Cute and unexpectedly funny

"I thought Hamtaro was just another Hello Kitty clone, but boy was I wrong. This series is fall-down ROFLMHO hilarious. True, the stories are all at a pre-K to 2nd grade level, and the characters are all unbelievably sweet and nice... but there are moments that will tickle viewers of all ages, even if they profess to be too cool for such unbridled cute. My only complaints are really about the R1 DVD release - there are only 3 episodes per disc, there's no Japanese track, and it's obvious that some central plot elements have been significantly altered for American audiences, which is just a shame. Hence the 3-star review."
Bring on the hamhams

"Both my children love these cartoons. My three year old can sing the entire theme song. A cute cartoon for little children with out the crash and bang of more frentically paced kid's stuff but offering a good story and friendly characters."

"this dvd contains 3 great episodes and my 2 favorites the first episode on the dvd is "the wise elder ham" mainly about Laura's grandmother and her friend finding each other again. In the second episode my first favorite "Lets dance sandy" the ham ham girls ask Hamtaro to ask maxwell if he likes sandy its an adorable episode also the girls are practicing a gymnastics routine and the boys are putting on a play for a festival and at the end Sandy finds out where her long lost brother is
The last episode "the search for sandy's brother"(2nd favorite)In this episode the ham hams well try to find Sandy's brother which they do and the story is mainly about keeping Sandy away from the clubhouse for a surprise party when the two are reunited their stay together all the time"
