Baby Looney Tunes (2001)
Get over yourselves
Holy crap people, this show was clearly never meant to be a true prequel to the original Looney Toons series. It's a lot like "A Pup Named Scooby Doo" in that it simply takes well- known characters, them turns them into children and puts them in a modern setting. I watched this show in middle school when I stayed home from school sick because it was relaxing. I think it's cute, the characters maintains many of their original traits but as toddlers/preschoolers. It's nice that some of them appear to be slightly older or younger. This show is no masterpiece, and it never claimed to be. But it's nicely done, entertaining, and teaches nice little moral lessons. The color palette is kinda soft which is nice for very young children or sick preteens. Not overly stimulating like many other cartoons. If you want to see the original Looney Toons, for God's sake watch the original! This show is a nice companion to the original by offering a change of setting. Really, it's pretty cute and perfectly harmless.
Between the Lions (1999)
I loved this show
I watched Between the Lions when I was little and I loved it, as did my older sister. It was a lot like Sesame Street, but just about reading and language. My favorite segment was always Cliff Hanger, I loved that it was a pun and that they had a cartoon portion on a show that was mostly puppets. I was a pretty good reader as far as I can remember, but I learned new words and phrases from watching this show. It is very educational and entertaining for kids up to age 8. It teaches kids about the essence of stories, not just how to read. It teaches about plot devices (like Cliff Hanger!) and reading comprehension. Now it's been a long time since I watched this show, but my mom allowed me to watch it and therefore it cannot be as obnoxious as some people say it is (I was not allowed to watch Spongebob for the sole reason that my mother thought it was annoying). I think it's a good quality show and it's nice that it focuses entirely on reading, instead of trying to cram a million lessons into one half-hour episode. Kids should watch this before starting kindergarten to get a nice head start.
