We review PBS Kids’ first foray into AI: Lyla in the Loop. Is Lyla’s alien computer friend Stu an adorable way to teach kids about coding languages or a harbinger of the end of all things? At least Katie and Deborah agree that everyone could use an AI sidekick to clean the kitchen.
Other episodes we mention:
Episode 168 Harriet the Spy
Episode 73 Puffin Rock
Here’s a link to Lyla’s “bunny ear” shoe tying technique.
Lyla in the Loop made us think of these shows or movies for grown ups:
- The Bear
- Parenthood
- Brothers and Sisters
- Modern Family
- Mommie Dearest
In our gritty reboot casting, we would like to see:
- Issa Rae as Lyla
- Jeremy Allan White as Mr. Loop
- Ayo Edebiri as Mrs. Loop
We found the old episode of 3-2-1 contact about acid rain that Deborah mentioned.
