PEG + CAT: SUPER PEG AND CAT GUY DVD

PBS Distribution announced today it is releasing four stories from PBS KIDS’ popular PEG + CAT series on the new DVD “PEG + CAT: SUPER PEG AND CAT GUY.”  In this action-packed DVD, Super Peg and Cat Guy defend the bustling city of Mathtropolis from three meddlesome foes – Arch Villain, Triangulo, and Flat Woman. In order to save the day, this dynamic duo will have to use their peculiar super powers, Peg’s sphere of focus, and Cat’s ability to do nine clumsy things before scraping his knees, as well as their problem-solving skills to prevent these evil doers from creating havoc in the city. As Super Peg and Cat Guy solve the city’s problems, they learn about shapes and do lots of counting. Join these two friends as they put their minds together to fight these dastardly villains and discover that using math to save the day is TOTALLY AWESOME!

“SUPER PEG AND CAT GUY” will be available on DVD April 5, 2016. The DVD run time is approximately 50 minutes, and its SRP is $6.99. The stories included on this DVD are listed below.

“The Arch Villain Problem”

When the Arch Villain wreaks havoc on the city of Mathtropolis by turning everything into arches, Super Peg and Cat Guy come to the rescue.

“The Straight and Narrow Problem”

“The Flat Woman Problem”

Super Peg and Cat Guy face their greatest challenge yet: Triangulo and Flat Woman have teamed up to triangulate and flatten the entire town!

“The Race Car Problem”

Peg and Cat must find a way to pass three super powerful race cars in their little race car made out of junk.

PEG + CAT was created by Jennifer Oxley (“Little Bill,” “The Wonder Pets!”) and Billy Aronson (“Rent,” “Postcards from Buster”) and is a production of The Fred Rogers Company. PEG + CAT, which made its broadcast debut in October 2013, airs daily on PBS KIDS (check local listings).

PEG + CAT is funded in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and the U.S. Department of Education through the Ready To Learn Initiative, a program that supports the development of innovative educational television and digital media targeted at preschool and early elementary schoolchildren and their families.

My Thoughts

Peg & Cat is an adorable show about a little girl and her animal companion. There is lots of action and lots of math lessons to be learned along the way as they battle a series of villains. This DVD set includes four fantastic episodes.

The Arch Villain Problem - The Arch villain turns everything in the city into arches. 

The Straight and Narrow Problem - This time Arch Villain uses straight and narrow shapes to confuse our heroes.

The Flat Woman Problem - Two villains team up the flatten the town. 

The Race Car Problem - Peg & Cat need to get their junk car to speed up in order to save the day.

This was our first experience with this show, but we're certainly be looking for new episodes now because we're hooked. It's a wonderful, educational series that is perfect for preschoolers.
