The last logo was just fine before it was changed!! Sure, the show doesn't use it and it's mainly used for merchandise, but people associate the merchandise logo with the show. JosephMarigold (talk) 05:18, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What age groups(s) is this show targeted at? Our article says (buried way down in there) "has been widely praised particularly for its appeal to different age groups", but doesn't say what they are.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  21:30, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
