superbiscuit 2010-02-23T12:57:52 subject: re: A parenting board, perchance? in reply to kai in message #3721: I'm living in a house with a 3 year old right now and holy shit, kids shows are so horrible now, just totally inane bullshit. What happened to old Sesame Street, 3-2-1 Contact, Square One TV, Mister Rogers, Reading Rainbow? Current Sesame Street isn't nearly as engaging, more singalong and less dialogue, and a lot of the art is hastily drawn cheap cg instead of the stop motion and real animation from when I was a kid. Reading Rainbow was an amazing show that has no current equivalent, same with 321 contact or square one tv. It makes the little nerd in me sad =( Never again is what you swore the time before.

I still tell an occasional rude person, "Captain Kangaroo says, 'The Magic word is Please.'" Followed by, "And thank you(s) are nice too!" I'm often met with blank looks.

That's an awesome response to rudeness, though! *grin* Valkyrie Memento Mori

She wouldn't let me watch TV in the morning because I'd get so sucked into it. I cried when I heard he died. :( ~ IronKit ~ Zeit. Ich brauche mehr Zeit.

what 2010-02-27T20:20:07 subject: re: A parenting board, perchance? in reply to ironkitten82 in message #3729: Yall missed out on Playschool! One presenter was on from 1969-1999. It was supposed to be one of the most difficult jobs in tv, to be able to treat the camera as a child audience in an unpatronising way. I miss the old Sesame St funk themes sung by the Pointer Sisters. More catchy and defined than the onslaught of bland rap memes they tried to peddle later. Lay down in the aisle and flail
