TV Alert: Kids Choice Awards 2012 on March 31

Oh, the Muppets lost a pretty much un-important award? Oh dear. How will I go on?

 

[Sgt Floyd]

Well the poeple who are voting are mostly young children and tweens :/

 

[Pinkflower7783]

Like I said at least we all can't say we didn't try.

 

[Pinkflower7783]

Yeah it's obvious by who won. Oh well at least Kermit won't have to get dry cleaned from being slimed.

 

[Sgt Floyd]

Lol thats a positive spin on it XD

Wait, the Chipmunks beat The Muppets AND Harry Potter? Ouch. Why in the world do parents encourage their kids to watch garbage these days?

Most parents just don't put that much thought into exposing their kids to quality. That was true even when I was a kid.

Right. And they should, because kids are inexplicably drawn to the worst stuff. That's why I kind of side-eye Kevin Clash when he responds to Elmo-haters by saying something like, "The kids let us know what they like and respond to." Just because kids like it doesn't make it good. (By the way, this is not an Elmo-bash. I actually like the little guy. I despise his "world," but the character is fine.) I say parents should exercise some control over their kids' entertainment, and the world would be a smarter place in twenty years or so.

Exactly and that is a slight problem with trying to do education on Television. Education can't always be fun and exactly what kids want to hear. That's not good for them.
