To Common Sense Media,

In the past, commonsensemedia.org posted a review of the animated series, "Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!" (to be refered to as "SRMTHG" for the rest of this statement.) If one were to look at the reviews by kids and adults for said series, they all disagree with the review Common Sense gave that degraded the show.

We, the undersigned, also disagree with the review. These are a few major reasons. All text in quotations is from the review of SRMTHG on Commonsensemedia.org.

1. "with no attempt to offer lessons or teach social values"

SRMTHG teaches plenty of social values. In "Depths of Fear", Chiro ans Sprx must face their fear of water to save their friends. In "Snowbound", Nova must learn that there is a time and a place to express anger. These are just a few of many values. Plus, the whole show teaches kids about team work. When even one member of the team is missing, it becomes harder to defeat villians and fly the Super Robot.

2. "arguable message of gender equality"

Although Nova is the only girl on the team, she is often shown besting the boys and is very strong and smart. There are also several other guest females, such as Jin May and Ailana, who become strong or already strong who appear in the story.

The revier compares SRMTHG's gender equality to that of "The Powerpuff Girls", which has a team entirely made of girls and makes almost every male character either mean of stupid. By comparing these two shows, the reviwer is saying that discriminating against boys is fine, making the review more questionable as far as sexism goes than the actual show.

3. "Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go certainly isn't for young kids."

No, it's for preteens. Choosing to judge the show as if it was made for ages 7 and up was a mistake that affected the review in a very bad way. The age it was judged on should have been set higher.

4. "the plots hopelessly confusing and lacking in any kind of continuity."

Jetix has a bad habit of playing the show's episodes out of order. However, when watched in order, there is a though provoking and captivating plot that many fans, including teenagers and adults, enjoy speculating on. There are even romantic (and cleaner than that of many other shows for the target audience)sub plots in it.

5. "It's a show that works only if your main focus is on (all together now) shooting things and blowing them up."

Like stated before, the show is loaded with subplots and values.

The review shows a lack of reasearch and that the reviewer did not watch enough of the show before writing the review to make a clear judgement about it.

We, the undersigned, want the review of SRMTHG on Commonsensemedia.org to be removed and done again by a diffrent reviewer and for the show to be better reasearched by the reviewer before the new review is written. If a new review is not possible, we still want the old review to be removed immediatly.

Thank you for your time,

The Undersigned

Gender is not an issue for the show. Nova is the strongest both physically and spritually. The violence is no deal either. There's no blood, no broken bones.

People need to give this show a chance. They judge this show before they even see how deep it is.

My Gym Partner's a Monkey? How is that better than this? It's completely brainless! And people want reviews that are researched, not "I'm gonna watch one episode and base my review on that!" There are many people out there who want to see the end of the story, even if it's not another season and just a movie.

CS are all wrong! SRMTHFG is a wonderess show that is filled with adventure, comedy, excitement. It shows you that what goes up must come down, there is no good without the bad, but most importantly-it teaches you the meaning of friendship!

I support the petition, knowing that SRMTHG is a great show and the review does not reflect reality.

I would have to agree with common sense media on the review for the beginning of the show because in my opinion the first season wasn't all that good. However, more into the end of the second series ending, I thought the show improved a lot! The illustrations are better draw and they showed more of a better plot and story line.

CSM had no idea what they were talking about. They said the show had no plot, and yet they refered to "My Gym Partner's A Monkey" for a better example of a show? Honestly, when the majority of those who review disagree, they must realize that they made a big mistake.

Rachel Ditmer said 03/03/07, 6:29 pm (verified)
CSM had no right to make such a review for SRMTHFG, especially seeing as they obviously hadn't seen enough of the show to make a judgement. Also, the fact that this show is in danger of cancellation as it is. Being lied about won't help matters.

I read the CSM review about two days after it was posted. To this day I am still sickened by what it contained. As a teenage viewer, I believe that whoever wrote that review should have at least TRIED to pay attaction to it, even just a little bit! Way to go Netbug! Let's give us a new review!

I agree! Don't let Common Sense Media mislead you! Think about it people. How can the plot be "hopelessly confusing"? What episode did they start watching it at? The Stranded Seven? Or maybe Galactic Smash Attack? This is not just one of those "beat-em up" style cartoons. I'm sure you'll all agree that the plot gets very deep at times, take for example I, Chiro. GET A CLUE CSM! Love, Gwen

I read the review from Commonsensemedia and I was pretty disgusted. How can they just judge this show like that? Well, think of it this way: It's them against the hundreds of SMTHFG fans in the world.

This petition is well said. CSM gave that show a very unfair and unreasonable review.

Too many people make poor judgements on this show based on first glances, and particularly on the name. PLEASE take a closer look and give this review an overhaul! It deserves a better review than it was given!
