And with Hasbro’s involvement, you know that this series is going to be loved by children because there is a toy line behind it. And because there characters are vehicles, there is no doubt that the series is targeted towards boys (who would most likely want their parents to buy them the toys), but also can be enjoyed by the girls.

Also, it helps that each character has their own personality. Rowdy is a garbage truck that likes to have fun and get dirty, Boomer is a fire truck and good friend of Chuck’s, but at the same time, whenever a plan doesn’t seem to work, he is the first to have that gut feeling.

For an episode like “On a Role”, children can learn the difference between an actor and a character that is seen on television, for “The Lost Hubcap of Gold”, what happens when the friends try to find gold, “Senses of Direction!” features Chuck learning from a blind motorcycle on the importance of one’s senses and more!
