TrueChild, a recent nonprofit group based out of Washington, D.C. is trying to fight stereotypes and bad television programming that they feel harms children, has reviewed and rated many popular children’s TV shows, including our favorite, iCarly.

The shows that were tested and graded are a sample from PBS Kids, Disney, Nickelodeon and the Cartoon Network.  TrueChild evaluated the shows for primarily how they display and demonstrate  gender-based stereotypes when it comes to how they act, appearance, emotion, activities, etc.

iCarly, not surprisingly, received an A!  The Disney show that they are competing against, Jonas, received an F!  Disney, it seems you need to make some changes with your show.
