I don’t know about that Higgly Town Heroes show. Each episode, the kids call on an everyday hero to help them with a problem — the mail carrier, the towtruck driver, the crossing guard. So far so good, but they’ve also got a pizza delivery guy in the show. They haven’t made him the featured hero yet. But I’m always ready to pull the plug in case they do. All I need is for the boy to aspire to be a pizza delivery guy. No offense to pizza delivery personnel, but, honestly, would you want your kid to deliver pizza for a living?

While I’m at it, I’m not sure about that Jo Jo’s Circus either. She’s a clown. She goes to clown school every day. She lives at the circus. Yes, she imparts nuggets of moral and practical wisdom each show. Yes, it is good fun. Still. Clown.
