PAW Patrol the Canadian CGI–animated television series created by Keith Chapman makes its road show appearance at the Hobby Center.The television show is produced by Spin Master Entertainment in association with TVOKids and Nickelodeon, with animation provided by Guru Studio. In Canada, the series is primarily broadcast on TVOKids, which first ran previews of the 
show in August 2013. The series first aired on Nickelodeon back in August of 2013.
The series focuses on a boy named Ryder who leads a pack of rescue dogs known as the PAW Patrol. They work together on missions to protect the shoreside community of Adventure Bay. Each dog has a specific set of skills based on a real-life profession. For example, Marshall has the abilities of a firefighter and Chase's responsibilities are similar to those of a police officer. They all reside in doghouses that can transform into customized vehicles when necessary. They are also equipped with backpacks called "pup packs" that contain tools, and the tools relate to the pups' jobs.
It is being reported that despite the commercial success of the show, critical reception has been mixed. 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". Randy Miller of 
DVD Talk recommended the show, calling it "packed with all the harmless action and cornball jokes that kids ... can't help but snicker at". Stuff.co.nz reviewer Pattie Pegler also wrote favourably of the series, but felt that some of the characters "seem rather arbitrary, like Rocky the Recycling Pup". The About Group's Carey Bryson gave the series a mixed review, criticizing its "formulaic" nature but affirming that the "show is not without funny moments".
A research study, commissioned by Sky in March 2016, reported that 16 per cent of surveyed British and Irish children named PAW Patrol as their favourite program.
