Broadcast

The first and second seasons have been sold to Nickelodeon channels in over 126 countries, including TVOKids, Knowledge Kids and City Kids in Canada.

Reception

Common Sense Media reviewer Emily Ashby gave the show a four-star rating, stating that "perhaps the show's best attribute is how it demonstrates the value of thoughtful problem-solving."[5] Stuff.co.nz reviewer Pattie Pegler also wrote favourably of the series, but stated that some of the characters "seem rather arbitrary, like Rocky the Recycling Pup."[6]

A research study, commissioned by Sky plc in March 2016, reported that 16% of surveyed British and Irish children named PAW Patrol as their favourite program.[7]

Accolades

In 2014, the series' theme song was nominated for "Outstanding Original Song – Main Title and Promo" in the 41st Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards.[8] In 2016, the season two episode "Pups Save a Mer-Pup" was nominated for "Best Animated Television/Broadcast Production for Preschool Children" in the 43rd Annie Awards.[9] Later the same year, PAW Patrol received two nominations at the 4th Canadian Screen Awards,[10] winning one of them.[11]
