“ Disney finally managed to buy the Muppets – but not Sesame Street – in 2004, and to Oz’s mind, there’s a “demarcation line between the Jim Henson Muppets and the Disney Muppets”: “There’s an inability for corporate America to understand the value of something they bought. They never understood, with us, it’s not just about the puppets, it’s about the performers who love each other and have worked together for many years.” “ Article from last year but :(

As parent to a toddler, I have developed a great appreciation for certain kids' shows: Bluey has amazing family relationship models, complete with mistakes; Gabby's Dollhouse shows great imagination and friendships (and has THE BEST songwriting I've ever heard in a kids' show); Daniel Tiger continues the work of Fred Rogers; Spirit Rangers is an indigenous-led show that mixes indigenous culture with life lessons and adventure; Number Blocks is sneakily teaching math; Peep and the Big Wide World is just cute; Little Einsteins and that Luna show are cultural BONANZAS.
Sarah and Duck is my favorite, though; it is soooo calming, in addition to being the most AuDHD show ever (which as an AuDHD dad with an AuDHD daughter, I REALLY appreciate).

just watched "the beginning" part one and two episodes of the legend of korra, and I KID YOU NOT out of FOUR CITIES guarded by the lion turtles, I only saw ONE WOMAN and it was because the spirits were attacking the village and they had to get the shot of a woman cowering and clutching her child
wan refers to every new group of city-dwellers as "people" but there are no women spotted among them, no women spotted in the crowd of the poor rebels, in the first fire-benders or early air-benders picking fruit . . . but they are the people/humans
this season of the show was made in 2013
men are literally seen as default humans and i'm seeing it in so many children's shows . . . and looking back i can see how it affected me as a girl, and it breaks my heart

Mr Roger's Message of support to Transgender Kids: "It's you I like..."
ok, yes that header is a little clickbaity. Let me clarify. I believe Mister Roger's work supports trans kids, and trans people, and so I present to you this compilation of some wonderful things he said that are supportive of the needs of trans kids.
Fred Rogers did not, to my best knowledge, say anything specifically about trans people.
He was 75 when he died in 2003, and although that seems recent enough, those who were at least a teen at that time know how limited public knowledge and acceptance of trans people was; many trans people ourselves understood very little at the time. So one can hardly expect that of him. The man was a flawed human being like any other, as he and his wife urged people to remember, an understanding that was consistent with his view of the equality of his fellow humans.
Unfortunately, some grown up conservatives dont care to understand the core philosophy of Mr Rogers- loving yourself and others, just the way we are, as human beings, as neighbors. So I discovered when I was looking for Mr Rogers songs for my preschool class. Apparently, a song he made that references gender is being misused to spread the false message that it is somehow consistent with his beliefs to force kids into unwanted gender identity. The song, Everybody's Fancy, written in 1967 (19 SIXTY SEVEN, a time when he could hardly be expected to understand transgender issues), in fact, was simply meant to comfort very small children who may not understand that they will always be themselves throughout their life, including a presumably cis kid perhaps experiencing anxiety about if their gender will remain the same. For a cis kid who WANTS to stay their same gender, and worries that could just change, that would be an incredibly good and important message.
Rogers didn't mean this to say to trans kids, "you arent who you say you are and never will be accepted". THAT would be the exact opposite of so many things he DID say, which were about loving yourself for who you are, and loving your neighbor unconditionally. And so, here is the REAL message of Fred Rogers to trans children:

Why did British children's TV keep trapping interesting story concepts within game shows? Raven, Mission 2110, to a lesser extent Relic (though I guess that was kind of Night at the Museum). Free them and give us the plots we desire!

Not to have a favourite episode of a children's TV show on main, but "Daddy Dropoff" is my favourite episode of "Bluey" and honestly? Probably one of my favourite TV episodes of all time.
It's a pretty simple throughline of Bandit dropping the kids off, but I feel like it perfectly encapsulates the microcosm of parenting. Bandit is very clearly frustrated by running late for dropoff, but he doesn't take it out on the kids and still takes time to play their games with them without dismissing them, even knowing they'll be late.
Ultimately, it comes back to that post I made about being a "yes parent" the other day and a lot of that was based on this episode. It is so important to remember that 9 times out of 10, of you're late for something, that's on you and it's up to you as the adult to shoulder that responsibility, not get annoyed with the kids. By the same token, it's realising "you are already late, what difference does it make being a little bit more late in order to indulge your children?".
That really spoke to me a lot because so often I get a bit het up about being "late" for dropoff, but ultimately I have a very flexible job and so an extra few minutes will not impact my day, so yeah, we can take 10 minutes to walk a 2 minute walk because my son wanted to hide behind my legs the whole way, or say hello to every cat, ant, and snail we see.
And then, the episode underlines the importance of this by showing that Bandit taking the time to play with Bingo is what led to her meeting her best friend Lila and then goes in for my ultimate tearjerker weakness, the poignant flashforward, showing a montage of Bingo and Lila growing up and eventually graduating together.
It's just a really good episode.
