Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood (2012)
Not suitable for child rearing
Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood has very few redeeming qualities. It encourages children to work together, and teaches them that they are all the same even if they have physical differences. These lessons are commendable.
However, this program encourages children to throw temper-tantrums. The parents always maintain an understanding demeanor as the child has fits concerning anything that does not go their way. By reasoning and compassion, the hissy-fit subsides and the child returns to a calm stance. This is completely unrealistic because an adult cannot reason with a child. A child is incapable of understanding adult principles. They have the mind of a child.
This is one reason why the world is so violent and ungodly today. Parents allow children to do, say and go, whatever, whenever and wherever they want. No discipline is instilled and the child grows up believing the world was made to accommodate their desires.
Thankfully my parents did not raise me in this fashion. The manner in which the parents and children behave and interact on this show is like a parallel universe when compared to the way I was raised. My children will not be watching this show.

Foolish Decisions
I sometimes wonder if this show is a joke. I mean this in all seriousness. The prices of the homes these guys find to renovate are beyond ridiculous. They recently showed a young couple a 1700-2000 sq. ft old home listed for $749,000!!!! Are you kidding me? The house wasn't worth a penny more than $150k.
I can't believe the prices people pay for homes these days. I worked as a general contractor for over 10 years and I can honestly tell you, you are being robbed if you dole out this kind of cash for a home. When it is time to sell, you have overpaid by such an astronomical amount, you will almost certainly take a loss. That is what happened in the United States beginning around 2006. It seems as though people have not learned any lessons from what happened.
Resist the urge to buy 'RIGHT NOW', because you need a better living arrangement or because someone else might 'get the house'. Let them have it. Save your money and be sensible. People toss around $500,000- $850,000 home prices like they are a drop in the bucket. That is a lot of money. Think about that before committing to such a a tremendous obligation.
