I Watch TOO Much TV With My Kids

That is a very true observation. We do like to watch many things together.
Because of that, however, I have garnered many observations about children's TV, and I would like to share them, since I haven't posted anything on here in, well, forever.
  • Have you ever watched Baby First TV with a young child? It is extremely addictive. My wife calls it "Baby Crack."
  • Doc McStuffins might be the best show on for kids right now. I said that, and I'm a man.
  • Max & Ruby trouble me. I don't know how many years this show has been on, but I have never seen their parents. Their grandmother checks on them periodically, but where are they? (Thanks to Amber Benge for reminding me of this.)
  • Also, Max typically says one thing throughout the whole episode that is the key to the show. Ruby is oblivious all the time, and doesn't learn her lesson until the end of the episode. You would think that for as long as this show has been on she would get her head out of her rear end and start listening to her little brother.
  • I miss Handy Manny. I liked that show. But I always wondered what was really going on with Manny and Kelly who owned the hardware store.
  • Dora the Explorer helps teach to Spanish as part of the show. But have you ever seen the show on a Spanish network? She's not teaching English to those kids. What's the deal? Why the double standard, Dora? Que Pasa?
  • Speaking of Dora, do her parents know that she is out on all these trips? If so, are they really okay with it? Also, when is she going to get a GPS?
  • I cannot in good conscience allow my children to watch Sesame Street anymore. Thankfully, they have no desire to. And no way will they ever meet Elmo.
  • Why are my children so drawn to Peppa Pig? It is crudely drawn and British. But they think it is hilarious. It could be because they snort so much. 

That's all I have for now, but as I watch more kid's shows with my little ones, I am sure that more will arise.
