Episode description

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.

Other episodes we mention:
Episode 168 Harriet the Spy
Episode 73 Puffin Rock

Here’s a link to 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.
