Now it is true that the CPA has helped matters but not always for the good of the people. Sometimes kids, re- gardless of age, just want to be entertained by a fun and wholesome show (think: live action local stuff) other than the news. Lets revise the standards and bring back the cowboys, magicians, puppets and clowns back to local TV just for the fun of it and forget about teaching ABCs and Numbers.

I hate Teletubbies with a passion. I lost all respect for PBS when they aired that show. My youngest two were just tiny little guys when the popularity of that show spiked and other moms were telling me oh they'll love it, blah blah blah. I watched it first (as I do with everything I let the kids watch) and omg I felt my brain cells dying a painful excruciating death....
