Comment on Is there any such thing as "edutainment" shows for adults?
Solumbran@lemmy.world 1 day agoBut then the show is not educational? I am confused by how you can ask for an educational show, mention HIMYM about its morals as an example, and then say that it might be a parody.
So you want an educational show, or a show that pictures characters trying to be educational within the show, to other characters?

I’m sorry if my mention of it was confusing, it was mean as kind of an aside. I wasn’t comparing it to edutainment, I was comparing it to kids shows that try to teach morals, which I guess is sort of a subcategory of edutainment. I was saying it can be seen as an adult version of a moral of the week type show, albeit a poor one. It was meant as kind of an aside because I don’t consider a moral of the week show as quite the same as edutainment but related to it

Ah, okay. My bad then, I misunderstood the point.
