Kid's TV, Part I

Annelise and Carrie are off at Nana'a today, so with nothing cute, evil or indifferent to say about my girl, I will use this post to review a couple of her favorite TV shows:

Sponge Bob Square Pants - Hey. It's not that bad. I thought it was going to be one of the deeper levels of Hell. And while it turned out to be not be Heaven, it is at least a comfortable 30 minutes in Purgatory.

Sponge Bob is annoying; Patrick is an idiot; Mr. Krabs is a cheap, money grubbing bastard; and Squidward is a tight-ass tool. Children will need to know how to deal with all of these types of people, so it's good to have them meet the models early. And it is just lighthearted fun for children of all ages.

Please sit on my lap Sponge Bob.

Thomas and Friends - Again, not too bad. Very mellow. Very English. Kind of screwed up when Mr. Topham Tatt (I do not recognize royal titles) says, "usefulness before cleanliness". What the? No wonder the Brits stink. Take a bath and be useful! They are not exclusive.

All in all just trains doing stuff and solving problems. Good for kids.

Caillou - I really thought he was retarded, or at least dying or something, and this was an effort to teach kids to be understanding with retarded or dying children. Nope. He is French-Canadian. DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS WATCH CAILLOU!!! Enough said.

Just like Caillou only less special.

The Wonder Pets - Uuuuggh! DIE!! DIE a thousand deaths!!! Oh God how I hate the Wonder Pets! ARRRRRRGGGHHHH!!! Give me some bleach for my eyes and a sharp needle to shove into my ear canals! NO WONDER PETS EVER!

OK. Nothing to see here. As you were.
