Everyone: Honest to god please let this be something for the older group of kids....

Pbs kids: SPLASH AND BUBBLES THE NEW PRE-K SHOW!!!!!

Everyone: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pbs kids: DID YOU KNOW THE WORLD IS ONE OCEAN?

Everyone: AAAUUUGGGHHHHHH YEAH WE KNOW!!!!!!

It's not even that. I tend to like pre-k and kindergarten age shows as well as slightly more mature shows, as long as the creators put some imagination into their work. For example, Octonauts. A good, creative show. Splash and Bubbles, not a good show. It's just fish in the ocean. Even Dinosaur Train is decent because they have something unlikely and fun: dinosaurs on trains. Yeah, but in the recent years, a lot of the pre-k shows have been failing. Like, the dinosaur train goes to the center of the earth? THE CENTER IS LIKE TEN TIMES HOTTER THEN THE SUN! But i guess the magic school bus did that too...well at least the magic school bus is better at explaining it. And i agree, some pre-k shows are ok. Like, i still laugh to the same ep of curious george running down the street with dount people chasing them!
 * Everyone runs for cover

Or how about the time where they get lost in the city?

Or that good old music from the show?

I wish splash and bubbles would take it that way, a way that no matter how old you are you still laugh to the same thing. Or all the other pre-k shows.

Oh my i made a speech here...... Be patient. It still has to be educational, you know. Try writing your own show and sending it in! It's harder than you think. No Mary Sues or Gary Sues! (Means almost perfect personalities) Ok....but i hope to GOD that a new show for the older group of kids come out... You know what? That's actually a good idea! We could write a show and submit it! They say that kids would write the best shows for kids, after all! There's a thing on the Help page on the PBS Kids site where you could go if you have a show idea. But we could make a whole pilot ourselves and send it to begin! Pilots almost never air anyway. We've got animators, VAs, story developers....this could work! All while making it educational, and subtle education, like most Odd Squad episodes. YOUR RIGHT! WE CAN SAVE THE KIDS THAT ARE IN NEED OF HELP BECAUSE OF CRINGE! LETS DO IT! Now....anyone have any ideas? Hmmmm.................. Before we do that, what's the age target? Should we save young kids from cringe, or make an older kid show? Or should we make it well-rounded? That's really hard though. It's so hard, PBS Kids hasn't really been doing it.... Something that wouldn't leave anyone out...

Something that would support all ages of kids.... Ok. But here's the hard part: kids of young age don't have a wide attention span. You have to make the plot have education, and it has to be simple, but not too simple.
