Comments on: Kids TV Quiz http://www.nobody-knows-anything.com/2004/03/kids_tv_quiz.html and that's the good news Sat, 6 Mar 2010 01:47:26 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: towns http://www.nobody-knows-anything.com/2004/03/kids_tv_quiz.html/comment-page-1#comment-2028 towns Mon, 15 Mar 2004 21:06:43 +0000 http://www.nobody-knows-anything.com/2004/03/kids_tv_quiz.html#comment-2028 Real question: talking Blue or no talking Blue? :-) Personally, I like Joe better than Steve, but the kids don't seem to care. Even Steve recently admitted that Joe does a much better job than he ever did (I don't think its much better, I just prefer Joe to Steve) The Wiggles: come on.. you have to check them out! Our kids love them. They get up and start dancing around the room. Plus.. you haven't seen anything like a Wiggles concert live. Imagine 3 year olds jumping around and dancing everywhere. Its very strange. I like Dora and the boys like Dora.. but I was alittle disappointed when they added the boy cousin and the stars. I guess their demographic wasn't growing fast enough and they had to widen it or something. I thought it was fine the way it was. I do like the new stories though. You should give the Disney channel a chance. There is some good stuff on it early morning. Rolie Polie Olie is a HUGE favorite in our house. Bear in the Big Blue House is a great show as well. Out of the Box is one of the more creative kids shows out there. I will admit that we never watch anything after 9am on any of these channels, so I the later shows might be awful. Funny thing in our house: Some of the kids networks show McDonald's commercials. Zach (our 4 year old) thinks that Ronald McDonald is "Old McDonald", you know.. he has a farm! :-) Real question: talking Blue or no talking Blue? :-)

Caillou - arrrgh. Watched 2 episodes, have never put it back on for Vic. Wiggles - see Caillou. Po or LaaLaa - again, h7ave only seen 2 episodes but I like the purple one, whichever that is, and the littlest one, he's cute. Theme song hummage - "The Big Comfy Couch" Dora - have never seen it Commercials - so far, Vic only watches KQED so there are no "proper" commercials. I think I'd vote for McDonald's pseudo-commercials or the NBC News infomercials that turn up on public TV though. Best activity - I think Vic figured out how to jump from watching Boohbah. Worst activity - Learning to turn the TV back on after I've turned it off. No Nick or Noggin here, only PBS/the KQED Kids cable channel No Disney either.

I knit, because it keeps me from going mad during commercial breaks. I posted my answers over on my blog. :-) I wish we had a TiVo!
