Its very interesting that you say that. I've been following Hi-5 for many years and I feel that they haven't changed at all (except for better graphics, and new cast members). Why do you say their "recent material" is "very weak"? To me, it seems like the same old childish happy bubbly music and skits that we've been seeing since 1999. If Hi-5 is experiencing any kind of slowdown, it is completely due to the fact that there are new cast members, and any band/show faces difficulties when long time cast members suddenly leave (not to mention a majority of them).
