PBS made two mistakes recently in regards to it's PBS Kids programming.
First of all, they removed It's a Big Big World (my favorite evening broadcast for the kids on PBS) for a new program called Super WHY! I'm OK with the new program, I just wish they would have removed Dragon Tales instead. I must say that I'm not a big fan of Dragon Tales. And, in the world of watching TV with small children it's all about tolerance as shows/movies are usually watched in bulk. It's just the way it is.
We only watch TV occasionally so it's not a life and death situation, but it is still unfortunate at the same time.
The second, and bigger issue, is that Miss Lori was not replaced. Instead, they simply changed her outfit (which is an upgrade, I admit). I am sure she's a great person in real life...but she annoys me to no end on PBS and she's just got to go. They can get rid of Hooper while they are at it too. I wouldn't mind.
P.S. It's a Big Big World is still on PBS, but is now on at 10:30am each morning instead.
You mean no more watching Natters give a High Five to that crazy jungle creature?! Thats not ok.
ReplyDeleteIf the kids run out of stuff to watch, I have some Mr. Show and South Park DVDs they can borrow.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep that in mind. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAgreed (even though she stopped doing that quite a while ago).
ReplyDeleteWe like Miss Lori. But we don't see her all that often so maybe that is why she doesn't bother me. Get a TiVo and you can watch Big Big World whenever you choose. :) That's what we do with Monkey George (the only show the kids watch these days).
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately...I have got to believe that more people agree with you than me. Otherwise, she'd no longer be around.
ReplyDeleteDear Twenty Six. I am sorry to hear that you dislike my work, but completely respect your right to your opinion. I learned a long time ago that I wasn't going to please everyone all of the time with my efforts. Just as I teach my children to do,
ReplyDeleteI googled "Miss Lori being replaced" and wound up here. It may be mean, but I was hopeful.
