Jay Jay may have wings and a rudder, but the crowd he hangs with isn't exactly jet set. Funny-faced flying buddies Tracy, Herky, and Snuffy never make it out of Tarrytown, let alone navigate their way through an episode without swerving into a tailspin. Life's Little Lessons lifts off with Herky faking wellness to get to the fair; from there, Tracy tries tackling sonic booms unsupervised, Herky spins his wheels in a tricky game of opposites, Snuffy gets his propeller out of joint over the impermanence of his snowman pal, and Tracy learns to shelf her impatience, a surefire plan for catching sight of a shooting star. A fleet gentler than Jay Jay's doesn't exist--forget about fastening your seatbelt for these low-flying adventures. In fact, if Lessons' lessons take hold the way its creators intended, preschoolers'll come away even more grounded than when they tuned in for takeoff. --Tammy La Gorce
Description
Contains five episodes. Upsy-Downosis - It looks like Herky's caught a case of "Upsy-Downosis," a kind of cold that causes planes and helicopters to fly upside down. Not wanting to miss out on a trip to the beach, Herky tries to keep his cold a secret! But when Herky's Upsy-Downosis causes him to mess up an important delivery for Brenda, he learns why it's best to let an adult know when you're not feeling well. Tracy's Sonic Boom - Savannah has agreed to help Tracy learn how to fly fast enough to do a sonic boom as soon as she returns to Tarrytown. But Tracy doesn't want to wait that long, and decides that she's going to try to learn on her own! When she flies out of control and has to be rescued, Tracy realizes there are some things that shouldn't be done without the help of an adult. Herky and The Opposites Game - Herky and Jay Jay challenge each other to a game of Opposites. Unable to stump Herky with opposite words like "high" and "low," "wet" and "dry," Jay Jay asks Herky to come up with the opposite of "Snuffy." Stuck, Herky turns to Old Oscar, who teaches him that sometimes you have to look at things in a different way in order to find the answer. Snuffy's Snowman - After the planes spend the day at Frosty Pines building a snowman, Snuffy decides he wants to bring "Jack Frosty" back to visit Tarrytown Airport. That night, Snuffy is shocked to find his snowman is starting to melt! Jay Jay explains that since a snowman's place is in the snow, they should probably take him back to Frosty Pines. That way, Jack Frosty can stay cold all year around, and Snuffy can visit him anytime he wants! Tracy's Shooting Star - After Jay Jay and Big Jake spot a shooting star, Tracy is determined to see one for herself. But after staying up late three nights in a row with no luck, Tracy worries that she'll never see one! Discouraged, she turns to Brenda Blue, who explains that patience is part of any worthwhile discovery. That very night, Tracy's patience is rewarded when she sees the biggest shooting star of all!

 One of the best toddler shows ever. November 12, 2008
Nothing gets killed or blows up. Good life lessons and great characters. I was proud to be a joystick-animator on this series.

I purchased this for my grandson who loves Jay Jay. He enjoys it very much.
 You don't have to see things in order to believe in them? Jay Jay may not be a good choice for secular families. December 12, 2006

The Skylandia episode makes clear that there are underlying messages in Jay Jay supporting religious faith. The kinds of messages I found in this show would help open up any child to any manner of theological, mystical, new agey nonsense. If you would prefer your toddler learn critical thinking, then avoid this show. I had no idea there were religious overtones in this show until watching this episode, then searching for "Jay Jay Religious" on a search engine.
The Skylandia episode discusses a castle in the sky, and immediately when Jay Jay says "I don't believe in castles in the sky because I've never seen one", he is asked "Do you have to see something to believe in it?" I would actually hope I teach my children to say "why yes, I do!".
The final words of this episode were "And that's when Jay Jay learned not to close his mind on things he couldn't see, and if you believe in something in your heart, it's true." Why not just show your 2 year old an episode of the X-files and tell him Bigfoot and Alien Abductions are real, too?
This show is probably great for people raising their child to believe in their own faith, but as a secular parent and critical thinker I find this to be a poor message to send to impressional young toddlers. If my child believes in his heart that he will fly if he jumps off the roof, it's true? There are much better shows for kids this age that send a message to kids to think like Blues Clues.
