I wrote a few days ago about the Jonas Brothers and their new show on Disney. That show sounds exactly like the kind we are trying to avoid in my house, so I am going pretend I never even heard about it. Over at Children's Media Consultant, executive editor Ashley has not only heard about the Jonas Brothers' new show, but a whole bunch more that you and I haven't. As a professional in the world of children's television, she has a unique insight into where kids' entertainment has been and where it is going. Where is it going? Her site has a list of new shows in development that the networks hope your children will be watching soon. These are a few that caught my eye. Check out her site for more.
For the preschool set, PBS Kids is working on What's the Big Idea, a digital puppetry series produced by The Jim Henson Company that aims to promote science readiness by building on a young child's natural curiosity. In the show, a character named Josh seeks to explain such mysteries as where the garbage goes and how a drinking straw works. Can't argue with a show that teaches kids something, right?
Queen Bees is the working title for a new reality show on The N. The eight-episode series pits teenage girls against each other in outrageous challenges to determine just which one really is the leader of the hive. This sounds absolutely horrid to me, which probably means the kids will love it.
Nickelodeon's Making Fiends might potentially be something we could watch, but judging by the illustrations, the flat animation isn't going to catch the eye of your average 7-year-old. The show features classmates Charlotte and Vendetta, two girls with nothing in common. Sweet, puppy-loving, hug-giving Charlotte wants very much to be friends with a horrible child named Vendetta. Could be a lesson in there somewhere.
Since the networks develop lots of shows at the same time, some of these may not ever make it to your living room. But check out the list and see if any sound like something you would want your kids to watch.

Kris said...Making Fiends was an independant cartoon made by Amy Winfrey and was an internet only thing until it was picked up by Nick. She sold her rights to it completely, which makes me very sad. It is fun and very neat to watch in the unadulterated version...we bought the DVD's before they were completely ruined by Nick (they made her make all sorts of uneeded and ridiculous changes). We won't be watching it on Nick. As a matter of fact I find the programming on Nickelodeon to be substandard and horrible and we avoid it in ourhome at all costs. JMHO.

Ashley said...Thanks for the links, Sandy! You raise a good point about the animation style of "Making Fiends." Sometimes an audience can surprise us, though ... I look forward to seeing what happens with all of the developing shows!
