My sister is currently watching a cartoon for kids called Word Party. Look, I'm not expecting a deep philosophical message about how life is meaningless and nothing matters, but Jesus Chris I feel like I'm losing brainchells watching it. It feels like a never-ending stroke while being high on bleach.

There's no clear line of thought. The animation is so bad it feels like a fever dream, the topics they touch are so absurdly stupid that I'm surprised kids can enjoy this. The voice acting is horrible too, everyone talks as if they were drunk. What the fuck is this, seriously.

Not to state the obvious, but that's one show. That is not "shows." And one-note kids' shows aren't particularly new; it's an easy demographic to hit.

I thought this was specifically about religious shows, and that you were calling stuff like Veggie Tales 'Jesus Christ Shows'. That amused me.

PBS Kids is where it's at for quality children's programming that doesn't require a subscription service.

This show is also pretty much for kids in diapers. The characters even wear diapers. Do you think teletubies was some grandiose thing? Toddler shows were always like this.

With the title and the way op kept saying g "Jesus Christ" I thought this was a Bible cartoon.

Then I searched the show on Google and wished it was a Bible cartoon

Pocoyo's pretty solid. Personally, we solved the problem by introducing our 3 year old to Spider-Man. No more dumb kids show!

Which highly intelligent and smart shows for kids did you watch back in the day? With quality animation, voice acting and all of that.

Im not gonna lie, We Bare Bears is my "Old man yells at a cloud" show, seems like a show revolving around 3 selfish manchildren (who are also bears so we don't hate them) and tries too hard to be modern and "relatable" but ends up rendering an unflattering image of the demographic it's trying to portray.

Dear goodness, i want to punch that stupid panda in the face so damn hard.

When I went to see Toy Story 4 there were at least five trailers for shitty-looking animated kids movies with terrible, lazy CG animation, fart and poop jokes, physical humor, and all kinds of other stupid low-brow crap for two-year-olds, and then a trailer for Frozen 2 which is gorgeously animated and looks great. Disney just operates on another level compared to these lowest common denominator animated films, knowing that it's possible to make something that is geared for kids while still featuring good animation, strong characters, and a message.

Word Party is particularly brain dead, OP. It's educational for babies.

Try Wallykazam. It's educational but frequently funny and really cute.

My daughter watches some British infotainment show called Maggie something about a dude and his talking magpie. I find it absolutely grating but it is actually decent for learning because they repeat stuff until it sticks. So my little Teemo can sit there and go. "Elephant! Elephant daddy!"
Shows are not more or less shit these days, you're just an adult.

This looks like a show meant for fairly young children, and appears to be an educational show meant to build their vocabulary. I don't know what you expected.

Swore this thread was about kids shows all about Jesus and wondered what the fuck kind of shows were out there for this kind of material.

The characters wear diapers, so OP I'm going to go out on a limb at say you aren't the target demographic. With the title Word Party they're likely trying to provide very young children an educational experience.

Hate caillou with the force of a 1,000 suns.

That being said, Sesame Street is still quality, Daniel Tiger, Ducktales, muppet babies, bubble guppies, and Doc Mc stuffins are pretty quality.

And then when they get older they watch power rangers, Pokémon, and other awesome shows that make you wonder "why did I ever stop watching these?"

Yes, these show are so brainless compared to all the shows primarily developed to sell us toys that we watched when we were kids.

Courage, SpongeBob, Pokemon. None of this dumb shit, as a kid I would've sued my parents if they forced me to watch this shit.
