Personally, I think that SevenAwesomeKids should have learned it’s lesson from Maddie and the uproar from parents being upset about such an abrupt change with no transition or warning. Some parents hate change and will be upset regardless, however I think there are parents/viewers who would have been more receptive to the changes had Nick been more up front with things going on behind the scenes.
Sprout does a great job of introducing new characters, like one of their Sunny Side Up co-hosts Aline. Weeks before they broadcast Aline they showed her on breaks in-between the show, they also let children know who the host of the next week’s show will be. Disney Junior too is among children’s programming that understands that children transition better when change is slow rather than overnight. Disney Junior has been showing off commercials for one of their upcoming shows, Miles from Tomarrow Land throughout their normal programming and even recently announced that they will be airing programming for the younger crowd all day. {Which I personally am very excited for since we’ll have an alternative to other channels that we watch solely because Disney Junior changes to cater to older kids at a certain time of day.}
So it’s not that SevenAwesomeKids couldn’t transition, however we may never know why they didn’t choose to transition more slowly or keep Tommy and Liberty around. No more Sister Skits
What are your thoughts? Are you bothered like so many other parents, do you want to Boycott SevenAwesomeKids, or could you and your children care less?
