Description
Contains five episodes. Snuffy's Favorite Color - Even though Snuffy's "Rainbow Song" was a big hit on Concert Day, it still bothers him that he wasn't able to come up with one favorite color. Brenda tells him he should try to figure out what it might be based on things that he loves. So, Snuffy takes off to figure it out. When a spring shower forces him to return to the hangar, where Brenda lovingly dries him off so he won't rust, it hits him! His favorite color is blue - like Brenda BLUE! She's the thing he loves most about the day! Super Loop-De-Loop - Over the radio, everyone listens to Winnie Winger, an old friend of Oscar's reminisce about Old Oscar being the first plane to ever do a dangerous stunt called the "double-over-under-upside-down-loop-de-loop." When Winnie comes to town, Oscar is worried because he thinks he has to perform this difficult stunt for his friend. Finally, Winnie explains that she didn't come to see the trick, she just came to visit her very special friend. Brenda's Mother's Day - Brenda's mother is coming to Tarrytown Airport and Tracy wants everything to be perfect. However, Tracy gets a little overzealous in her cleaning and accidentally spills paint all over the airport! Things are such a mess that Tracy worries she's ruined everything! But when Brenda's mother arrives, she's not mad at all. It turns out that what matters to her is spending time with her daughter and getting a chance to meet all of Brenda's airplane friends. Tuffy, The Tiny Tow-Truck - Revvin' Evan's cousin Tuffy wants to work at Tarrytown airport even though Jay Jay thinks Tuffy is too tiny to ever be able to tow planes. But when Jay Jay, Tracy and Snuffy get stuck on the side of a mountain, Tuffy shows he's tough enough for any job when he helps pull them out of the deep mud. Thanks to the tiny tow truck, Jay Jay learns to never again judge anyone based on size alone. What's important is the size of your heart and spirit! Snuffy's Birthday Surprise - Snuffy only wants one gift for his birthday - a snow blower! All of his friends are confused. How can a snow blower be any fun? But when Snuffy's big day arrives, they all find out. Snuffy takes his new snow blower up to Frosty Pines and creates a whole group of snowmen to help keep his friend Jack Frosty company! Thanks to Snuffy, the planes realize that the best present of all is to give something special to someone you love!

Jay Jay and his buddies are the American aerial equivalent of England's Thomas the Tank Engine and cohorts: they have jobs to do, experience adventures along the way, and always learn valuable lessons in cooperation. The American sensibility is most apparent in Brenda Blue, Tarrytown Airport's mechanic/manager. Her role as a parent figure is more overt than Sir Topham Hat's of the British Thomas program, and she has "Think About Moments" in which she explains concepts like gravity and weather. Another difference is the kiddie voices belonging to the planes, helicopter, and tow truck. This compilation of the PBS series offers five 11-minute segments, featuring stories in which Oscar the biplane attempts to re-create a triumph from his stunt-plane days, the team prepares for Brenda's mom's arrival on Mother's Day, and the little propeller plane Snuffy tries to decide what birthday gift would be most useful. Ages 2 to 6. --Kimberly Heinrichs

 One of the best toddler shows ever. November 12, 2008
Nothing gets killed or blows up. Good life lessons and great characters. I was proud to be a joystick-animator on this series.

I purchased this for my grandson who loves Jay Jay. He enjoys it very much.
 You don't have to see things in order to believe in them? Jay Jay may not be a good choice for secular families. December 12, 2006

The Skylandia episode makes clear that there are underlying messages in Jay Jay supporting religious faith. The kinds of messages I found in this show would help open up any child to any manner of theological, mystical, new agey nonsense. If you would prefer your toddler learn critical thinking, then avoid this show. I had no idea there were religious overtones in this show until watching this episode, then searching for "Jay Jay Religious" on a search engine.
The Skylandia episode discusses a castle in the sky, and immediately when Jay Jay says "I don't believe in castles in the sky because I've never seen one", he is asked "Do you have to see something to believe in it?" I would actually hope I teach my children to say "why yes, I do!".
The final words of this episode were "And that's when Jay Jay learned not to close his mind on things he couldn't see, and if you believe in something in your heart, it's true." Why not just show your 2 year old an episode of the X-files and tell him Bigfoot and Alien Abductions are real, too?
This show is probably great for people raising their child to believe in their own faith, but as a secular parent and critical thinker I find this to be a poor message to send to impressional young toddlers. If my child believes in his heart that he will fly if he jumps off the roof, it's true? There are much better shows for kids this age that send a message to kids to think like Blues Clues.
