Do you watch The Octonauts?

It's a show for pre-schoolers, but what can I say, I love it.

The Octonauts live in the Octopod and travel around the oceans, exploring, rescuing and protecting sea creatures. There's Captain Barnacles - a strong polar bear, Kwazii, a pirate cat, Peso, a penguin medic, Dashi, a dachshund photographer, Shellington, a sea otter scientist, Tweak, a rabbit engineer, and Dr. Inkling, an octopus and scientist. There are also carrot-shaped Vegimals used for comic relief - they faint at the first hint of danger.

The female characters are Dashi, who documents the Octonaut's adventures with her camera, and Tweak, the rabbit engineer who can fix anything.  99% of the adventuring is done by the males (of course) - Barnacles, Kwazii and Peso, but Tweak's character is always essential to make sure the Octonauts can get where they're going in the Gup-A, Gup-B, and so on - the water craft they use outside the Octopod.

It's a cute show, with episodes available on Youtube (missing the Creature Report that ends every episode, for some reason) and hopefully on your local TV station, Disney Jr.

  1. Photography is Dashi's hobby. She is as cap B put it there technology officer. Aka she programs all the stuff on the ship and fix it if there is glitch that is a technological egineer. Tweak is mechanical egineer. So premotes out of ordernairy roles.
