This article was nominated for deletion on 17/7/2006. The result of the discussion was keep. |
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.

[edit] Sesame Street
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.

[edit] Violence in childrens programming
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)
For U.S. kid's shows, VR Troopers should be up there.
[edit] Ren and Stimpy
I thought ren and stimpy was a canadian show, and is it even a kids show in the first place?
[edit] This article sucks
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)
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:

[edit] a pagemove to Children's television programming ?
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)
this site should have a list of web sites that kids can get on too
