TV Series Review

There’s nothing like family. Especially when that family is made up of fun-loving construction pups like Rubble and his crew. 

While Rubble loves being a part of the Paw Patrol in Adventure Bay, he’s also ready to try something new. Now that his family is in town, he’ll be splitting his time in a neighboring metropolis called Builders Cove with his closest, familial canine companions. And they’re always eager to build a way and save the day. 

Adventure Bay, Get Outta The Way

Rubble is still on the double in this Paw Patrol spinoff, Rubble & Crew. In this TV-Y series on Nick Junior, the bulldog and his family are asked to help plan and build a new, growing town called Builders Cove. There, this close-knit family will have all the construction projects they could ever want as they use their talents to help others. 

Rubble is the leader. Grandpa Gravel is the all-around handyman. Auntie Crane manages the forklift. His cousins play a big part, too: Wheeler drives the dump truck, Charger wrangles the crane, Motor directs the wrecking ball and Mix takes care of the mixing truck.

Together, these pups secure their hard hats against the town’s careless villain, Speed Meister, and his sidekick Mr. McTurtle, and they always double down to get the job done with kindness, teamwork and the right set of tools.

Rubble’s family reunion is interrupted when Mayor Greatway asks Rubble and his family to build a bridge for her new town, Builder Cove. 

Rubble and his family work together, practice patience and even show kindness to the show’s villain, Speed Meister and his sidekick Mr. McTurtle, who rush through a project and put others in harm’s way.
