What Parents Need to Know
About Shirt Tales
Parents need to know that this '80s cartoon (which was based on characters originally created for a line of Hallmark cards) is mild enough for the youngest grade schoolers. That said, it's less flashy and slower paced than a lot of today's shows, so some kids may not be interested. And it's worth noting that although the smartest members of the gang are the girls, when non-Shirt Tale girl characters appear, they're strictly stereotypes, fanning the boys and running and fetching.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the stories (like Aladdin and the Magic Lamp) and mild lessons that underlie most of the cartoons. Kids: What did the characters learn in this episode? What did the bad guys do wrong? How did the Shirt Tales stop them? Families can also discuss what makes this show different from more modern cartoons. How do you think it would be different if new episodes were coming out now?
