Untitled[edit]

Have removed the following section, but leave it here as per guidelines. Reason for removal - there is already a Sesame Street page, this is therefor irrelevant. Would STRONGLY suggest the section entitled "U.S. Television" needs its own page, as this page comes across as UScentric thereby breaking the NPOV rule.

Sesame Street[edit]

North American children's television took a dramatic turn in 1969 with the creation of the visionary PBS program Sesame Street. Still in production over thirty years later, Sesame Street is an educational program produced by the Sesame Workshop and featuring Jim Henson's Muppets. The show blends human and puppet characters, animation, song and dance, and colorful production numbers with basic educational material oriented for children anywhere from toddler to six. It is on this television show that many children of the world are first exposed to things like basic math and language skills, as well as social skills and multiculturality. The effect of Sesame Street was so powerful that within a few years, children's television was universally considered to have an educational mandate.

Though the perceived educational mandate continues to be promoted and debated, and many shows (particularly those on public television) are specifically designed to be educational, children's programming has moved back toward pure entertainment over time. Efforts by state and federal government to regulate children television into being exclusively educational have been evaded or defeated.

  • This may be redundant with the text on the Sesame Street page, but now this article is woefully incomplete. The first sentence mentions educational children's television programs, but there are no examples or mentions in the rest of the article. At least restore a link to Sesame Street.

Violence, and language, in children's programming[edit]

With recent encounters of "cartoons" on television I find myself picking out negative language and acts of violence. Is this something we want our youth to adapt, or something we want to "entertain" them when parents need to get things done around the house? Jbloxom7192 (talk) 16:12, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Violence in childrens programming[edit]

Shouldnt there be some information on the debate over violence in children's programming? It is a qite well known debate and deserves a mention Fledgeling 16:51, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please relate my post above to add to this discussion (Jbloxom7192 (talk) 02:13, 10 April 2011 (UTC)).[reply]


For U.S. kid's shows, VR Troopers should be up there.

Ren and Stimpy[edit]

I thought ren and stimpy was a canadian show, and is it even a kids show in the first place?

This article sucks[edit]

Who put Family Guy as a kids show? Not to mention I, as most people, hate these unending lists. This is what categories are for. FancyPants 08:16, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]


I have to agree with FancyPants (I never thought I'd say that). If I knew how to edit these things properly I would pull in a wealth of information from the Museum of Broadcast Communications' "Children and Television" page. Unfortunately I don't have the skills...

If someone could do that I would be very greatful:

Not all Children's television programmes are series. Some are television movies. Perhaps a pagemove to Children's television programming would be better. -- PFHLai 08:41, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

this site should have a list of web sites that kids can get on too

Cleanup[edit]

This article is a mess. Apparently it was voted to keep it, but it needs serious work.Scottanon (talk) 17:04, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it need a lot of work. I've just seen under Propaganda for children "Tomorrow's Pioneers(Arabic: رواد الغد‎; also The Pioneers of Tomorrow) is a children's program, broadcast since 13 April 2007 on the official Hamas television station in the Gaza Strip, Al-Aqsa TV (Arabic: مرئية الأقصى قناة الأقصى‎). The program deals with may life aspects Palestinian children face under the Israeli attacks killing many civilians and innocent children, this way setting them up to be the future fighters of Hamas." It not good English but I do not know what they are saying or I'd fix it.--Lord Don-Jam (talk) 16:50, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

With the return of Saturday morning cartoons, All of the Litton programs are streaming on Netflix, and of course, the upcoming Litton shows was produced for Netflix as the original programming. That's why, Litton shows are NO longer on Saturday mornings. 64.31.218.178 (talk) 16:13, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
