1) Oh, Daniel Tiger. Sometimes, I
just want to punch you in the face. I don’t give a shit about your stupid
feelings. Shut the hell up and put on some damn pants! Why does your Mom wear pants but you and your dad don't? Huh? Please someone explain this to me!
2) If I were running Sodor Island
railways, I’d fire Sir Topham Hat and send Thomas and all his annoying friends
to the scrapyard! How hard is to find a train driver who will just do his job
and if his ass-cheeky engine wants to pull some shenanigans, tell him to Fuck
off and just do what you’re told!
3) What the hell is the Man with the
Yellow Hat’s name? I mean really, no one calls me “the Mom with the Black Yoga
Pants.” (Oh, shit, there might be people who actually call me that) But what’s
the deal with him letting his monkey roam the city alone? (that sounds dirty,
heehee) Pretty sure animal control would have picked up his ass a long time
ago.
4) Listen Nick and Sally, your
mothers think you are JOKING when you tell them you’re out gallivanting with a
giant cat! Do me a favor, tell her to get her ass outside and show her that the Cat
in the Hat is real. She doesn’t fucking believe you, okay!
5) Why does Peg wear her swim suit in
the tub? I mean I get that it’s a kids show and all, so no nudity, but who the
hell baths in their swimsuit? Solve that problem, bitch.
6) SuperWhy is basically Wheel of Fortune
for kids. I'm ready to solve, Wyatt!
7) This is what I think happened when the idea for Dinosaur Train was first pitched. Somewhere in some board room, someone was all like, "Kids love dinosaurs. Kids love trains. Everyone knows that. So, imagine a show that combined them! Dinosaurs riding on trains! Dinosaur. Train."
And everyone was like, "Woah! Mind blown!"
In case you couldn't tell, we watch a lot of PBS kids, but there are plenty of other annoying shows that leave us wondering, WTF?
What are some thoughts or questions you have had watching TV with your kids?
Thankfully my toddler isn't in to tv yet (music on the other hand is her life line - not classical or anything, things like whip & nae nae) but when my older kid watched I thought a lot about where the heck their parents were. In almost every show there is no, or limited, parent interaction. Also I was very thankful not to be Caillou's mother on an almost daily basis when they watched it.
ReplyDeletePoor Caillou's mom!
DeleteOMG I cackled at #3! My kids love George. In the movies he does. Thanks have a name beyond that of his wardrobe choices lol. It's Ted ;)
ReplyDeleteTed! I think I remember that, we haven't watched the movies in awhile!
DeleteI want to write one about Nick junior and disney shows now. We never have watched PBS much.
