Got to disagree. Australia makes fantastic children's television.
Thinking Round the Twist, Henderson Kids, Our House (going back many years)
B's in PJ's. Sure if you are talking about teenage drama series than yes
we don't do that or sitcom's well. But recently there was Raw FM (Nadine
Gardner can do no wrong), Wild Side, Good Guys Bad Guys. These are all
programs that are well worth the time it takes to watch them and also fit a
teenage demographic. You just have to look through the bs programming to
find them.
Internationally as well as Degrassi there was a show called Life Goes On
did anybody see that?
cheers
