>PBS KIDS will premiere a brand-new animated series on Labor Day 2020. Elinor Wonders Why centers on Elinor and her friends Ari, a funny and imaginative bat, and Olive, a perceptive and warm elephant. As the kids explore Animal Town, they will meet all kinds of interesting, funny, and quirky characters, each with something to teach us about respecting others, the importance of diversity, caring for the environment, and working together to solve problems.
>The show comes from o-creators Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson. Cham is the cartoonist behind the popular online comic Piled Higher and Deeper (a.k.a. PHD Comics). He holds a PhD in Robotics from Stanford University and is a former Instructor and Research Associate at Caltech. Whiteson is a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of California, Irvine, and a fellow of the American Physical Society. He earned his PhD in Physics from the University of California at Berkeley and is an active researcher, using the Large Hadron Collider at CERN to search for exotic new particles. The two have collaborated on several projects aimed at exploring science-related questions with humor, including a book (We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe) and a podcast (Daniel & Jorge Explain the Universe).

PhDs in Robotics and Physics, yet the best they can do is the same tired lessons about respecting others and the environment? Lame.
Hopefully this was an idea for the pitch and they'll got for more interesting topics later. Keep in mind this shows tend to be highly controlled by the network, they could have lied for the pitch like ATHF did, altho they may have a chain around the neck with the whole thing.

We are now in the era where /pol/ gets offended at little kids being taught environmentalism.
/pol/ wants the human race to go down in flames because it's easier than admitting that black people and white people can get along, or that there might be more than two genders.
Henry Williams
>you’re mad at people who get mad at X? Well YOU get mad at Y so you’re the same as them!
Jeremiah Rogers
>might be more than two genders. Great, now you lost me. And you had me there up until that point, too.
Aiden Gomez
You know how the first episodes of ATHF are about them being some sort of indie detectives? That was just a trick so that Adult Swim would green-light the show, hence why it got dropped so easily, they knew it was easier to pitch the show with a basic plot and not with "3 dudes and stuff happen"
/pol/ acting like everyone else gets offended at them for being EDGY yet they screech at everything that could be interpreted at slightly political.

Really? Why?
So you disagree, you think that there are only two genders. So then you vote politicians into power who promise to legislate that there are only two genders. And then you turn your head and look away as those same politicians now tear down legislation preventing pollution in your water, your air and your earth. You voted for them, you gave them this power to hurt others, and they ended up hurting you too. They really like hurting people, as it turns out. You and your loved ones suffer for your bigotry. Was it worth it?
Don't stop being an environmentalist just because environmentalists happen to also be open to diversity.
Luke Bell
>/pol/ wants the human race to go down in flames
That ain't it b.
Parker Wilson
>Was it worth it?
Yes. I do not suffer at all, get you retarded sociological bullshit out my society and go ruin some other planet you c u c k s
>black people and white people can get along This would be true if it weren't for SJWs and their puppeteers in the Democratic Party constantly fanning the flames of racial tension. >there might be more than two genders This literally isn't true any way you slice it; if you think gender is biological then there's objectively only two, and if you think gender is a social construct then it's all arbitrary and meaningless anyway so the number doesn't matter and every single person might as well be their own unique gender.
Says the guy who posted a screencap from one of the most medicore cartoons of the last 5 years :^)
Chase Young
Yes, that's Yea Forums nowadays. What happened to this place, it was always awful but now you all are a bunch of whiny pussies that get offended by everything.
Jace Cox
Hey Lon if you’re here could you draw lewds of the bat? Thanks.

Liberal politicians like diversity. Liberal politicians like environmentalism. Conservative politicians dislike diversity. Conservative politicians dislike environmentalism
Because /pol/ dislikes diversity, /pol/ chooses to vote against the environment. Goodbye, environment! Goodbye, human race!
Michael Rodriguez
Both sides are incredibly stupid, one thinks constantly calling them slaves and slurs would unify them, the other think spreading a victim complex instead of educating would unify them.
Point is both extremes are bad and people in here have turned into the biggest bunch of pussies, I'm not a fan of the horseshoe theory but in this example it fits like a glove.
Leo Jenkins
>/pol/ wants the human race to go down in flames because it's easier than admitting that black people and white people can get along agreed! >or that there might be more than two genders unless "mental illness" counts as a third gender, no.
You don't suffer from plastic in your food, air so smoggy you can't see through it, and rivers catching on fire?
Anthony Reyes
damn, that's actually really clever
Austin Miller
no
Austin Ward
man if you would have told me that there's people this autistic about shit like steve irwin and the kratt brothers tier messages back when i was a kid watching the Crocodile hunter and Zoboomafoo, i'd think your fucking insane. now that i'm an adult it's still fucking insane, but also sadly expected
They're STEM professionals. Don't tell me you were expecting them to have any creativity.
Andrew Sullivan
Why do i feel like ive seen something like this on pbs back in 2010
Easton Carter
With the way you guys sperg like the mentally retarded, you could've fooled me.
Dylan Miller
Putting aside environmental issues, the left is certainly dooming us with disastrous ideologies like "diversity" and the whole trans disaster. It's all on purpose, of course.
Cameron Baker
looks cute is there porn?
Ryan Kelly
>popular online comic Piled Higher and Deeper (a.k.a. PHD Comics)
TIL PHD Comics is actually called "Piled Higher and Deeper". What the actual fuck?
John Rivera
Reading those qualifications, it sounds like two individuals who have spent the majority of their lives in the bubble of STEM academia trying to opine on what the "real" world is like while having virtually no real-world experience.
Those two guys obviously aren't stupid, but I doubt they have ever had to put up with diversity fucking up their neighborhoods or those huge eco-shilling companies they patronize moving jobs out of the country so they can skirt environmental regulations.
Ian Rodriguez
I’m pretty sure those are leggings
Jeremiah Edwards
maybe they're spats? god i love spats
Charles Fisher
Nooooooo not caring for the one planet we have!!!!
Jackson Martinez
>PBS animated show Shit looks good.
Gabriel Morales
>WTF, they make cartoons for little kids so they would learn life lessons and be better persons? When are they going to make cartoons for a 25+ waifufags such as myself?
Aiden Wilson
why do you care about a cartoon for actual pre-schoolers?
Jacob Thomas
This is Yea Forums, you actually expect America to do animation for adults that isn’t raunchy comedies?
