Has childrens television been dumbed down? Is contemporary programming really as trivial, vacuous and repetitive--or indeed as subversive and anarchic--as some critics suggest? How does childrens television reflect broader changes both in broadcasting and in conceptions of childhood itself?Amid all the recent controversies surrounding childrens television, commentators have been too ready to condemn the anti-educational influence of Teletubbies, the dangerous sensuality of Live and Kicking, or the violence and vulgarity of American cartoons without ever taking a serious look at what they have to offer.Small Screens offers detailed coverage of childrens programming in the United States and Britain, considering the changing ways in which children have been defined, addressed and entertained by television. The authors explore the key genres, including cartoons, costume drama and advertising; they discuss significant and controversial programs including South Park, Teletubbies and Grange Hill; and they look at the experience of dedicated childrens channels and of TV-related websites.

The Lively Audience (1986) studies television from the children’s own point of view. Contrary to most prevailing opinion, it contends that television has much to teach children, and that their relationship with the medium is not one of passive dependency after all. Research shows that what children gain from television depends very much on the child’s age and social experience, and that children ‘see’ television differently from adults. This book examines this issue, and gives us a different understanding of the child audience and the impact of their television viewing.
