genuine shame it was discontinued. I still look back to the seasons that I don't remember and still love the show. One of the best parts is that the contestants are actually really contestants. Usually, shows like this tend to have actors and the whole game show is fake. Fetch was different. They did send videos in to join Fetch, and when they did come, they were encouraged to improvise. Again, this show was amazing. I loved this show, and I still do.
YungRapunxel212 This is the greatest PBS show there ever will be. I will refer to this series as Fetch. Fetch is a spectacular game show that interacts with kids. My favorite animated character was Blossom the cat. I loved Ruff Ruffman,too. I love how it makes the kids go use clues to find things. And if some kids did not get picked they could have gotten bonus points. I remember coming home from school and turning this show on. It is very suitable for children, it is on the PBS network, but nothing violent, sexual, or no language. Like I said before, this is the best PBS show ever.7-
guitarcrazzy135 Several times while watching this, I've noticed that the situations the kids are put in can be solved much more simply than the shows makes them. For instance, one group of kids had to get the remote which controlled a toy boat with a clue in it on across a pool from the kids. The remote was in a basket floating in the pool. So instead of just swimming to the remote and grabbing it, they had to spend somewhere between 30 minutes to a whole hour constructing a long pole which they used to slide under a section of the remote to pick it up. The makers of the show should have put the kids in situations in which the kids had to do a certain thing instead a much simpler and quicker way of acquiring the next clue. Also, usually one of the kids had to stay behind from one of the adventures the kids go on and instead watch his/her friends have fun. after a while the left behind kid does get to do a quiz based on the events which happened in the show to earn points, but its not nearly as much as the other kids earn. At the end of the show, whichever kid has the highest points can win a prize. So obviously the kid left behind has no chance of winning. In the end, this show was just a waste of time for me, as little as I watched it, though there may be some people who can enjoy this type of show.
emiliehope I heard this show was aimed toward the younger kids, but I feel it's for anyone, any age. I'm 13, and I still watch PBS! When I first saw the commercials for these, I thought it was for younger kids. Then, the first episode came on. I recognized Taylor, from ZOOM. I thought it was so neat that they got to go on challenges, and go to different places! I actually learn things from watching this show, and Ruff Ruffman is just so funny! After watching the very first episode, I told all my friend and sister about "Fetch!" Now we all watch it, and we're addicted! Again, this is a show for all ages, and you learn stuff almost every day. It's a new era for PBS. Way to go!
