Background
The series was an English-language version of her popular Brazilian show and was an attempt to adapt it for American viewers, featuring games, stories, songs and celebrity guests (like Exposé). However the series attracted complaints from parents due to her outfits and her controversial practice of putting on bright red lipstick and kissing the cheeks of prepubescent males at the end of each show.
In addition to being seen in the US, the show also aired in many countries throughout the world, among them Japan, Israel, Russia and some Arab countries.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
