None of the episodes feature a responsible elder figure, be it a den mother or even a friendly policeman. It's not likely that a child will pick this up and think, "Hey, let me build a Rocket and go on adventures with them!", but the show sends a message that these children can easily take care of themselves without any adult supervision. For example, in this disc's first episode, the kids are nearly eaten by a crocodile, yet they shake it off and keep on moving. Yes, they stress the use of seatbelts in Rocket, but at the same time, these children go off on rather dangerous escapades. But I just can't shake the sheer irresponsibility of the series as well. Indeed, it comes off as a playful half-hour adventure designed to teach children about various historical and cultural aspects of the world. But when I was given the opportunity to review "Little Einsteins", I looked at the show in a different light entirely. It's worked in the past, as I've been able to take jabs at movies like High School Musical and shows like "Higglytown Heroes" without being too vicious. Normally when writing a review, I like to take a humorous look at the program at hand and try to work in little jokes and oddities to make the article less dryly informational and more personal.
