Trash Truck

58Watch it awake.

A child, a useful machine, and a day that ends. One of the few that respects a small viewer's time.

The review

Trash Truck is built for a small child and then it stops, which is a moral quality. The truck is useful, the boy is not the mayor of the universe, and nobody's father is the punchline. It will not carry an evening. It will carry twenty minutes without teaching contempt. That is a pass.

Journal

Keep Trash Truck in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 58. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety and Courage are the thin ones.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Puffin Rock

64 instead of 58

Puffin Rock is still a children show, and it scores 64 instead of 58. What you gain is truth: The facts of the animals are the story, and they are not bent for a gag.

The eight

Industry
The truck has a route. The work of the town is not a joke.

A boy and the people on his street. Home is where he starts and finishes.
4
Piety
Kindness is the weather. No one is mocked for it.
4
Courage
The brave thing is a new block, and it is enough.
6
Republic
A town small enough to have a route.
8
Temperance
Soft, finished, and not selling the next want.

Truth
A truck does a job. The show does not dress it up as magic.

A child can copy helping with a real chore.

9-1-1

58Watch it awake.

People who answer the call. The disasters are opera. The job is still a real one.

The review

The fantasy disasters are absurd, and the series knows you know. Under them is a truer picture than most shows will sit with: a dispatcher who stays on the line, a firefighter who goes back in, a city that works only because some people answer. The personal plots are soap. The work, when they let it be work, is the reason the show is not empty.

Older teens can watch an episode with you and then you should tell them about a real emergency you know, which was smaller and not choreographed. Admire the answering. Do not admire the tornado.
