Harriet the Spy, the novel beloved by generations of young readers, has been adapted into a multi-season animated series on Apple TV+. We discuss whether Harriet\u2019s antics are appealing when spread over twenty episodes, whether today\u2019s parents are comfortable with their kids admiring a character who spies on others, free range parenting, and more. In Screen Time in the News, we confront our fears about AI being used in PBS\u2019s upcoming interactive show Lyla in the Loop.
