Line 1: {{~~work~~creator}} [[File:bftvid_8451.jpg\|frame\|''[http://www.babyfirsttv.com Watch your baby blossom]'']] {{quote\| ''ding ding ding ding ding ding raspberries''}} [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]], BabyFirstTV is a channel catering to infants and toddlers. Launched in May 2006, the channel is noted for airing shows mostly featuring lovable original characters of their own creation along with a small selection of imports. Originally, it was first criticised as a bad idea by those believing that TV is bad for children of any age. The channel responded by roping in several child development experts. The criticism has since stopped... Until Early 2011, where Dish Network decided to drop the channel in favor of rival channel Baby TV. The resulting tsunami-huge backlash from parents and [[Periphery Demographic]] not only made the provider bring it back, but also offer the channel for free since. The channel is also noted for its [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made Onon Drugs?\|trippy]] imports. Notably, [[Hopla]] and [[Tik Tak]]. It should also be noted that the channel does not list individual programming on it's channel guide, but instead blocks. This can create confusion for those wanting to watch a specific show on the channel. The channel also color codes its logo bug by the block currently airing. {{creatortropes}} ~~----~~ ~~==The channel's programming exhibits the following tropes:==~~ * [[Adaptation Decay]]: The UK release of Safari Scrapbook is dumbed down to the point where you only get the name of the animal repeated at certain intervals. The original US version of the show has a Disney documentary style commentary. * [[Adults Are Useless]]: ''Danny and Daddy'' and ''Danny and Daddy Duet'', period. For a guy that wears glasses, Danny's dad is a complete klutz. Line 16 ⟶ 15: * [[Cheerful Child]]: Harry The Bunny, Peep (''Numbers Farm'') and Tillie. Averted by Fred and Fiona, which has Fiona going sad at least [[Once an Episode]]. * [[Edutainment Show]]: More like Edutainment ''Channel.'' * [[Everything's Better ~~With~~with Rainbows]]/[[Cool Horse]]: Rainbow Horse. * [[Everything's Better ~~With~~with Plushies]]: Harry The Bunny has a gratuitously huge amount of plushes scattered all around his house. Sadly averted for the channel itself- they only make plushies of Harry, Peekaboo and Rainbow Horse. * [[Everythings Nuttier With Squirrels]]: Sammy and Eve from ''Hide and Seek.'' * [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]: Channel name aside, this applies to some of the shows on the channel too: ''Harry The Bunny'' ''Bonnie Bear'' Line 26 ⟶ 25: * [[Edutainment Game]]/[[IOS Games]]: A bunch of them. It's the channel's secondary source of income. * [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]/[[Punny Name]]: ''VocabuLarry''. Which is about a parrot named Larry who's building up his vocabulary. * [[Name's the Same]]: Peep from Numbers Farm? Meet Peep from [[Peep and ~~The Big Wide World (Animation)\|Peep and The~~the Big Wide World]]. * [[No Antagonist]]: There's zero antagonists on all the shows on the channel. * [[No Export for You]]: Much of the merchandise outside of DVDs are this. Also, half of the shows listed on the US' website has never aired on the other region versions of the channel. On the other hand, the other region versions of the channel tend to have shows that have been [[Screwed Byby the Network]] in the US (Color Crew, Tik Tak and Hopla comes to mind, although the reason Hopla was pulled from the US was due to a distributor-network dispute). * [[No Plot, No Problem]]: The target demographic most likely wouldn't care for plots. They're only into it for the moving pictures on screen and sounds playing along to the picture. * [[Screwed Byby the Network]]: Apparently, Color Crew is this in the US. Which is perhaps for the best. * [[The Speechless]]: Lots of shows on the channel play on this trope. ** Little Vinnie (''Little Vinnie's Art''). Ironically, he sings the theme song) Line 42 ⟶ 41: * [[Viewers are Morons]]/[[Viewers Are Goldfish]]: ''Vocabularry'' is noted for this. * [[The Voiceless]]: The titular ''Friendly Jack'' * [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made Onon Drugs?]]: Hopla and Tik-Tak are this. Rainbow Horse also qualifies. {{reflist}} [[Category:Networks]] [[Category:~~Baby First TV~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
