I had no idea "ageism" was even a thing.

The only kind of age discrimination protected against by law is usually against older people in the workforce. Often, companies will try to fire their older employees. Often, this isn't motivated by animus, but just by the fact that they're about to collect their pensions, or often have seniority and are entitled to greater pay. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 is one of the most common vehicles for pursuing such claims.
 
@Toy_Bon-Bon: That had a sense of humor about the whole thing that this show doesn't.

It knew how silly the whole idea was, while here, the creator is dead serious.
 
Someone said:
Yes
And weirdly, Enter praised them for that in his Problem solverz review, while bashing the show because a character said he "doesn't like old people"

I guess it's because the kids in KND are technically still under adult control, which isn't always fun, while the dude in Problem Solverz had no reason and was hating just for the sake of hating, as he's already an adult.

Yeah, most of them were under twelve years of age. You can't hold it against them, especially when it's a fantasy world where being forced to eat spinach is the equivalent of the Spanish Inquisition.
 
@Headbanger General: Which is the point. That show, again, had a sense of humor about itself, and this show doesn't.

And why the hell are we arguing about this anyway? Ageism should not be a thing.
 
I know this is kind of old news, but have you read the script where Enter tries to write a musical number?

[We have a musical number now. This is a slow one and the camera focuses on each of Timmy and Sally continuing their actions as their lines are sung]

Sally: Timmy, you are my brother. I got no other
If you can't tell me, then who can you tell?
I know you are short, and you kinda smell
But you've got to tell me what's going on
I can't bear to think that you might be gone

Timmy: Sally, I really wish that I could say,
I just want to stay young forev'r and play
You just wouldn't understand about me,
What's going to happen to me I can't see

Sally: Timmy, just come right out here and tell me
Try and tell me, just try to hear my plea,
Hurry cuz' there are clouds up in the sky,
It's getting darker and I'm gonna cry

[Sally starts crying as thunder claps and rain starts falling down. Steve pulls up with Robert and Linda in his car]

Why do I have the feeling Enter was listening to "Do you wanna build a snowman?" before writting this?

Why does Timmy think that the only way to play is to be a kid? Kids have to do taxes and pay rent in this world.

Also, I can't wait until someone tries to put that mess to music.
