Children's Television Report The first show I will be discussing is Peppa Pig. I watched this show at 2pm on Nickelodeon Jr. The second show I will be discussing is Curious George. Curious George is my son's personal favorite show so we watched it together at 3pm on PBS. Peppa Pig didn't consist of a one 30 minute plot, instead the show contained several mini adventures each about 4 to 5 mins long. The first one was titled, Frogs and Worms and Butterflies. Peppa and her brother George are helping their grandpa in the garden when Peppa spots a beautiful butterfly. They learn from grandpa pig that butterflies like flowers because they get their food from them. They use their long tong to suck the nectar out. Peppa pretends to be a butterfly and when her brother …show more content…

This is Peppa and George's favorite thing to do so they all decide to be frogs and jump in puddles. In the second adventure, the Treehouse, Peppa and her family visit randma and grandpa pig. Grandpa Pig surprises Peppa and George with a treehouse. Peppa excitingly enters the house, but first, she remembers her grandma taught her to remove her muddy shoes before entering. When George asked if he could join in she politely asked him to remove his shoes as well. However, when Mommy Pig ask if she can come in the tree house Peppa replies that she must say the magic words which are "daddy's big tummy."

When Daddy Pig asks if he can come into the tree house, Peppa replies he must say the magic words, embarrassed he asks for a different magic saying. When Peppa insists, he says "Daddy's big

The second little pig was building himself a house also, but he too, like his brother, was a lazy little pig that did not like to work much.

In the 1890’s, somewhere in England “The Story of the Three Little Pigs” was created. In this fairy-tale, an old sow sends out three pigs to find their wealth. Firstly, while establishing their wealth, the pigs came across this man that supplied them with material to build their houses. Therefore each pig begins to build their own house, either out of straw, sticks, or stones. The pigs soon after came across the wolf and he blows down the first two pigs houses and eats the pigs. Secondly, there is one pig left, but his house is too strong to blow down. The wolf then tries to outsmart the pig by sending him to different locations to meet him instead of trying to blow down his house. On the other hand, the pig ends up outsmarting the wolf by showing up an hour early to all the destinations. Lastly at the final destination, the fair, the pig scares the wolf by rolling down a hill in a butter churner out of fear of seeing the wolf coming towards the fair. In the end, the wolf got fed up with the pig and declared to eat the pig by climbing through the chimney. The pig once again outsmarts the wolf by putting a pot of boiling water under the chimney and the wolf ends up falling in. The pig, then proceeded to eat the wolf. The third pig ate the wolf as a survival tactic when the wolf declared to eat the pig by using his wits to outsmart

“In the late 1960s, a television producer named Joan Ganz Cooney set out to start an epidemic. Her targets were three-, four-, and five-year-olds. Her agent of infection was television, and the “virus” she wanted to spread was literacy” (Gladwell 89). The Tipping Point is a book on the study of epidemics- including mental epidemics and trends. Sesame Street, still one of the most iconic shows to date, is an epidemic; the splurge of knowledge that appeared in children after it began to air is undeniable. The show started production in New York in 1968. Shows for children such as Sesame Street support children in school and throughout life by teaching them memorable lessons from helpful muppets. Nevertheless, how and

When the TV show first started, Pierre was given a little toy bank. As the movie went on and the show became more and more successful, more dolls started appearing around the room. Then when the movie started to go south, the piggy banks started going crazy. Slowly at first, then eventually completely freaking out.
understatement : The majority of this book is rather overstatement than under. Usually this is from Pig whilst he is proving his character matches his name. The line “yes, Pig shares his toys now,” is the only understatement clearly identifiable. Pig doesn’t have much say about sharing his toys as he is too broken and bandaged up to stop Trevor from
Another different thing about the story was when the events took place. They showed the pigs walking on their hind legs after they showed when Jessie couldn’t tell the difference between the humans and the pigs.
Over time there has been a major debate over television and children. Some think that kids shouldn’t watch it, some say that it is okay in moderation, and others say it doesn’t have any effects. The real debate starts when one starts to talk about the content of the shows. Sesame Street is a show that most would say is for all ages, but is it truly educational? Can kids really learn from it?
