Ah, the traditional "kids' slice of life" back again with new kids.<br /><br />I especially enjoyed "Game for a Mystery" but "Target of the Week" was also good.<br /><br />Just a little note: I wasn't offended as I did not grow up in USA, but I know from interactions with American-born Chinese (ABCs) that they are often very sensitive to stereotypical characterizations of Chinese-Americans.<br /><br />The new coach for the Odyssey Coyotes is played a bit too much inscrutable Charlie Chan and could risk offending some ABCs. My suggestion to the Odyssey team is: Keep the accent, yes, but drop the zen-like stuff is my suggestion. Have milder stuff like what you find with the Hispanic references with Camilla Parker. Make that ABC coach more of a normal human being who just happens to be Chinese and have that accent. You can throw in some cultural references once in a while, but the fact is that no real normal Chinese person speaks in these silly zen-phrases.<br /><br />That said, the moral of this episode was very well done. I always felt the tension with these kids of shows as I was a perennial bully victim in the Malaysian equivalent of grade school.<br /><br />If we didn't have gun control in Malaysia, I would have been the Malaysian Columbine shooter -- I was so pushed to the wall that one day in equivalent of 6th grade I brought a kitchen knife to school and tried to kill my tormentor. Praise God, they managed to stop me and the very next year I got saved and my life took a drastic turn for the better!<br /><br />I'm very glad to see the principal taking proactive action to stop the bullying in this episode -- many Odyssey episodes in the past, the bully got away, which leaves less incentive for children to not take revenge into their own hands.<br /><br />All in all, this was a very good handling of the bullying issue.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15402956098911658295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254662292176173795.post-15121486541766963962010-04-07T12:13:16.513-04:002010-04-07T12:13:16.513-04:00@ Timothy Endersby:
