Cake (2006)
This replaced Lazy Town?
As an adult I can appreciate the attempt at healthy hints (slumber party bits) and safety ( the "Party Time" mnemonic). The problem is the execution. The scripts are not well written, or adequately articulate the moral they're attempting to communicate and the characters are not what I would consider role models I would want the girls to emulate.
The girls(7 and 11 in age) loved the previous Nick Jr line up. Neither care for the new KOL secret slumber party programs that have replaced them. In the end I find Cake virtually unwatchable and agree with the girls that there are better things to watch. Lazytown was far better produced, effectively communicated a great message, and was much more entertaining in the process. The Nick Jr shows (Dora the Explorer, Blue's Clues, etc.) didn't play so heavily to gender stereotyping either.
