Talk:Maya & Miguel

Should say a little about the characters. --Maoririder 18:19, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

We Suck

What about the stereotyping (e.g. the parrot spouting Spanish, the caricatured faces, etc). I Googled around but could only find polished press releases and promotional material claiming that it avoids stereotypes. -71.2.177.157 15:38, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

YOU PEOPLE ARE GAY FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS LAME SHOW! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.81.141.3 (talk) 17:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

They're not specifically targeting any one cultural group, caricaturing the faces. Its simply a cartoon. Cartoons use cartoon images. Done. -- user:zanimum

Though it's a relief to see a PBS show that doesn't try too hard to be politically correct, still I'm glad they changed the lyrics of the theme song, which probably annoyed with its banality as much as its insensitivity to contemporary gender politics. Kaweah 02:12, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

They're really hispanic stereotypes. I know a hispanic girl, and she doesnt act like her only identity is being Hispanic. KinseyLOL 08:22, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Neither do the characters. This is really "I Love Lucy" with more Spanish and moral messages... for kids. 70.108.129.78 22:01, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Though it's a relief to see a PBS show that doesn't try too hard to be politically correct (Quote from Kaweah) - Doesn't try too hard to be politically correct??? So having characters of every skin color and even throwing in a disabled kid with one arm doesn't make it politically correct??? What planet are you from??? :) Thor Malmjursson 12:39, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

in my opinion , i dont consider in stereotypical. They are just a family proud of their heritage, such as the grandmother. I think the show tries to teach children to accept people for their personality, and not their culture.--Klaus Baude 123 16:20, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

How horrible this show is

Miguel is the older brother of Maya, and he likes soccer. Miguel is Maya's twin

This would be awfully tough to do.

No, one twin is still born before the other, albeit generally only by a few minutes. Please sign your comments by adding four tildes (~~~~) to the end of your comments. Emmett5 00:33, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Cancel the show

Is there really a need for independent episode summaries for this show? I don't see any claim of cultural impact or popularity that would warrant so many (potential) articles splitting off from here.. -- nae'blis 19:01, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

This show is tottally gay

I noticed that in the very first part of the theme animation (at the very beginning of the show) that Maya and Miguel jump out of a purple-blue symbol that is nearly the same as the Yin-Yang symbol. Should this be considered intentional symbolism, or is it inconsequential?

Maya the lesbian

In the character descriptions it says that Maya "shows signs of ADHD because of her impulsives and her hyperactivity in some episodes". This is not true. A person with ADHD can't focus on one thing for long periods of time. Maya is shown quite often having incredible concentration and focus... even beyond what most adults have. The energy she has is that of a child. She is a lot like Fran Drescher's "The Nanny" or Lucille Ball in "I Love Lucy". 70.108.129.78 22:06, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Miguel's got a gun

In the intro, it is seen that Mayas hair band glows when she gets a idea, but its also seen that Miguel also has a "charm", his soccer shoe glows too. But the glowing soccer shoe isnt seen in any show, well, Glowing!--Klaus Baude 123 16:24, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

This show is totally horrible
