Personally, as a kid growing up in Canada, I found the Hanna-Barbera cartoons either insulting to my intelligence (<i>Scooby Doo</i>), just dumb (<i>Flintstones</i>), or highly irresponsible (<i>Tom and Jerry</i>). Much children's TV programming in most countries is probably similarly unsuitable crap. On the other hand, is there is the equivalent of <i>Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood,</i> or other educational programs in Korea, or are those missing or inadequate? leefr, dogbertt: Thanks for the explanations.

Yes. The title was shortened, regretably in my opinion.

I am really beginning to hate this Japanese crap, especially the horrible Korean voice-overs. "Ho-pang Man" was fine but the latest stuff would rot the brains of any intelligent child. Does Korea not have anyone reliable to evaluate what their children are watching!? "Thomas and Friends" has been on PBS in the states for some years already.

One is "Pat and Mat" from the Czech Republic, available on videos here, in which two characters set about to fix a problem with tools, create more problems, and finally solve the problem in an unlikely way. The other is "Thomas and Friends" from England. It is set on the imaginary Island of Sodor (part of the real Anglican Diocese of Man and Sodor). It's good for train enthusiasts and those who long for the better times when men and women wore hats. I forgot to recommend two other decent cartoons.

As a concerned father of two (aged 2 and 3), I have been evaluating kids programming lately. "빠끔" was a pleasant surprise. It reminded me of the old Loony Tunes catoons. The American stuff is too touchy-feely and the Japanese stuff is essentially softcore porn. [I once saw some cartoon (for kids in the afternoon) in which the scantilly-clad villainess was forcing the scantilly-clad heroine into a lesbian marriage. The good girls wear white thigh-high fishnet stockings and the bad girls wear black thigh-high fishnet in Japanese cartoons.] I agree.
