One of the biggest distinctions between shows that are made for adults, and shows that are made for children, is that you rarely hear much about the people who make shows for children. Studios go out of their way to promote the latest “Christopher Nolan film,” or the latest action movie directed by Michael Bay or James Cameron. Adults are expected to buy tickets to see these films primarily on the basis of the famous people who worked on them. But when it comes to productions that are intended for children, you’re left in the dark. You’re really not supposed to know anything about the people producing those shows. Instead those productions are marketed directly towards children, usually with the help of cutting-edge animation and CGI. Parents aren’t told anything about who’s putting this stuff together behind the curtain.
That’s why, the other day, I decided to take a close look at someone named Lindz Amer. Lindz Amer is not a household name. Very few people have ever heard of this person. But recently, Lindz was hired by Nickelodeon to help write for a spin-off of the hugely popular children’s show “Paw Patrol.” If you’re not familiar with “Paw Patrol,” chances are you don’t have kids. Every child under the age of seven has seen this show, sadly, for the most part. That’s not an exaggeration, by the way. According to Paramount, worldwide, more than 350 million households tune into this show.
