'''Fem myror är fler än fyra elefanter''' (English: ''Five ants are more than four elephants''), commonly abbreviated as ''Fem myror'' (''Five ants'') is a Swedish pedagogic Children's series that first aired in 1973. The series does share some similarities with ''Series/SesameStreet'' but uses three human characters (played by Magnus Härenstam, Brasse Brännström and Eva Remaeus) and a few animated sequences instead of a wide cast of humans and puppets. The series has subsequently become a classic in Sweden.

It's our most classic children's show ever, so it's hardly cult.

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Kind of. When the series premiered in 1973, nearly all children's shows produced in Sweden had a highly (nearly always Left-wing) political or social realistic overtone, commonly concerning capitalism and the Vietnam War, with many scenes that would be considered shockingly mature for a program aimed at children today. Then this series dumped down, nearly as an antipole against that kind of shows, with its glamorous furnishings and carefree tone. Therefore, it was at first met with severe criticism, as many denounced the show as over-polished and unnecessary. 40 years later, the series is still watched and beloved by young audiences who's learning to read and count, while its contemporaries with their deeply political and somber tone are largely forgotten.
