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. Misty Skedgell Vice President, Corporate Communications misty.skedgell@turner* Leigh Arwood Manager, Public Relations leigh.arwood@turner* Steve Smith Vice President, Government and Community Relations steve.smith@turner* Lisa Tobias Director, Media Relations lisa.tobias@turner* Thanks for your help! Every time you watch and every comment you post really helps make a difference for the show and helps to secure the future for quality children’s programming. If you want even more information or want games for kids to play, you can check out Ellen’s Acres official website *ellensacres* Any help you can give is much appreciated. Thanks for reading my mission statement.

every girl needs a role model like this protagonist!

I absolutely love this show! I have two children who are 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 and they both enjoy it. Usually they like to watch seperate things but this is one thing they agree upon. I have to say as a parent I love it because I don't have to worry about editing it for them. The content is not too mature and they don't deal with issues that I have to explain or say "now that wasn't nice and we should never do that". I just read on here something that said imagination won't save this Eloise wanna be and personally I don't think Ellen is anything like Eloise. She's much better. I grew up with the Eloise books and my sister gave my children the movie for christmas . . . we are shelfing it. Too many things she does I have to say "don't say that . .That was not a nice thing to do" etc. My husbands comment on Eloise is she's a brat. Nothing like Ellen. Ellen is so cute and fun and what you would want your children to watch. I'm very picky and don't like them to watch T.V. often so when they do, it had better be something worth while. It's great the imagination she has and I can see my 3 1/2 year old using her imagination a lot more since we've been watching it. Ellen's Acres is definately 5 stars and I would recommend it to anyone with children. I usally put it on so I can get the laundry started, dinner, etc. but the funny thing is most the time I end up sitting and watching it with them. It really is a great show. I sure hope it comes back on soon!!!! Amy

Finally, Cartoon Network has an awesome show geared towards young viewers. This imaginative cartoon held my children's interest, they couldn't wait for it to come on the next day. I'd say "Watch out Dora".
