He does not deserve to bear the brunt of my displeasure with the ills of society he is too young (and too fictional) to be at fault. He’s a cute kid, easily startled, slow to learn and quick to laugh at himself. Still, the character design sets him a bit apart, leaving only one character, Gil, as the true Default White Male. In the shows I’ve seen, ‡ Nonny’s glasses are about the closest nod to a physically disabled character § but they’re not remotely sufficient to count toward diversity cookies: first, because wearing glasses is ridiculously common and generally does not rise to the level of a disability, and second because Nonny is very much the stereotypical kid with glasses: smart, quiet, non-athletic, etc. Thus the bikinis, while in and of themselves unobjectionable in context, serve to harsh my buzz, and I wish the issue had been sidestepped altogether by having all six Guppies wear shirts. But the necessity of bikini tops on preschoolers, who possess no secondary sexual characteristics, brings to mind the sexualization of girls, the double standards to which they are subjected, and a host of other societal critiques that bother me in general, as a woman, and as the mother of a girl. I don’t have anything against bikinis, and the boy Guppies are habitually shirtless beachwear is de rigueur in the classroom. I’m less than thrilled by the bikini tops Molly and Deema habitually wear. I watch enough anime to take the hair color scheme in stride, but given the range of possible interpretations I don’t read too much into it. Three are racial tokens (one each with apparent Asian and African ancestry, plus the “ethnically ambiguous” Molly, definitely brown † but not as dark as Goby), making half the classroom non-white, which is not bad for TV. There are three boy Guppies and three girls, with distinctive characterization (“the natural leader,” “the sweetie pie,””the make-believer,” etc., in Nick Jr.‘s capsule descriptions). There are a couple musical numbers in the course of the show, classroom time (often satisfyingly realistic: pretending to roast block marshmallows over a campfire made of blocks, making pizza out of clay, etc.), and the culmination of the show’s main theme (building a dog house for Bubble Puppy, visiting a planetarium, going on a camping trip or a plane ride-their preschool has extraordinarily good field trips). Everyone goes outside to play and two, sometimes three, will be involved in an imaginative skit, while another Guppy narrates. * Three will be shown opening their lunch boxes. Two, sometimes three, will be involved in a skit that features a customer/retailer interaction. One or two will see something interesting on the way to school (race cars, a house being built, scouts camping out, etc.) which will kick off the show’s main theme. The rest of the screen time seems to be pretty well balanced between all the Guppies. As co-hosts, Molly and Gil get a bit more screen time than the other Guppies by virtue of the introduction and transitional scenes Molly gets a lot of solo numbers, so she edges out Gil. The Bubble Guppies are a sextet of merfolk preschoolers. As a result, I’ve watched a lot of Bubble Guppies, spent a lot of time with the theme song or other musical numbers stuck in my head, and had the opportunity to reflect upon the social and educational value of the show. Bubble Guppies is her current favorite show (possibly her favorite thing in the whole entire world, right up there with Monkey and chocolate and apple juice).
