    Well, they're aimed at kids because kids are more probably to appreciate them. And children's television is just low quality nonsense. I don't know if they still air real shows like Alfons Åberg, Mumin and Bamse here, but it's not what the TV watching children I occasionally encounter prefer to view, sadly.

    Not really. saying it is "low quallty nonsense" is just the POV of people who don't like the show.

    Most shows arn't "aimed" at kids (Although atmididly some are) they are amied at who wants to watch them.

    And even if they are adults can still watch AND they can still like them.

    The only thing is people are scared to admit it.

    I watch what I like. And If people mention it I say "I like that show" and I don't care what happens next. Saddly I can't flat out admit I like certain "Kids" shows because I am so distanced with labling I wouldn't know if it was one or not.

    And also: Some shows that SOME people have listed as "kids shows" have very deap plots involved so they are hardly "Low" on anything.

    Basically watch what you want to watch and stop labling it as beeing a certain age - leave that to the ageist cretins in shops and at "Rotten Tomatoes .com"

    I think The Simpsons is the worst show that children seem to watch these days. I cannot believe how early it's on at night.

    Other than that, most childrens TV is fine.

    Tinky-Winky has a purse.
    That triangle on his head,

    But, for me, it's just a sign
    That Jerry has too much free time.

    The fact that children watch The Simpsons just shows that children don't care about content. As long as it's cartoons that do things, it doesn't matter what. Very few children have the brains to appreciate the sophisticated humour of The Simpsons.

    That's because (Steriotypicaly) Kids get more of the jokes than adults do.

    The only children's programme I watch with any degree of regularity is Chucklevision. There's something about two aging, moustachioed idiots from Rotherham doing "comedy" (and I use that term in its loosest possible sense), that really brings out the kid in me. I find it hilarious, which is very worrying.

    Otherwise, I'll only watch programmes from when I was a kid (Thundercats, Knightmare etc.).

    The Doodlebops is a really horrible kid show. I miss Carmen Sandiego. That show was fantastic. I'm not sure what it was about, but the theme song alone owns.
