Now if you want nasty watch what disney makes these days. Shriek is full of sex jokes. Also you shouldn't protect kids from everything otherwise you end up with a child who can't deal with the real world and it's problems. Most people with over protective parents end up in quite a bit of trouble when they enter the real world. Be selective. But do allow your childern to see that there is a ugly side to the world just don't let them see it all or all at the same time. And please don't tell me a sloth acts like a stoner, or that because of a broad range of personalities. that one character is this or that or this. If you wanted we could put all the characters in suits and ties and make them teach kids accouting and never worry about teaching life leasons. Tv in general has gone to the dogs and even though PBS has lost some ground, such as word world with no phonics involved (makes me miss the letter people) problem is that it is becoming more entertainment and less educational probably for ratings. But that's business. Wow this was the most amazing thing I’ve ever read some people read way to deeply into things. Now if you want nasty watch what disney makes these days.

I haven't watched PBS in many months but when I did I thought the same things about "Big World". I've never seen that science show but we used to watch Arthur. Once they aired an episode about profanity, something my children (ages 3 and 5) know nothing about (so far). Anyway, it was supposed to be about NOT saying naughty words but they did a parody of The Sopranos in which they used lots of bleeping. In the show DW and those twins required lots of bleeping. They have also done parodies of other adult shows such as South Park and made references that would (or should) go over a child's head. PBS also (used to) aired Wish Bone a show about a dog with a vivid imagination. Once they portrayed Jekyll & Hyde in which Dr. Jekyll actually COMMITTED SUICIDE. Hows that for "a safe place for kids" ? Lol. I haven’t watched PBS in many months but when I did I thought the same things about “Big World”.
