The children's programming includes Nick Jr. shows for toddlers and preschoolers, as well as many shows for older kids on up to preteens.
Some shows exhibit extreme cartoon violence.
Ren and Stimpy routinely hammer each other in a fashion far beyond slapstick. Little Bill is an African American main character and Dora the Explorer is Hispanic. The Brothers Garcia has an all-Hispanic cast. Several shows have girls as main characters. Nick News with Linda Ellerbee encourages kids to learn about their world, and evaluate the information they encounter.
