Collaborative and individual problem solving are prominent ways people choose to problem solve. Accurate demonstrations of these types of problem solving can be demonstrated within television shows. Children's television in specific has two major genres: live action and cartoon. While focusing directly on children's television shows, this study looks at how problem solving is demonstrated throughout the two genres by choosing the two most popular live action and cartoon shows and eventually comparing them to see which held more collaborative problem solving. In this study, it is hypothesized that cartoon shows will hold more collaborative problem solving while live action shows will consist of more individual problem solving. Even though the most popular of each genre were chosen, the cartoon shows receive significantly more views than the live action shows. Through the research process it was found that cartoon shows held more collaborative problem solving than live action shows, while live action shows contained more individual problem solving. Contributing to the significance of this study, these findings can help future television producers come upon a conclusion on which type of problem solving would be most beneficial to implement amongst the show.
