Some kids (like 9 and younger.) might be A LITTLE scared cause some images are A LITTLE intense for them. (For example, 9/11)
But I guess this show would cover up the whole zex talk thing. *cough*
Anyway, its a cool and interesting show.
I am offended by this show, as I am offended by Science. This show is clearly promoting things like Evolution(I'm a Cristian), and to me, that is total crap. What has Science come to? Heck, what has the school system come to? On every Animal Planet show, with some exceptions like Meerkat Manor and Lemur Kingdom, I hear "this animal evolved this and that" and on Dinosaur shows they always say stuff about evolution, too! Where's God in our culture now? What has happened to Him? :-(
Educatonal and Scientific show more better with older kids.
NOVA explains the generations of science such as the human brain, wars, and others.Since it's educational, it would be good for young kids but it's rated TV-PG.There are discussions about wars, weapons, crimes, tornados, etc.Some images might be violent or scary to young kids.The rest of the episodes explain science and are very educational.Some episodes might be creepy to young people so it's that scary.There are topics about smoking, but it's for a SAFE cigarette so it's mild.Very mild sex, gender, AIDS, population control, etc.More for older kids, pretty good show, not much of your image for a science show.
I only watched one episode, about the human brain, and it covered a really interesting topic, which I'm not exactly sure how to spell, but it's basically when certain senses are kind of.. linked for a person, like if they were to see a black and white picture of the letter A, they might see it in red. Or if they hear a plane they see red lines in the air. But some of the other things were somewhat creepy. If you're like me and can not handle the mind blowing-ness of science, this show is not for you.
This TV show is informative, educational, and above all, fun! My favorite is Nova Science Now, that shows short clips of things interesting in the science world. However, there are some mature topics covered, and evolution is referred to A TON!! Since we're christians and don't believe in evolution, there have been a couple shows that our parents have said no to. But bottom line, a good show!
