Children's television can sometimes be perceived as
dangerous territory for adults. First, parents worry that even some of the
content billed as children's programming could be inappropriate or contain
innuendoes children may pick up on. Another concern is whether the program is
actually educational and worthwhile to view or simply pointless childishness
hoping for parents' money. Once a show has been deemed appropriate and worthwhile,
parents must then deal with watching the silly programs themselves and being
excessively bored. However, some television shows created for kids can also be
enjoyed by parents, so the following are six children's television programs
that even adults can enjoy.
Mister Rogers' Neighborhood
One of the greatest multi-generational children's show is Mister
Rogers' Neighborhood, it was created just a few years after Sesame Street, the
show features Fred Rogers in his signature sweaters and changing shoes teaching
children about the various operations of a neighborhood. Mr. Rogers would
interview professionals in a particular job and go on tours of a workplace, so
this engaging process informs children and adults alike.
Schoolhouse Rock
Schoolhouse Rock has been seen on television and in
classrooms around the world since 1973. The show teaches valuable content
learned in school with catchy songs such as "Conjunction Junction” and
"I'm Just A Bill (And I'm Sitting Here on Capitol Hill)." Kids and
parents alike are entertained and their memories refreshed.
Team Umizoomi
Team Umizoomi has aired on Nick Jr. since 2010. Utilizing
modern computer animation, the show features a team of superheroes (including
the viewer) who use math skills to help a friend in need. The interactive
experience teaches basic math skills such as counting and sequences, and adults
can enjoy seeing their children learn and interacting with characters.
Doc McStuffins
Doc McStuffins is a new children's show airing on Disney
Channel. The show features a six-year-old girl who wants to become a doctor,
and she practices by "healing" and performing checkups on toys and
stuffed animals. Doc McStuffins also gives tips for a healthy lifestyle on
every episode, so the show familiarizes children with the atmosphere of a
doctor's office and lessens some of the stress. Parents can enjoy the program
and can use Doc McStuffins to encourage their children at real doctor visits.
Sesame Street
Sesame Street is the longest-running children's show of all
time. It premiered in November of 1969 and has run continually since then,
amassing 43 seasons and well over 4,000 episodes. Sesame Street features
engaging characters teaching preschoolers letters, numbers, words, and
important character traits. Another great thing about Sesame Street is that it
has been a program for more than one generation, and most modern parents can
watch the show with their toddlers and remember being entertained by the same
characters. Just like Sesame Street pioneered TV in the 1960s, it is doing the
same today with a new interactive program for the XBOX Kinect. Recent episodes
have been revamped to physically engage children, and the Kinect experience
involves throwing an invisible ball and playing with Elmo onscreen.
Arthur
The only show on the list that could be considered a sitcom is
Arthur. Featuring animals as personified elementary schoolers, Arthur is entertaining
but also confronts issues that many students deal with such as death, dyslexia,
and Alzheimer's. Adults can see the way the show introduces these issues and
expand on them with their children as they wish.
