When you think of the Emmy’s, you don’t normally think of children’s programming. There are several categories dedicated to the shows that keep our kids entertained and drive all of us crazy, though. I have to say that agree with the majority of the winners, simply due to the fact that my children love the shows.
Here is a partial list of the winners:
- Animated Program (for Programming One-Hour or More): “Destination Imagination (Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends) on Cartoon Network
- Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour): “South Park: Margaritaville” on Comedy Central
- Best Children’s Program: “Wizards of Waverly Place” on Disney Channel
- Children’s Nonfiction Program: “Grandpa, Do You Know Who I Am? With
Maria Shriver” on HBO and “Nick News with Linda Ellerbee: Coming Home:
When Parents Return from War” on Nickelodeon - Special Class – Short format Animated Program – ????? No winner?
Overall, I agree with the results. I love “Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends.” My kids actually don’t enjoy it as much as I do. I try to get them to watch it, but they normally walk out of the room. Bloo is so adorable, the humor is light and innocent, unlike “South Park,” which is a complete adult show. I have yet to understand why they make cartoons with adult-content. “Wizards of Waverly Place” is a great show for kids. All of my children love watching it and beg me to record the new episodes they may miss.
The Special-Class – Short-Format Animated Program did not have a winner. Was it just a joke? The nominees included “Spongebob Squarepants” and “Phineas and Ferb.” I don’t know why there wasn’t a winner, maybe because both shows have very little value and talent involved?
