  • Product Description

    Ruth Inglis examines children's television shows in the UK and US, from the soothing tones of Howdy Doody in the 1950s to the surreal landscapes of Teletubbyland. She discusses how commercial success has vied with the need to educate, how programs such as Blue Peter tried to instill feelings of compassion as well as entertain. It was, however, after Romper Room and Mister Rogers that the ground-breaking Sesame Street, really set the standard for teaching while remaining entertaining. The book also explores developments in animation techniques, from the string-operated puppets of Howdy Doody and Woodentops to Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons, and South Park
