After a morning of Pocoyo and Creative Galaxy, my brain has melted just enough to continue the bitching discussion of the shows that our chickens watch that we love or we despise.
HeatherO'G: Ok. I don't hate max and ruby... But where the heck are their parents? I love how they can just come and go and not tell anyone. And ruby's whiney voice? Maybe I do hate it just a little...
(LJ says: Max and Ruby are spawns of satan. I never even knew Max could talk. Evil. Pure evil.)

JillyV: Nothing makes me crazy but have any of your kids gotten into Miyazaki movies like My Neighbor Totoro or Spirited away? Kiki's Delivery Service is prob my fav.
(LJ says: As JillyV is an aunt, perhaps we should look into these movies. We just may like what we see. I'm not personally into the Anime thing, which is what this looks like, but my older girl might be into it)
EricaA: My 3 yr old loves pepa pig.. I hate it.. Because I want to tweeze daddy pigs chin hairs!
(LMAO)(never really watched peppa pig, but I've heard my nephew sing the song)

| I see your point... |
TrishaDisha: My almost 3 yr old is into pixar movies, peppa pig, Mickey, octonauts, and superwhy. The commercials on Nick Jr bug me, as does most of their shows.
(LJ says: Mickey, Octonauts and Superwhy are great to me because there is always a lesson. My favorite part of Octonauts is when they show the actual footage of whatever creature they were learning about. I've had my say about the flaws of Mickey, and while I do love Superwhy for promoting early reading skills, it really bothers me (and Juliet) that they CHANGE THE END OF CLASSIC STORIES TO FIT WITH THEIR MORAL OF THE STORY. It doesn't work that way!)
JessLB: This Pocoyo shit has got to go. It stars a little stupid boy who moves oddly and jerkily and talks like a baby. I don't like shows geared for preschoolers where they aren't modeling the correct way of speaking. He is friends with a duck, and elephant, a dog, and a sleepy bird. There is no setting. Just a big, white empty space, and a nosy narrator who talks to the characters. I got really dumb today while watching it, and I kept saying "Scarlet, why do you like this?" She replied "I'm a good girl." So no answer there.
Creative Galaxy is okay; Scarlet has actually become a more focused artist since watching the 6 episodes each and every day. Why they are in space just doesn't make sense, but we need more art in this world so I say yay!
And finally, thanks to the streaming of Amazon Prime, we've been introduced to Umi Zoomy. Which is a total math show. It's annoying as hell (that robot with the belly sucks), but the actual content of the show is great!
