The cutest show on TV.

Netflix has a Japanese TV show on called "Old Enough". It's the cutest, most charming TV show I have ever seen. They take 2 year old to 4 year old Japanese children, have their parents tell them they need their help and send them on multiple linked errands in public. The children wear microphones, in an amulet bag, so you can hear them. They have large numbers of camera men that film the children as they go on their errands, who also unobtrusively safeguard them. The children are amazing and adorable. It's great to see just a happy little show.

So 2 year old children walking around town alone?

I did. Do you think these 2 year olds understand they are being “watched” by camera men? Sounds like abuse to me. All for some sicko to watch.

Sounds like a fun show, Keith.

Probably filled with them thinking out loud as they search for the items , knowing their parents will be proud of them.

WOW, I never saw the show, but the description certainly didn't bring me to where you are.
I ain't a city boy, but can envisage that scenario out here .... and got a smile out of it.

Do you think ANY 2 year old understands they are being “watched” by ANYBODY ? ? ? ?
Don't you think their parent(s) are in on it ?
Jeeeesh

No biden lives over here

What a bizarre response. The show is incredibly positive. There's absolutely nothing sick about it. It shows very loving parents and children, where the children have been brought up the right way, wanting to help their families. The children are incredibly happy to help and to be recognized for helping. The children appear to be well on their way to being very decent human beings.

It is a fun and beautiful show. It's possibly the most positive, upbeat show I've ever seen. It gives great hope for the future of the people of Japan.

I'll have to look for that sometime. Everyone could use some happy fun things to enjoy.

Maybe he's confusing it with the MB, LA, SF, NYC and DC versions where they send their young ones out to get mommy some krak, jack daddy a new car and pop a cop or 2 ....

WOW,,someone is having selfie withdrawls or sumthin.

He just needs some alone time with Boco.

I see his point. It is fine and cute when they are being watched. I think the issue come in where the kids are no longer being watched by a crew of adults and now the kid thinks he/she is going to help again, but now there is no one to watch them and they don't know any different in their innocence.

I can see both sides of the coin.

No, I just don’t think it’s right to put a 2 year old in that kind of situation.

Edit: this response is to the ones that posted before Mark K.

No one remembers the Art Linkletter show " Kids Say The Darndest Things",,,or am I the only old fart here?

Yep, I reckon those children should be removed from their home and placed in child protective custody.

Yep.

Like the old show Candid Camera, shows kid logic and the silly crap kids do all the time. Wish I could get it!

Sounds good Keith. Some people just like playing "devils' advocate", I think.

Chill out JP,send your kid down to the beer store to pick up a case and have a few with the kid and kick back.

Christ I think some of y'all are bent on being negative about everything....
