The actual show itself — or at least the one we watched — omits some of the more over the top elements you find elsewhere, such as football matches or basketball, and did make an attempt to introduce more pedagogic activities such as a demonstration of old logging techniques. Yes, sure there were still cutesy baby ellies wiggling their ears and curtseying and the obligatory musical interlude, but it was overall in much better taste than some shows we’ve seen over the years.
