Green Screen Adventures - Children's TV

This is shown every Saturday here in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

And it is just awful.

It's for kids, so what do they have - a bunch of nasally, nerdy characters walking around trying to teach kids .... god knows what. It's like a cut rate version of Electric Company (a show I used to watch believe it or not, thirty years ago. Morgan Freeman and Rita Moreno were regulars.)

And at least on those shows - Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, Electric Company, the adults spoke as adults and never pandered down to the audience, as this piece of crap does.

I guess it's an overbroad style of acting that is used for TV shows aimed at kids and teens, but in this case it's offensive just because of the way the adults talk and act. They just sound so stupid. Now in real life I suppose kids with adenoids sound stuffed up in the same way, but they don't necessarily sound stupid.

No wonder kids today can never accomplish anything, if this is the kind of crap pap they watch.
