actually the funnier part of that is that she has developed the habit of saying "I hate _______" whenever something is on the screen of the TV that isn't whatever she wants to watch and last month her parents had to explain why she can't say things like "I hate Black History Month" lol

"You could always try watching Cheers, Dr. Crane. That might hit the spot for you." "I did try that, Daphne! He said Cheers was 'Frasier-adjacent', and vetoed it!" "Well, I suppose Frasier was a regular from season 5 on..." "Oh, don't you start that on me!"

Redezga posted:I visited a friend I hadn't seen in a few years recently and her 5 year old was intensely into Beyblades to the point I ended up dueling him for like 2 hours and figuring out trick rips and stuff. I have no idea how he even knew it existed but the way he talked about it all his friends were into them. The most recent anime ended over a decade ago, so I don't think he would have seen it on TV. i imagine someone made some tik toks about or something. that is the main reason anything is popular with kids these days

My dad watches reruns of Frasier every day but he refuses to watch new Fraiser and I can't imagine what they possibly could have done to mess it up for him.babypolis posted:i imagine someone made some tik toks about or something. that is the main reason anything is popular with kids these days Come to think of it one other thing I learned while there is that neither he nor his younger sister watch regular TV anymore. It's like 1/3 kids shows on Netflix, and the other 2/3 were youtube children's entertainers who sing in front of a green screen and talk to puppets. It's a super low budget setup but their view counts are astronomical. Redezga has issued a correction as of 15:34 on Mar 22, 2024 |

Al! posted:lol that they made the chinese people white Well, I watched it and it's not quite that bad but it's still bad. Any character that was a "good guy" is now a westerner. Chinese antagonists from the book are still Chinese, of course. And we can't depict modern day China in a positive light so pretty much anything set there got moved to the UK.

sonatinas posted:I barely watched it but my kid loves it. seems like an ok show. is it decent? It's a bit dumb, bordering on very dumb when it tries to do political subplots. e.g. the big central political marriage subplot that the leads don't know about despite being a) royalty and b) close family of half the couple. But it's the kind of show whose "politics" keep being derailed by the child king wandering off into the forest to fight monsters and have adventures like the avatar knock off it desperately wants to be. It has never met a cute animal it couldn't find a way to give a distracting amount of screen time to, either. I swear they just keep gaining more and more annoying supporting animal friends, they kind of suck or awkward comic relief. There's some interesting ish stuff around the edges, but it's mostly Avatar methadone. Open Source Idiom has issued a correction as of 20:15 on Mar 22, 2024 |

I've spent a lot of time watching Nickelodeon shows and the only one actually worth rewatching as an adult is Hey Arnold. However, the episode of of Rugrats titled "Chuckie's Wonderful Life" where Chuckie wishes he was never born is excellent, really good stuff. The episode where Chuckie thinks he has Rhinoceritis is pretty funny too.
