Exactly. I directed a kids in the hall sketch for a talent show my senior year of high school. One of the kids kept looking at the crowd and nodding as he did his joke and i fucking exploded at him backstage.... ''ITS NOT FUNNY, ITS STUPID."
I told him if he did it again, i was oging to replace him.... I cant stand that crap.. breaking the "3rd wall" is rarely funny. It is gold when it IS, but that is VERY rare. Trading Places is an example where it was funny.
for kids shows, i like Jimmy Neutron. it is smart, and they usually get their facts straight when they bring actual science into things. They also usually have just enough references to things that parents will get.
