On our satelite we get BabyFirst tv, a channel that plays short little sketches 24 hours a day, the core of which are the BabySmart videos that are a lot like the Baby Einstien videos. Now, I don’t really mind the videos segments, but all the other stuff pretty much makes me crazy. A number of the other shows are voiced by the same people and one of the voices just makes me want to run screaming from the room. One of the voices is part of this recurring sketch where two squirels hide an acorn and then do the cold-hot game to find it. It has the single most annoying set of songs in it, followed closely by Fred & Fiona and their magical boardy board. This is insanely bad animation…I swear they have almost the same show, just voiced with different words. It makes me look forward to “Wonder Pets”.
I am looking forward to the kids getting old enough to watch regular tv shows.
What’s gonna work? Teeeeeeeeeeamwork!!!!!
For me it was the Tele-Tubbies–something about that way they communicated just totally set my teeth on edge and made me want to run out of the room. Now my kids are six and four, and I rarely let them watch regular TV shows–not necessarily because of the content, which is usually harmless, but because of the commercials. It is basically videos or PBS (which, I know, I know, has it’s own form of “non-advertising advertising…”) for us.
I am holding your grandmother and your whole family in the Light for a positive outcome.
