Why Every Day's An Adventure

 * 1) Great concept.
 * 2) Very likeable characters. This includes:
 * 3) *Timothy, a young brown-furred raccoon, and the main character of the show.
 * 4) *Nora, a pale brown mouse, who is Timothy's well-known friend.
 * 5) *Doris, a brown beaver who towers over the rest of the students.
 * 6) *Frank 1 and Frank 2, a pair of twin French bulldogs. Each has white facial markings with one eye covered.
 * 7) **Frank 1's left eye is covered, while Frank 2's right eye is covered.
 * 8) *Fritz, a young skunk with dark grey fur.
 * 9) *Claude, a racoon, just like Timothy, except different. He has light brown fur with darker brown feet, hands, eye markings, and a single tail stripe. His nose is dark brown while his inner-ear is soft pink. He has dark blue eyes.
 * 10) **Claude and Timothy are not related to each other.
 * 11) *Lily, a light orange fox girl.
 * 12) *Grace, an orange cat with yellow eyes. Her inner-ear is light pink, while her legs, paws, and the tip of her tail are a dark orange color.
 * 13) *Charles, one of the smallest in class, tying with Nora.
 * 14) The theme song is catchy, unforgettable and well-sung by the Kidz Bop Kids.
 * 15) Very good animation.
 * 16) The school's name "Hilltop School" is a great name for the school.
 * 17) Lot's of great episodes to choose from.
 * 18) The quality is very good.
 * 19) The plots are superb. Especially if it's a different season. Unlike some of the other Nelvana shows, this show so far never suffered from any animation errors, mainly because of the well-done work offered to us by the people behind Nelvana that work for this show.
 * 20) Awesome-terrific morals.
 * 21) Mrs. Jenkins is a very likeable teacher.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) Some of the characters can be unlikable.
