| - Die Sendung mit der Maus ("The Programme with the Mouse") is an educational tv-series for children, by the German public broadcasting station ARD. An international version with English dubbing has been created in Australia and airs as Mouse TV. While the German public broadcasters often have to take flak for shallow programming in spite of their "culture and education mandate", this show is often cited as a counter-example. And with reason, for Die Maus is very popular amongst young and old, owning its continuous existence since 1971 to a high quality mix of education and entertainment. The basic concept is relatively simple: For half an hour, cute stories alternate with educational segments, wherein the industrial production of everyday objects (or almost any other topic) is explained in a child-friendly way. Outright iconic is the style of show host Armin Maiwald's voice-over explanations of what is going on on screen. Hence you can see hear it often being parodied in German Media, complete with a Suspiciously Similar Song version of the title theme. In the late 1980s or early 1990s a selection of episodes aired on Australian television, as Mouse TV or The Show with the Mouse. The voice-over explanations were dubbed into English; the story segments were selected from those, such as the Little Mole stories, that were not primarily verbal. The Australian dub has since been exported worldwide.
