I'm kinda with Stella on this. I need characters I can relate to, not characters I could have related to if they'd been around when I was a teen. I don't refuse to watch kid's shows, but there are very few that I will give a chance. If the previews don't show me something that relates to my adult life or personality, I don't bother watching the show.

You just summed up why I don't usually watch American shows for adults. I can't relate to how cynical the characters are!

Really? I don't know you but the few times I've seen you around you came off as incredibly cynical. Yesterday's Perry Mason thread springs immediately to mind of course, but you've posted stuff like that before.

You mean because I think the world's better today than it was in the past? A lot of the stuff I can't relate to feels like either "the world's worse today than it was in the past" or "the world's always been crap and always will be."

Well I have a pretty easy time interacting and relating to kids. They're people too, just smaller and still sucking in information like a sponge. So watching a child protagonist doesn't bother me at all as long as the story isn't condescending.

This. I don't see how or why becoming an adult would mean that you suddenly stop remembering what it was like to be a kid. I haven't been a teenager for over a decade, but I can still remember what it was like to be one and understand the sorts of things that teenagers think about.

I mean, hell, as an example, I just finished watching A Christmas Story. What makes that movie so relatable is the fact that almost everyone had an experience like that as a kid with something they desperately wanted for Christmas. My parents are in their 70s and still love that movie because it reminds them of their own childhoods.

You know, it's strange, but whenever I put down the "serious literature" and take a gander at some children's books, I always seem to find it not horribly difficult to their treatment of joy, loss, loneliness, insecurity, the need for love, etc. Why, it's almost as if these themes are universal. Like kids are human or something, and that we were once all like that. Weird.
