Disney Chuggington Gamble

There was once a wonderful children's show called Chuggington, but as soon as the BBC-owned show went on to Disney Juniour in the US, the American version has become a very greedy version with a horrible dub.

Chuggington aired in the UK on Cbeebies in 2008, and still does now. Treehouse TV started to air Chuggington in Canada in 2009 (with the British dub). In March 2010, it started to air on Disney Juniour....and thats when the greed began.

The ratings were high for a show with an American dub that once you hear Dunbar, Action Chugger, Pete, or Vee's voices could make anyone die instantly. These high ratings gave bad things. The UK and Canada had to wait a year for merchandise. The US? About 6 months. They even get their products now before the UK and Canada!

Chuggington recently got renewed for a third season (by BBC) and nothing has aired for the British dub promoting it. But an American advert came on for it today. This is where I draw the line.

LISTEN UP CHUGGINGTON! WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS WRONG TO THE FANS! IF WE CAN WAIT, THE AMERICANS CAN WAIT! WE KNOW THAT THIS IS ONLY FOR THE MONEY! WE ARE ON TO YOU!

FANS! JOIN TOGETHER AND BRING DOWN THIS HORRIBLE FRANCHISE PAIN! WHILE WE STILL CAN!

Tank Engine is the most Popular, and bound for Knock Offs

Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends was first brought into North America after its British debut in 1984. North America's version was "Shining Time Station". Thomas is available in almost every single country, and its no doubt as for this is a great and very educational children's TV show.

But since it is the most popular, at flea markets and dollar stores across the world, many knock offs are being sold; wooden models with the same face each, flashing chuffing toys, but the worst or on DinoDirect.com. They sell Thomas models from Alloy which are big Take N Play models with annoying sounds, evil looking faces, and wrong colours and wrong names (ex: instead of Harvey, Harevy). It's not doubt that Thomas' owner, HiT Entertainment are aware, but nothing seems to be done.

Still, make sure you buy licensed Thomas products, because the ones that aren't have not been tested and may be poisonous. Beware of Knock Offs.

My Little Pony Community is Huge...with Male Fans

Grown men sit around the house everyday and watch reality shows, sitcoms, sketch comedies, etc. Some grown men sit around the house and would rather watch "My Little Pony". The girls TV show is loved by male people around the world, collecting happy pink ponies.

One of these fans danced around in front of a camera with his shirt off. Some of these fans hack into other fans accounts and terrorize other fans. A girl's product has cought attention of many males, which is very scary. The internet might have some stalkers on its hands.

Purple Dinosaur Barney late for a Renewal

HiT Entertainment owns the property of Barney the Dinosaur, a children's TV show that nobody is unaware of its existence. But there has been no announcement of a renewal of a fifteenth season. Thomas the Tank Engine is now obviously much more entertaining and is going further. Thomas is heading into its sixteenth season in the UK this fall, while Barney has not even been announced of a fifteenth.

Parents may seem to find Barney unsustainable, as for songs continuously of a purple dinosaur. The worst part may be the 20 year olds on the internet who are interested in the show STILL, and run their own fansites. They do the same with Thomas, but that is understandable as for it is not annoying. This might be a good sign and the right time for Barney to close itself with no new episodes for 2 years.

Bert and Ernie Marriage might be brought to Shelves

There has been a debate that the Bert and Ernie characters from popular and almost 50-year-old children's TV show Sesame Street will soon get married. It may target a certain area of kids and say that it is okay to be whatever you want, but it may encourage too many kids at this stage.

DVDs might be brought to the shelves if this is correct information, along with toys. If it does go like this, it would go too far and might encourage kids to be the same. It isn't wrong, but it may not be the intentional message.
