Starveillance is a great (adult) cartoon, not for preschoolers (I preferred Ellen's Acres and Homestar Runner for them) and 6-11 year old kids (there are a lot more programs (like Homestar Runner, Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, Catscratch, Ellen's Acres, etc.) that they can be watching), but it's worth it. Some mild content in there, it's worth a go for teens and up by the way.

What Parents Need to Know
About Starveillance
Parents need to know that this celebrity satire may look like it's for children since its characters are animated clay figures, but it's definitely not kid material. Skits make merciless fun of celebrities' foibles, mishaps, and personalities (as projected and reported on by the media). Jokes about race, eating disorders, religion, mental illness, and more are at the heart of the show's biting humor. Sexual innuendo/situations, silly violence, and drug and alcohol use are no strangers to the show, either.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about celebrity culture. What's so fascinating about celebs and their lives? How do you think celebrities influence our own lives and decisions? Do you think you're immune to their influence? How do you see others being influenced by our culture's fascination with the rich and famous? Do you think this is an American phenomenon, or do other cultures engage in celebrity worship as well? How do the media contribute to and shape our obsession with stars? Does this show reinforce that obsession or undermine it?
