Is there propaganda in children's television?

I was researching about the Wombles a while ago, and it occurred to me that the program is in some ways liberal propaganda. I didn't want to sound paranoid so I didn't give much further thought to it, until it occurred to me that a lot of children's programs seem to be suspicious in that regard. There is the very blatant Captain Planet, for a start. Then while reading the article on starfish, here I noticed some have concerns regarding Spongebob Squarepants - though I cannot verify this myself as I refuse to watch such trash after watching them in my younger days. Even the classic Sesame Street has that couple who appear worryingly like cohabiting homosexuals, and it's famous episode on death had a distinct lack of Christian worldview. Perhaps both Conservapedia and Wikipedia members should investigate for other examples? Parents rarely pay great attention to children's entertainment, so it's quite possible we are missing this hidden way in which values counter to our own culture are being slipped under the radar. I'm not suggesting that there is a great conspiracy here (Maybe a tiny one) - only that program producers tend to include their own values in the programs, and most people working in children's TV production seem to be leftists and lukewarm christians at best.
