Betelnut, I do love the song, "Let's get the sillies out!"

Had to share this on a thread that would appreciate it--since we're home now during the day, MAM's been watching more PBS. Usually, we're a DVD sort of family (no cable here). Anyway, those blurbs they have between shows (their form of a commercial) have come to her attention.

"What's this preview, Mama?"
"Honey, those aren't previews, they are commercials"
"Well, they're like a preview."

Anyway, yesterday afternoon we caught the PBS show with the farm animals--the daddy pig is definitely from Ireland and had a flashback to a childhood memory in the old country. CRACKED me up! Does anyone know the name of it?

That would be "Jakers"

Mel Brooks actually voices one of the sheep! Which cracks me up!

I love it just for the accents but DS doesn't watch it.

Is that the Wiggles? (Frankly, I'm usually in the other room when it's on since it grates on me so bad!)

I'm sure there are some good things about them but I just can't stand the low production values and poor writing. Oh! I just remembered! I do like the name "Captain Feathersword." That's clever.

I love Sprout. TJ is mesmorized by it, so we have to limit it. I too can not stand Calliou. Angelina Ballerina is a very nasty little girl and I wish one of those mice would put her in her place. I also hate Noddy. Not the show, but at times, I have to tell TJ something is "naughty" and he looks at me like I'm a fool. Noddy drives a groovy red car!!!!!
Okay, I'm plugging the Leap Frog Letter Factory. We have a 3 hour drive to our lake house so I bought that one for TJ and that is about all he wants to watch. He is almost 23 months, but about 2 months ago, I was singing the "Every letter makes a sound, the A says..." and my son said the sound. So, I tried b and c and d and he knew every one of them!!!!! It really is good. I gave a copy to the lady who watches him a few hours a week for me and ALL of the kids she keeps are learning their letter.

2 things:
it seems that Nick bought Noggin. GROAN...they already are doing commericals for nick shows on Noggin...UGH. Just what I need...my kid exposed to shows I don't want him watching yet...but I know that's Nick's point.

I think it's just a matter of time before Noggin starts having "real" commercials like Nick does. BOO.

2-Does anyone watch Sprout mid to late a.m.? Doesn't the host kinda look and act JUST like Will Ferrell? He even sounds like him. Cracks me up.
