I know there’s been a lot of edutainment aimed towards very young children. Kindergarten and pre-K children never seem to lack vaguely disturbing shows about aliens who want to teach them how to read, but sometimes I wonder about kids older than that. Where do they get their moral lessons from?
Shows like the new “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic” series have somehow attracted viewers of all ages, but is there anything like “The magic School Bus” What about this generation’s Bill Nye? Where is the television show that’s an obvious product of society’s biggest concerns?
Warren Buffet had the same questions. He’s better set up to do something about it, though, so get ready to experience his new series, “Secret Millionaires Club.” The New York Times describes it as, “a rebooted animated Web series that follows the adventures of a group of kids as they tackle financial emergencies, like low-performing lemonade stands and troubled bicycle shops.” Basically the most boring cartoon imagined and then — a Jay-Z appears, an animated example of How to Be Great.
This changes everything. That alone sets this up to easily out-do something like “Captain Planet,” since Jay-Z is real-life ballin’ and (thankfully) doesn’t have green hair. Jigga man, teach me how to balance my books. Diversifying portfolios is wonderous. In 2011, the magic school bus is probably a chopped up Maybach. Of course!
