Yep. I used to babysit some neighbor kids. A little boy(3yrs old) and girl(4 yrs). ALL they wanted to do was watch tv. (I wanted to watch tv, too...but we kind-of had different ideas about what shows were watchable ) Argh! The worst one is Oswald. Maybe, just MAYBE that one is educational....but..oh no! I forgot barney! *shudders* That one so bad! Barney was NEVER educational. It only taught parents how to plop their kids in front of the Tube Almighty instead of taking them hiking or to museums or...well, you get my point. what is this world coming to. *sigh*

Those shows didn't seem so annoying (to me), once I had a baby. You start out with this totally helpless, tiny creature that does not even know how to focus it's eyes, or lift its arms! It is such basic, slow going for those first few years! The "annoying" repetition (to us), is actually about the only way more complex, abstract, representational thought can sink into the simple minds of toddlers.
I don't know.....Dora, Teletubbies, Blues Clues, those shows don't bother me too much. The most annoying, for me, are the smarmy, "older kids" shows like..."The Fairly Odd Parents"! EWWWW! That show is banned here! Talk about screeching , purposefully annoying voices! And the content! "Look Timmy....my butt's in the air, heeheeheehee, I'm stupid...wheeeee!" Barney does bug me, cause they sing so much cheesey, fakey songs, and the kids are so "staged". The voices thing does get to you though! Yes, Dragon tales, and Rugrats. Turning the volumn down works well! Still, several hours of Angelica's voice as background noise makes me evil! Fairly Oddparents....BANNED! Actually, I hate Nickolodeon, and MTV...if it was just me (no hubby or older sister) I would eliminate those channels, oh yeah, Cartoon Network too!.

Hehe...me and my other friends who can't get a boyfriend are "going out" with characters from Dora...I got the map. Lol, we were really hyper at teh time when it happened...
A lot of my friends are obsessed with SPONGEBOB. It's ok, and I like it (to a certain degree...), but they never miss it, and I think that's jsut kinda immature and stupid... but whatever, they can do what they want. The Wiggle's seriously scare me. I watched their Christmas special last year, and they had some dancers in these hot pants type shorts. Well, one of the dancers was A GUY. Now that jsut freaked me out, and it's jsut plain nasty! But my younger cousin loves all those kid shows, and when I'm baby-sitting her or something, and she watches them, I can see that she really does learn a lot from them. It's kinda funny. She jsut talks back to the TV like they can hear her...it's so cute! Oh, and this thread inspired me to take acton and confront Barney. I e-mailed Barney, and asked for an apology for him pushing me off the swing... I still ahvn't gotten one, but if I don't get one in the next month, I'm sending a letter. |

Yep, at my birthday party (when I turned 3)...I was just on my swing set I had gotten for a present from my parents, and he just came up behind me and pushed me off!

Hey, Barney! He hit me as a kid too!
I actually remember this birthday party in pre-school. He showed up in the classroom, and we played games and did a bunch of kiddy dances. We'd hop around for a while and then spin and probably jump up or somethings. Anyway he spun around one time and sent me straight to the floor with his stupid tail. Has anyone ever heard of Sesame Place?

I always knew people dressed up as purple dinosaurs would be trouble.

I used to watch that. hehe I liked Bert and Ernie. Never cared for Big Bird though. He annoyed me. I used to read books about them. I remember one book, it was about a missing rubber duckie or something. It was one of my favorites as a little kid.

God bless the Teletubbies. Amy will sit transfixed in frount of that for hours if i let her! I dunno what it is she likes so much could be the colours or it could be the inane talk but *** damn it helps me get some rest (Makes up for any potential warping of her mind ill deal with that later i need sleep)!
Shes a little youung yet to really follow any form of plot so really its brightly coloured and nicely designed she seems intrested but i find a lot of music videos are just as intresting for her to watch! I quite like watching X-Men Evolution (yes im 20 years old) and she sits quite happily infrount of that (result )! I dont let her watch barney its just too *** for my likeing! She does like a bit of Bob the builder again a very nicely designed program which i think at her age is probably more important to them than acctual content! As for myself i never was a big fan of educational programs found them boring and predictiable infact from a young age i would allways be much happier infrount of a documenty than an episode of playbus any day (could of murdered that f-ing bird) I allways thought Seseme street was a bit *** and crap as well! it was just tacky and a bit weird even when i was young i never apreciated old people hanging round with kids that were never theres with some stupid yellow bird! edited by azalea -- please be careful about the language -- thank you
