I feel your pain. It's like "Sesame Street meets Baby Einstein".
Same thing applies to music, like some feeble attempts to "update" some of Joe Raposo's classic tunes. The blandness chokes the life out of it.
Depends on the cover. The show's in a funk-phase right now, which means catchier songs. The new version of "Two is You and Me" is great.

Ya nailed it. Baby Einsteins is a typical example of that look, or "Preschool Vectorian," as I call it.

And even shows that don't have that look, like Martha Speaks, are still marred by that horrible lifeless Flash movement that always reminds you that you're looking at a bunch of colored vectors obeying simple computer commands.
I never thought anything could make the Hanna-Barbera and Filmation shows of the late 1970s look good by comparison, but modern vector stuff does it. :rolleyes: Sure, that movement was stiff and super lifeless, but you know what? Compared to this, at least it looked organic. Like it was created by humans. That means something.
