We review PBS Kids’ first foray into AI: Lyla in the Loop. Is Lyla’s alien computer friend Stu an adorable way to teach kids about coding languages or a harbinger of the end of all things? At least Katie and Deborah agree that everyone could use an AI sidekick to clean the kitchen.
In this episode we mention Episode 168 Harriet the Spy, Episode 73 Puffin Rock, and Lyla’s “bunny ear” shoe tying technique.
Lyla in the Loop made us think of these shows or movies for grown ups:
The Bear
Parenthood
Brothers and Sisters
Modern Family
Mommie Dearest
In our gritty reboot casting, we would like to see:
Issa Rae as Lyla
Jeremy Allan White as Mr. Loop
Ayo Edebiri as Mrs. Loop
We found the old episode of 3-2-1 Contact about acid rain that Deborah mentioned.
