Toddler TV Show Creaters MUST Do Drugs...

I've watched A LOT of kids shows... and I have even caught myself doing so after the kids have gone to bed. Probably because most of them deem themselves "train wreck" worthy. Just can't look away from the horrendous nonsense occurring in front of my eyes.

Seriously, there have been episodes of many different shows, that made me think "What are these guys smoking?", or "Are you kidding me? They can't do that!".

But they do... and I continue to stare, mouth gaping open.

In The Night Garden pretty much freaks me out the most. Made by the creators of Teletubbies, you know it's going to make you raise an eyebrow due to "weird" scenarios, but my kids ADORE the show. I'd rather slit my wrists. The OCD Maka-Paka, The Pinky-Ponk with it's rude sound effects, the Tombly-boo's (please excuse my botched spelling of the characters), which I'm positive they are related, continue to make out, and lose their pants. *sigh* BIZARRE!!! haha

Don't even get me started on Max & Ruby. The over baring, controlling big sister, Ruby, has not yet (nor do I ever think she will) come to realize that Max is pretty much ALWAYS right, and heaps smarter then he leads on to be. Ease up Ruby... Let Max be... AND WHERE ARE THEIR PARENTS?? Have you seen them, or any signs that they've been around? I imagine that they are crack-heads, and that's why Ruby has taken on the role as the mother. Maybe Grandma should hang around the abode a little more :P

I also despise shows that "Dummies Down" to kids. I'd rather they refrain from using the baby-talk, and poor use of grammar. It would be nice to hear more encouragement of vocabulary growth, and speech skills.

My absolute FAVOURITE to watch though, is The Cat In The Hat Knows A Lot About That. It's fantastically educational, fun, and conveniently comes on while I'm preparing dinner... so the spawn become entertained lol. Plus I ADORE anything Seuss related. :)
