This page will focus only about the program's first era as a children's program in 2005-2007.

Why It Rocked

 * 1) The program's name was a reference to the fictional TV Xuxa segments that were shown on the program between 2005 and early 2007, where TV Xuxa's programming was interfered with by TV Pirata Pirado, Lobo Repórter and Keka Toke Show, hosted by Bruxa Keka, from Xuxa's previous program, Xuxa no Mundo da Imaginação, what made sense the name of the program.
 * 2) As usual with her children's programs, Xuxa's hosting is still amazing.
 * 3) It aired great cartoons and anime that some were aired or ended up going to TV Globinho after the end of TV Xuxa, like Avatar: The Last Airbender, My Life as a Teenage Robot, Totally Spies, Robotboy, All Grown Up!, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, SpongeBob SquarePants and many others.
 * 4) All the openings were excellent, including the last one from 2007, where it had a mix of music genres.
 * 5) Also obviously with the Xuxa programs, the songs on this program were well done, like the songs of the months in 2007, the last year of the children's phase of the program.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Aired some bad shows like the Series 2 of Robotboy and the last season of Sítio do Pica-Pau Amarelo (2001), which brought low ratings to TV Xuxa (which aired the last season on TV Xuxa itself).
 * 2) * Speaking of which, the program was already having low ratings, due to constant defeats by Bom Dia & Cia (at the time hosted by Yudi and Priscilla), which resulted in the program go off the air temporarily and ended up being Xuxa's last children's program on Globo and went on a temporary hiatus until 2008.
 * 3) After the temporary hiatus, the program returned in 2008, now remodeled as an adult auditorium show, only aired on saturdays, which generated a mixed reception from the public and viewers who got used to the program when it was a children's program. After many defeats by Woody Woodpecker on Record Kids in the ratings in its last years, when it moved to Saturday afternoons replacing Sessão de Sábado, the program finally ended in 2014, ending Xuxa's passage at Globo on a sour note and moved to RecordTV, staying there until 2020, when she not renewed her contact with RecordTV after five years on the network.
