26 Outrageous Truths About Children's Television
In the latest mental_floss video, John Green gives us the lowdown on children’s TV. I well recall the panic over the seizure-inducing Pokemon show. I couldn’t stand Barney the dinosaur, but I did not know how far some other haters would go to demonize the dino. And then there are many shows included here that I am not at all familiar with, but you may be. Learn something new about the shows you grew up with!
I'm waiting for Mental Floss to go meta. Like a video called "18 Outrageous Truths about Mental Floss." John Green exposes the secrets of the Mental Floss media empire.
