Spitzlvr--I cannot stand Caillou. DD watches it on weekends because that's what's on public tv while I'm working out, but I'm constantly having to stop the treadmill and tell her things like "Oh that wasn't very good of Caillou, whining like that." Blecch. He whines and his parents, instead of chastising him for whining, indulge him. YUCK.

For a while I let DD watch Lassie when I was working out, but the commercials were so awful (I hate the way the girls are dressing like streetwalkers in so many of them, that I decided to only allow PBS). Lisa, I'm with you about the sexual images -- they demean women and girls. So far DD would rather hit a ball than be a princess and I sure as heck don't want to change that any time soon.

Oh, and I'm not a prude either, but I do believe that some things aren't appropriate for children to see/hear (which is why I was at a movies about penguins on Sunday!).
