Oh Carly, I can't believe you've never seen "Bob the Builder" in English. You've missed a real treat.

its Bob the builder

gibts auch den Staaten wie ich kürlich festgestellt habe :)

@Anne and all others - I of course know all about "Bob der Baumeister," but in German :-) Glad to know that he is both well-known in the UK and the USA, since the paragraph is directed towards those nations!

'Bob the Builder' originated in the English-speaking world!: http://search.msn.de/images/results.aspx?q=%2...
. . . :-)))

@Daddy - Aber meine Kinder sind zwischenzeitlich 29 und 26, und Bob the Builder gab es damals noch nicht :-)

I think Bob originated in the UK. Actually, Carly, with your command of German, I expect the German version was just as much fun:-). Something that makes the programme special in the UK is the actor who does Bob's voice and sings the song - Neil Morrissey. He's very popular for comedy TV roles like "Men Behaving Badly".

@ Carly: Then ask your 'children' to present you with 'grand-children' ! . . .

@Anne - Every now and then, I have the pleasure of watching him with my 5-year old granddaughter :-)

Folks, you're way behind the times. In Germany and the UK he has been replaced by Bobski the Builderowsky" ;-)

@Bacon - True! But Bobski the Builderowski will soon wise up and follow the asparagus harversters BACK to the UK :-)

Well, I first met Bob the Builder motifs together with his friends Hugo B., Calvin K., Louis V. at very, very unexpensive retail on the Southern Turkish beach.

@wundertype.de - LOL! Did you manage to take any of them home with you ?? Just out of curiosity.

I thought about it at this time (when my cousin's son was on "Bob der Baumeister") but in fact I didn't, no ;-)

And you managed to resist Hugo, Kevin and Louis, too ?? WOW! Am impressed :-)

Well, look at THAT:
