Kids tv that won't turn your brain to mush... (1 Viewer)

[MDR]

When we were in France last summer with all the in-laws egg_ jr. (about 18 months old at the time) said "merci" to a waitress a few times and I felt real proud ... then the waitress went away and she said "where's merci gone?"

And then we went into a church and she started shouting at the crucifix "LADY! GET DOWN!"

I think you'll find the story of Fluffykins the Bunny's adventure in Awwwland is cuter.

I got my neice a lazy town set that included a pink wig (something to do with stephanie) for christmas and it was an absolute sensation. She won't leave the house without it. Rock on uncle Ro.

For those of you with "the channels", nick jr. turns into nick classics in the evening time (i think the changeover is about 8pm)

Yeah but, 8 o'clock is bedtime.

When I was last "between jobs", I used to occasionally find myself flicking through the channels in the morning, stopping at The Bear In The Big Blue House and not moving on for 5-10 minutes.

My secret shame.

 

[avernus]

I often wish I could hug Bear in the big blue house.

Me too.

I bought my niece this guy last year, who I think looks a lot like Bear.



She's always carrying him around with her and hugging and kissing him... it's so cute.

I often wish I could hug Bear in the big blue house.

Ha! Me too. I bet he gives deadly hugs. My little girl has a miniature one and she squeezes the life out of him.

I was knocking around Blackrock shopping centre there the other day and they have a boat with Bear In The Blue House in it that kids can sit in and it moves about, my daughter spent about 10mins trying to wrestle with her desire to have a go on the boat and her absolute terror of sitting beside a big fuck off plastic bear... in the end we decided to gave it a miss..

Just saying if you did *really* want to hug Bear, you could head up there

I just feel we should both see other shopping centres

POCO-YO.

I forgot about this one. This one Wins. Great animation, perfectly paced, simply designed. Narrated by Stephen Fry too.

oh and The Backyardigans

it's sort of lame, CGI animals have imaginary adventures, it's big on the imagination thing, but whats cool is every show is a musical and has one musical theme (reggae, mambo, folk) and ties in every song with a strong melodic motif, the music is arranged and performed by this fella Smokey Hormel, who's played with Tom Waits, Cibo Mato, Beck, Johnny Cash.., serious mother fucking guitarist, i think dudes from John Zorns band play on it too. You'd not really notice, it's very sacherinne kids orintated stuff (no howling feeedback or smashed metal) but the ideas going on there are really smart and very well written

Anyhow, I finally got to see the scrolling credits by pausing the DVD and discovered to my surprise that the list of musicians reads like a Tzadik session roster: Evan Lurie, Doug Weiselman, Greg Cohen, Smokey Hormel, Tony Scherr, Ben Perowsky, Steven Bernstein, Kenny Wollesen… Totally cool. (It's practically Sex Mob doing the soundtrack!)

shame the actual program is a bit ho-hum

 

[Wölflinge]

Ha! jesus, i never noticed that... Backyardigans definately beats Underground Ernie at that time of the evening.
