My baby sister watches this show and and it instills in her a level of apathy that I have so far only seen in high school seniors at the end of the year. While many babies ask for TV shows by name such as Sesame Street or Elmo, but in my experience kids simply don't care about Word Party.
Again to compare this show with Sesame Street, someone who is casually supervising a child while they watch TV probably wouldn't mind listening to Sesame Street. There was even a Karate Kid parody that I thought was pretty clever. On the flip side, Word Party is an excruciating experience for anyone in the general vicinity. The actors' voices are earsplitting and the animation looks like a more expensive version of Johnny Johnny Yes Papa. The former point brings me to my next grievance.
The songs of Word Party are not good. Even the opening theme song sets up a rhythm, then breaks it. This is very jarring and unpleasant.
You may think "Hey, at least it's teaching my kids new words, right? However, the actors' baby voices and bad pronunciation may be doing more harm than good. Not to mention LuLu's constant bad behavior may rub off on young and impressionable children. I can't even watch this show for the "so bad it's good" value, because it literally hurts my ears.
In summary, this show has no merit to any of the demographics who could possibly enjoy it. Even if your kid loves it, it's painful to even listen to. There are plenty of other children's shows that do not make you want to cut your ears off with a rusty spoon.
