JoJo's Circus is a 30-minute show seen daily on Playhouse Disney. Each episode showcases JoJo Tickle and her pet lion Goliath, who are going to school for circus performers. JoJo wants to follow in her parents' footsteps and be a clown. Her best friend Skeebo is also going to be a clown. Joining them in class is Trina the ballerina, and Croaky the frog on the flying trapeze, Tater the potato, and Dinky the young elephant who is a little unsure of himself. A frequent visitor on the show is Bal Boa, a snake of course.
Each episode of JoJo's Circus is about 11 minutes, and two episodes are in each show. JoJo really tries to involve the television audience in her show and after giving a direction she will even pause for the audience to do what she has said. This show is all about movement; singing, dancing and getting up on your feet. As each 11-minute episode ends, JoJo is asked what she learned today. Of course, she then answers the question, not so subtly telling the viewers what the lesson is for what they such saw.
This is a great show for children, who will enjoy watching and participating, and they won't realize they have learned something until JoJo points it out. Playhouse Disney has had a hit with JoJo's Circus since 2003, and there are no signs of it letting up. Each episode is thoughtfully written to include the children watching, while at the same time imparting a quick lesson in the colorful scenes.

My daughter loves this show, shes an active 2 year old so she just has a grand time dancing and playing with JoJo. I'm with the other mom who said she wished there was more merchandise for JoJo - I think its one thing my girl would love to bits.
JoJo is considerate, kind, and happy. She rights her wrongs and makes good decisions. It's beautiful thing to see in a kids show.
Best Show Ever! (Review 10 of 18)

I love Jo Jo's Circus! My daughter is almost two and she dances everytime this show comes on. She is having a Jo Jo's Circus birthday party and already has every Jo Jo toy there is. I wish there were more including bedding decor.!

JoJo's is pretty funny. It's funny when I get to see things that I already know how to do. I'm 7 and pretty old for this show, but I still love it. I think it is great for younger kids not knowing how to do much. It is a great encouragement to start watching Playhouse Disney all the time. I also enjoy plain Disney, but I like going back to Playhouse to see what I already know and review it. It is a very short show but I don't care. I think it is very good. I think you should keep making this show. I think is a great encouragement.

My 18-month old daughter loves this show. She loves to move and dance to the music. She loves her JoJo, Goliath, Crokey, and Skeebo plush dolls. In fact, when the show is on, she brings them out. What a wonderful show!
