First-Grader's Plot

''What is this nonsense? It's like a child wrote it!''

It's not anyone's fault that the plot is stupid other than the plot's writer. It could be that the plot is really overdone, really basic, or that is actually was written by a first-grader for something like a school project.

This comes about especially when you would have expected more from the plot's writer. But you can't blame them if they're writing for children's television or educational programming because it's not made to be fun or original.
