Funny. The Roku MLB.tv app blows every other platform out of the water.
You think the Roku version of MLB is significantly better than, say, the Apple TV version of MLB? Why?
Better features.

#162I still just want one simple place to stream all (most, or half, even, would be great, for that matter) of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood and pre-Elmoization Sesame Street for my kids. Anything else would be a welcome bonus but I mostly just want those.
HBO is your place.

Never used the Apple TV version. But I have used the web and Android versions, and the Roku player blows them out of the water.

It's a reasonable expectation for original content that they produce themselves. The problems start when you enter into byzantine licensing agreements with third party producers that insist on all sorts of complex agreements that are only valid within certain regions. It gets worse when those producers start delegating to even more subcontractors. It's kind of backwards to be doing business this way. There are plenty…

Basically, most Netflix productions launch on the same day in most/all countries they operate in. So it is absolutely their strategy to do this.

> I don’t have kids of my own yet, so I’m out of touch with how the show is being run these days, but if Elmo is the lead now, this definitely sounds like a step back in quality level. My (at the time 2 year old) referred to Seasame Street as "Elmo." The shift in content aligns with the shift that has happened in Early Learning Education in the US--mainly less emphasis in academic subjects, and more emphasis on socia…
That's a strange claim since the primary complaint abut Elmo was the elimination of Big Bird's social-emotional learning. Sesame Street is for pre-schoolers, which was never academic outside of a cadre of upper class dog-eat-dog New Yorkers
I wouldn't immediately dismiss the claim that the Elmo stuff has more explicit social-emotional teaching, as in "here's the thing we're teaching in this skit and exactly what we want you to learn!", while Big Bird's was more implicit and role-model driven (though I don't want to claim it was always subtle and didn't ever just come out and state what it was trying to get across, of course—there was plenty of that). I haven't sampled enough Elmo-street lately to know whether that's true, but it could be.

Agree. Paw Patrol is like crack for kids. It is mostly addictive filler designed to get them to buy a bunch of toys. The difference between Paw Patrol and Daniel Tiger is night and day.
Dunno. Paw Patrol demonstrates a lot of teamwork and proactive attitudes.
Also seems to inspire 3 year olds to save the day

#167I watch PBS NewsHour everyday on YouTube. It's great!
Another news show you may want to check out is Democracy Now. I always watch or listen to the first ~10 minutes, where they do headlines.

I've caught it on occasion through the local PBS affiliate channel and feel its high quality like the News Hour. I just never think to check it. Is that available on YouTube?
