Okay, I get that this is a watered down kid's show, but every character, especially the one adult and so-called pilot, is an idiot. That's no fun to watch, right off the bat. Don't tell me this guy was the only chaperone for a school trip PLUS having his hands full flying the plane. Maybe if they'd had a few more adult chaperones who happened to get killed in the crash, that would make it more realistic and believable, but I guess that would be reason to lose a G-rating for NBC's Discovery Kids lineup.
I'm watching a rerun of the pilot episode as I write this, and AIRLINERS DON'T FLOAT! That's why they're required to have flotation devices for all passengers, so WHERE ARE THEY? Oh, and the word for the letter W in the international phonetic alphabet is WHISKEY, not "William". Isn't that taking watering things down for the G-rating a little too far?
I thought that the purpose of the Discovery Kids lineup was to inform and educate by entertaining. The only way for this to have any educational value would be for all the characters to die off, the way they would if it would be a real-life situation, to show the audience how NOT to survive.
Like I said, every character in this show is an idiot. Maybe it's autobiographical for the writers!
