Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse has been in my Netflix Q for a while now, but I tend to put off watching G-rated TV because it’s often boring, insipid, or just too stupid to watch. Finally started this one and it is sooo much fun! Unlike the Barbie movies (which I love), in which Barbie plays various characters, in this series Barbie plays herself as a doll, a Barbie girl in a Barbie world. The characters are illustrated with their doll joints intact, and they make reference to their plastic bodies and articulation. As a doll collector, this just delights me to no end. Another ongoing source of humor is Barbie’s 135 careers.

There are 7 seasons of this web series available on YouTube on the Barbie channel. Here’s the first season. I don’t know why YouTube playlists are always backward.

Hope you enjoy!
