At least before a shrill, red-haired monster made his debut. :D But seriously, all that show does is teach kids to watch TV and get bored at school when their teachers don't sing, dance and wave puppets around during the lessons. If "educational" television is such a boon, how come so many kids today are so illiterate?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
