I've got 6 cousins from age 6 to 19. I've been around a lot of annoying children shows.I dread when he starts to like them
Capt. Feathersword rocks! Fruit salad- yummy, yummy..... Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, [ock cay]-a-doodle-doo!......
It really isn't that bad, and it is only like 15 minutes long. My kid likes the toys and pays a little attention to the show. He has other staples. No, he doesn't. I'll give my heartfelt endorsement of this position. My son really likes Sid the Science Kid, which I'd put in the same boat. Caillou is not unbearable. Sesame Street is OK most of the time. The shows that really annoy the hell out of me are the ones with no discernible plot, goal, or development. The Wiggles are a random collection of weirdos. Barney is a goofy gummy bear singing songs. I don't know what the hell Yo Gabba Gabba is supposed to be at all. They all seem to be some sort of portrayal of a flaming homosexual's acid trip through Chucky Cheese. I feel lucky that the worst I have to endure is Thomas, Sid, or Elmo.
Tom and Jerry went over pretty well with mine, but I didn't stick with it. I think the PC infiltration of kid's television is way overdone, but I did feel a little odd watching lovable cartoon characters chop each other up with meat cleavers and gouge out each other's eyes. It really isn't that far from Itchy and Scratchy,
Ahoy there, me hearties? Edit: If I am going to use the venerable Feathersword's catch phrases, I should use them correctly. Oohoohoohoooo!
Yeah, the kiddo is obsessed with Cars. My guess is before he turns 8 years old we'll be visiting California to go to Cars Land. I tried to tell all of you............. I like Sesame Street. Elmo gets old, but some of the stuff is hysterical. My little guy is a fan of Super Why. I can't handle Caillou. I just can't. In every episode I hope he tragically dies. Thankfully he doesn't care too much for it either. At some point I'm going to try to reintroduce some stuff like GI Joe, Transformers, etc.
Im actually sitting here debating how many episodes of sesame street i have watched in my life. Got to be close to 2000 episodes.
Yes the result was unexpected but entertaining nonetheless. Threads can be more entertaining when they veer off course.
More on topic, I think we should start every morning on the 8th with a moment of muffled conversation for the treated and released.
I really enjoy the live kids shows, for two reasons: 1. Ratio of women to men: 652 to 1 2. Percentage of those women who are known to put out: 100% There. I said it.
Barney was banned from our house before we even had a kid. My older son (7) likes Bakugan, Phineas, and even some iCarly. Don't judge him. My youngest likes Tennessee football (no, that not just wishful boasting) - he asks to watch a piece of a DVR'd game each night before bed. Guess what he always chooses? [uck fay]ing Kentucky game. Imagine re-living that each night, and not being able to let loose streams of obscenities. And he'll ask, "Are we losing?" and I'll say yes, and through clenched teeth will say something along the lines of that's our team, and we support them, win or lose. True story.
Ive started playing a fun game at such events. For guys it is "was he a pothead in college?" For the ladies it is "is she a reformed slut?" It passes time at boring ones.
