Implicating sesame_street → pbs
Link to implication
(Alternatively, pbs_kids, as while not technically a part of that group, it is a kids show)

Reason:

This quote sums it up quite well:

could we add "pbs" as a copyright tag so that i can blacklist all of this in one fell swoop

There are people who really would rather not have their childhoods destroyed. Contrarily, there are those who may seek to "Enrich" their childhoods.

There are others:

• Barney_and_friends
• Arthur_(series)
• Dragon_tales
• Thomas_and_friends

EDIT: The tag implication sesame_street -> pbs (forum #232688) has been rejected by @NotMeNotYou.

If preserving childhoods is the goal, you're gonna need more tags than this one.

Also, Semame Street is made by Sesame Workshop (formerly Children's Television Workshop), while PBS merely broadcasted it (in America, I presume. In Australia, it was aired on ABC. ). Here's a list of other shows they made.

I can confirm America was PBS.

As a non-american, the pbs tag is completely useless to me. Different channels and networks air different things in different countries. And I don't think it's going to be a good idea to add the literally hundreds of tags that would go into pinpointing the specific channels a show aired on worldwide, only for each one to cater to a small set of people that had a very specific experience.

I'm also against the idea that only American channels should get a tag. Reason one: consistency. Reason two: if you're using this as a way to blacklist or search for stuff that was broadcast by a certain company, you're essentially adding a feature only for part of the userbase. If you can search for pbs, I'm going to feel left out if I can't search for npo_1, zdf, één, etc.

In other words, adding all channels is a bad idea. Adding one channel is an equally bad idea. So I'm in favour of keeping things exactly as they are. No channels or networks. Blacklist either the show's copyright tag, or find someone to create a set that you can search for or add to your blacklist.

In fact, I think using a set for this is a stellar idea and this is the kind of stuff they're most useful for.

-1 for the same reason.

Fair enough. What about children's tv as a neutral term?

How about your_childhood, because of how often it is ruined?

But, seriously: I can give that a +1 but I fear that it may be a bit vague.

I mean, we could go by the decade the show was introduced, and have several tags.
