Ellen's Acres

I think Ellen's Acres is filled with many images and concepts that will fill any child's imagination and help them learn at the same time. Kids will be able to relate to Ellen and the different adventures she encounters. I don't have children, but I babysit alot, and if the show becomes steady on cartoon network, I'll be sure to get them to give it a try. I've been a fan of cartoon network for a long time, and I think it's great they are trying to expand thier audience to children. I think many of their shows are original, and that's what makes them a hit with adults. I think a show like Ellen's Acres will make them a hit with kids as well.

As a family therapist I work with a lot of kids. THis is an excellent preschool program. Preschool children have vivid imiginations and short attention spans. This program will keep them focused,and I believe help them to utilize their imiginations constructively. I don't believe they would have any problem with the transition between imigination and what is real. This is what preschool children do. I see far to many chidren whose imiginations are supressed and force to grow up too quickly. This is one of the better preschool programs I have seen and stongly urge you to continue with it.

Ellen's Acres has sadly been pulled from Cartoon Networks schedule. I’m starting this campaign to save “Ellen’s Acres.” I learned about this fabulous show from a good friend of mine. She kept telling me how her toddlers eyes were glued to the television watching a new program called “Ellen’s Acres.” Unfortunately now, my friend has to explain why it has been taken off the air after two short weeks. “Ellen’s Acres” inspires preschoolers. Fortunately, I’m not alone. Several child advocacy groups are supporting this campaign, one of them is The Miracles of Hope Network *://*miracles-of-hope*. These organizations have agreed to display banners and help spread the word to save this show. There are several ways you can help. 1. The best way is simply to watch the show on Cartoon Network’s website *://*cartoonnetwork*/video/app/index.html. Every week the show will be available for people to watch on their site. The more people watch, the better chance for “Ellen’s Acres” to be put back in the weekday broadcasting lineup. 2. The “Bring back ‘Ellen’s Acres’” petition has been created. You just click the link *://*PetitionOnline*/saveea35/petition.html and sign your name. Post the petition link on messages boards, mailing lists, email the petition link out to your friends, anyone that cares about the quality of children's television programming. 3. I have gathered emails of several Cartoon Network executives where you can express why you love the show and want to see “Ellen’s Acres” back on their network weekday line-up.
