Here in Australia we get a mix of US and British kids shows (on ABC Kids, have no idea what is shown on commercial channels), and its trivially easy to pick the US ones because they are dripping in morals, lessons, and such (and are also terrible).
I've started describing it to people as: British shows are designed to entertain first, and perhaps kids can learn something, whereas the US approach is THOU SHALT MAKE SURE CHILDREN UNDERSTAND RIGHT AND WRONG!.
- nsxwolf 10y agoDon't forget the importance of nutrition and exercise! There's also some law that these shows have to have a symbol on the screen somewhere that says "E/I", for "educational/informative" I think. In case you couldn't figure it out on your own!
- LionRoar 10y agoI made your statement a little more accurate. "THOU SHALT MAKE SURE CHILDREN UNDERSTAND [our version of] RIGHT AND WRONG!." You're welcome :)
