Ready Jet Go! (2016–2019) User Reviews

A Great Educational Series about Space

[brian_m_hass · 9/10 · 4 December 2016]

This animated educational television series features a group of children who befriend an alien family from the planet, Bortron 7. The children learn about the Solar System by going on interplanetary field trips with the alien family. Each episode focuses on two different aspects of the Solar System (or astronomy in general). Live action segments feature astronomer, Amy Mainzer.

This program teaches kids about the Solar System in an entertaining way. The characters (both Earthling and Bortronian) are engaging. The show's style is somewhat whimsical, and keeps everything light and fun. The live action segments with Amy Mainzer teach about space in a manner which is more grounded in reality.

Educational shows which focus on space and astronomy are rare on television. While this show doesn't probe those topics in great depth, it makes them seem fun and approachable. The series is highly recommended for children of all ages.

Ready Jet Go!

This is a great show for young children, especially toddlers. They learn about space and sharing and has great vocabulary words. The show is about 3 kids and their new neighbors from outer space. It teaches children big words, such as Jet propulsion, Meteorite, solar system etc. They also learn the names of the planets, its moons and temperature. I am a huge fan and love watching it with my kids. We could discuss the subject of each episodes and even go online to do more research. Watching this show may motivate children to learn about science.

Terribly annoying

[levinw-76404 · 1/10 · 28 November 2021]

Every single thing in this show is annoying. Especially the main character. It's the same trope that has been done so many times before, you know the show Marvin Marvin? It's basically the same.

I genuinely think this show is terrible. Pbs kids does this weird thing where most of their shows are very good, but there are also just a few that are absolutely terrible. This isn't calioue (probably spelled that wrong) bad, but it's still pretty terrible.

Can't think of a single positive aspect, other than the live action segments at the end being fine.

Re-Review: My Favorite PBS Show

[BoxwoodExpress · 10/10 · 23 February 2017]

I love this show! It had plot, good acting, and character development. The voice acting is wonderful. This show doesn't have the typical cartoon voice cast. It has some Canadian voice actors like Ashleigh Ball and Brian Drummond, but it also has some child VAs. But somehow, they are all very good at voice acting and the voices are pleasant to listen to. As for the animation, it is absolutely gorgeous. Yeah, early on it looks like utter garbage, but by the second half of season 1, it starts to improve in quality. My favorite scene has to be the Milky Way song from "A Visit to the Planetarium", the animation is absolutely beautiful.

The characters are well-written and are all entertaining and relatable. Jet's the spontaneous newcomer who adores Earth, is nice to everyone, and acts before he thinks. Sean is the fearful science nerd who likes to use the Scientific Method. Sydney is an ambitious, creative, and kind comic book fanatic. Mindy is a curious and headstrong young child, and Mitchell is by far my favorite. He has many layers. On the outside, he's prideful, sarcastic, and unkind, but on the inside, he's lonely, as shown in the Christmas episode. Carrot and Celery are goofy but well-meaning parents.

I love this show for its educational value, I should mention. It doesn't focus on gimmicks or selling cheap toys, but instead of instilling a sense of wonder of space and care for Planet Earth in every episode. Amy Mainzer is a delightful host. The music is catchy, the jokes are hilarious, and all in all, RJG is an absolute treat.

Great Educational Show

[superjangames · 10/10 · 31 August 2019]

My son is 4.5 and loves both the show and the educational games on the PBS Kids app. The characters are interesting and fun, and it's a great way to get little ones interested in math and science! We enjoy watching it together and discussing the topics afterwards!

Quality show!

Not much more to say. This show is great for teaching kids science.

Ready Jet Stop

[ThunderKing6 · 10/10 · 28 May 2022]

Horrible and cliché.

Another children show that consist of annoying 3d animation, redundant dumb characters and lame stories we see in every other show for over 30 years.

Children today miss out because they have to suffer from shows like Ready Jet Go haha!. Where are the smart children shows at?
