Young TV viewers may be getting the message that fame is less important than values like achievement and a sense of community. In examining the TV shows most popular with children ages 8 to 12, knowns as tweens, researchers found that the emphasis on fame diminished in 2017. 1 on a list of 16 values measured in the top-rated tween shows in 2007, fell to sixth in 2017, with achievement and self-acceptance in the No. Researchers used Nielsen ratings to determine the leading tween shows, then surveyed study participants on TV characters' values. The previous study, released in 2011, was done on the brink of the reality TV boom and covered only scripted.

An aspiring American Ninja Warrior from Houston, Texas, who won night four of mutton bustin’ at the 2020 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo said she’s “kind of a professional" already. Mutton bustin’ is a nightly Rodeo event that requires the children competing to ride across a pen on the back of sheep. Wiener credits her win to her breadth of experience mutton bustin’ in the past. “I’ve done it like three times now,” Wiener told the announcer. “One time, I did it when I was five and I did it yesterday for practice,” Winer said.
