Description I'm already a big fan of Peg + Cat on PBSkids. Besides being about math and existing in a world of grid-paper, one thing I really like about it is the humor. The show is aware of itself, and they don't wait to reference absurdities for laughs. "'-and you must be their parrot!' 'Awwk! And you're wearing a wool hat despite the fact it's hot out. What's up with that?'" The pacing is another great thing. Where other kids shows go so slow that they're dumbed down feeling, Peg + Cat often has its best moments in rapid-fire dialog between characters.

I wonder if there is a special group chat or Discord server about Peg + Cat and its fans. Also good work.

One of the amazing things about this?

There’s university-level math written on the background.

Wow, I like this design of Cat better than his real design! I don't watch Peg Plus Cat all that much, not my favorite show, although sometimes I like it when goes

"I AM TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!!!" And then the wind instrument blows as Cat tugs on Peg's clothing, and then puts his paws up at her as the whistle blows.

"Cat's Right," says Peg,"I should count backwards from (whatever number)"

Peg looks good in your picture too.

Kydoon In reply to Brainstormer623 [2014-09-02 23:31:08 +0000 UTC]

Easily The Highlight Zone Problem.  However, favorite song has to go to the "You can count on me" song from The Tree Problem.  That line "I'm the one two three for you" was a moment I had to ask myself what level this show was even ON, because it's clearly a higher one than a LOT of other shows.

That one is really good too.  I had no idea this show would be so song heavy, and I love it.

My fav is The Highlight Zone too! As for favorite song, the one from Yet Another Tree Problem is catchy, but I love the version of the Problem Solved song from The Doohickey Problem.

Oh yeah!  That's another great aspect of the show.  The fact that it is technically formula driven, but that they play around enough with it to make episodes stand out from one another and keep things fresh and interesting.  Their flexibility is another example of the creators genuinely having fun with the show, and not just hammering out something from a predefined list of tropes.

Hi there! Was really excited when I saw this post. I work on Peg + Cat as one of the designers and it's really great fun and a great honour to see other artists and fans be inspired by something that you're working on. This is a great piece and I showed it to the creator of the show who really enjoyed it as well. Great work!

An accurate representation of me reading this comment.
I feel incredibly honored to have you grace my humble corner of DA.  The fact that you like my fanart, and that Jennifer Oxley and/or Billy Aronson ALSO enjoyed it has left me in a state of utter euphoria.  You and the rest of the crew are doing wonderful work.  Thank you so much for doing it.  I assure you that for months now, when catching Peg + Cat with my niece, I will be excitedly pointing out your name in the credits and telling her that you liked my work.

Just saw it today. The show is cute and awesome. Yet why do they have very complex calculus equations in the background if the show teaches you simple math

Kydoon In reply to PaddedPrincessPolly [2013-10-19 05:44:17 +0000 UTC]

That's one of my favorite aspects of the show.  I guess I see it as showing kids what they will someday be able to do.  It doesn't anchor itself in the humble harbor of that simple math; it acknowledges that there is so much more out there than what you're learning from the characters.  It instills a curiosity for what that all means, and how it's connected to, say, The Pyramid Problem.  All of this goes hand in hand with the pacing in doing something I LOVE to see in kids shows: They don't assume the audience are idiots.  So many shows slow everything down and take too tiny of steps.  Peg + Cat blazes through its math at refreshingly normal speed, showcases the possibilities of the subject etched across the skies, and brings itself back down to earth by being delightfully aware of itself and its absurdities.

This show's growing on me too. Haven't seen too much of it, but I like it already.


Plus, Cat is just too cute. He's like a beanbag plush or something.
