In the vast majority of American households PBS, Nickelodeon, The Disney Channel and Cartoon Network get more than their fair share of our children’s time. Although some of the programming is educational it does not assist us in teaching our children Biblical principles. But, never fear, once again Phil Vischer, creator of VeggieTales, has come to our rescue with something new as well as innovative. He calls it Jelly Telly.
Jelly Telly is an internet based television network. It’s updated everyday with new content and shows. Unlike the computer generated animation that we have become accustomed to seeing with VeggieTales, Jelly Telly offers puppets. It sort of reminds me of the Muppet Show (only better).
Vischer said, “Kids need to see what God’s love looks like in action. If they watch a lot of television, they see pop stars, sports stars and celebrities. They see kids driving around Hollywood in nice cars – recording albums and buying clothes. They don’t see a whole lot of missionaries or Christian relief workers or, even more vital, kids just like them sacrificing their time to show God’s love to others. So this sort of thing will be a major focus of JellyTelly.”
