Talking Pictures: February 2010 Archives

Dom was wondering,

Are there any kid shows where kids are seen primarily as part of a family as opposed to autonomous, a la Dora or Sesame Street?

Let's see.... Just going down the PBS Kids website, I see:

Berenstain Bears
Caillou
Dragon Tales
Dinosaur Train
the awesome WordGirl
Arthur
Maya and Miguel
Between the Lions
Clifford
Martha Speaks

If you stretched it a bit, Curious George lives with a "dad" (the Man in the Yellow Hat). And Thomas and his friends live in a kind of family situation (with Sir Topham Hatt as the father)

...only for Mother Assumpta Long: I actually watched Oprah today. I blogged about it over at Feminine Geniuses. (Hint: Did you know nuns DON'T HAVE SEX??!!)
