With so many wonderful and diverse characters scattered around Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, it can be hard to keep track of everyone. Bonus: The show puts practically everything to a memorable tune you can utilize later - assuming you manage not to just immediately lose your shit when things go south. Every big feeling, every change, and every mistake takes the form of a lesson taught in a voice just barely above a whisper. And, yes, we love how diverse the neighborhood is, too. Daniel’s friend, Prince Wednesday, even attends public school with all the adorable peasants. Dad Tiger is helpful with Baby Margaret and encouraging to every kid that comes into his home. Of course, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood is perfect because it’s Utopian and, therefore, inherently unrealistic.
Yes, there’s so very much to love about Daniel Tiger characters and the universe they inhabit. As for the parents? Every last one of them is filled to the brim with patience - patience we will never, ever, in a million years have in real life.
And where the adorable kids teach each other valuable lessons on kindness, how to share, and feelings. It’s a world in which the neighbors all get along. What is there to say about Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood that hasn’t already been said a million times before? It is, in every sense of the word, perfection.
