Our kids absolutely adore this show, and so do my wife and I. It is just about the only thing we'll let them watch.

As others have said: it's because the show isn't trying to force any ridiculous cultural progressivism on my children.

But also: it doesn't seem to be made by (am I joking?) the same people who would otherwise make slot machines. While other kids shows seem like an outright attack on my children's attention, this show is just happy, wholesome short stories about a family having fun together. We absolutely adore this show in my household.

As a sidenote: it's very hopeful to me that a show like this (utterly non-political, just shows a happy family) is as popular as it is. It's culturally dominant for kids. I hope this is a lesson for Disney et al. (Disney+ does carry this show in the US, but it is not produced by them.)




Even though it's not political, the right-wingers feel the need to make their own version with "traditional family values". It's called Chip Chilla: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/oct/17/is-new-kids-...

Seems ridiculous to me; they show "traditional" gender roles in the ripoff show to avoid "indoctrination".
