Library Fines

I am about to walk into town with the kids to return their library books and DVDs... and pay fines again.

I'm going to stop letting them get DVDs out. If I have to watch (or even listen to) another ten episodes of Strawberry Shortcake, I will set fire to the television. Seriously.

Their young lives are filled with Dora the Exporer, Peppa Pig, Arthur and the Invisibles, Curious George, and all manner of other animated inventions. Whatever happened to real actors?

just wait until they get older and you get to watch "Hannah Montana", "The Suite Life of Zach and Cody", and "Drake and Josh". Along with "Spongebob". I miss Curious George.

i say screw the DVDs and take advantage of your (assuming you have one) DVR.

What?? No Arthur?? (I think this show is actually funny and teaches responsibility and things)

As for shows with real actors...old school Blues Clues was really a gem of a show. At least it got my nephew to understand abstract concepts such as "thinking" and "problem solving." And I LOVED Zaboomafoo with the little lemur and the Katt brothers who talk about animals. Fun to watch and animal-friendly.

My question is, what happened to all the animal shows? When I was younger (or even not so young) I loved watching all the animal shows...like Jack Hanna at Bush Gardens! and things like that.

Children's programming today leaves me feeling so sad for all the things they're missing.

We had a show in the UK called "Animal Magic" - clips of animals with a voiceover by a batty old man called Johnny Morris. My other half met him when she was young, and it turned out he was a nasty piece of work... shattered a few illusions.

I think you should check out Speed Racer!!!!
