Quote-Unquote posted:Remember when it was a joke that Homer weighed 230lbs and was considered lazy and fat instead of just a normal guy? I remember when he discovers that he could get on disability if he got even fatter, then spends half the episode working his way up to 300lbs - never mind that eating what we typically see Homer eat would push most people well past that point. Some experts have actually placed some of the blame for the obesity epidemic on stuff like that - fatasses on TV are portrayed as eating every meal as though they're training for an eating contest, yet you can easily end up obese by eating slightly more calories than you burn over a period of years.

Gridlocked posted:I have a friend whose daughter is in prep school (that's 5 years old for non-Aus) and has been brought up on The Disney Channel. Is Sesame Street not airing anymore in Australia? Last I checked, it's still going strong in the US. And is anyone familiar with Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood? It's supposed to be based on the Land of Make-Believe from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, but when I took a look at it, it felt like just another preschool-kid-oriented show - little more than a cheap shot for name recognition.
