Result: The whole show feels like Steve’s your teenage brother who is consenting to play games with you for a couple of minutes and kids love it. Adults get to feel bad for Steve, everybody wins.
Also, you kind of get the impression that while Steve hated doing the dumb show, he probably liked kids well enough in real life. "Joe" on the other hand seemed like he'd kiss anyone's ass for a big-money TV gig, but that otherwise he had less than zero interest in kids. He claimed that when he auditioned for the show, he'd never once seen it. (Also, Steve seems like a genuinely funny guy. There's an interview where he talks about how dates would creep him out asking for sex in the "thinking chair.")
So essentially, in my kid’s eyes, Spanish is the official language of delivery men and Chinese is the official language of project managers.
On Dora, most of the things that speak Spanish are inanimate objects that respond to commands. The only exception I can think of is the squirrel Tico, who lives in a crowded barrio tree village with nothing but a bunch of other plump, chattering, garishly-dressed squirrels.
Instead of entertainingly toylike felt kids, the producers of Lazytown decided to make their kids look like real kids whose faces are made of melting candlewax. Horrific.
All true, although watching Mangus Scheving flip around in a tight jumpsuit makes it all worthwhile.
My mother-in-law teaches kindergarteners and she told me that they have to have shows like Franklin because if it was all rock and roll fests like Jack’s Big Music Show (which is awesome, by the way) kids would flip out from being overstimulated.
I don't buy this one bit, unless by "overstimulated," she means "unable to sit unnaturally still for an entire school day without strong prescription medication." Franklin is waterboarding for toddlers, and Kindergarten teachers have to be the most joyless people on Earth. |
