Also Jack's Big Music Show. It's great when kids are encouraged to be clever and creative!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19190622.post-37617996248815726462009-02-01T14:23:00.000-06:002009-02-01T14:23:00.000-06:00We have ET in ours. Well, actually, in our VCR! Ho...We have ET in ours. Well, actually, in our VCR! How's THAT for oldskool! :) Our dvd player is broken so I pulled out our old VCR and hooked it up. And that is the film of choice of Blair (even over Disney princess options). I'm surprised at the cursing in it, though. It's fairly limited, but it's just enough for a keen 3 year old to pick up on one of these days. I keep waiting for it. <BR/><BR/>Reid is in my room watching Land Before Time as we speak. I've never actually watched it...I'm thinking I shouldn't offer that choice anymore! Thanks for the head's up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19190622.post-78632605639194720622009-02-01T07:44:00.000-06:002009-02-01T07:44:00.000-06:00I think that Fraggle Rock is in our DVD player.

Did you notice they always yell on that show? I can't stand it. Sesame Street rocks. I often pull up videos on YouTube for the kids--there is a DVD boxed set that I keep eyeing up with all the good Sesame Street segments on it.<BR/><BR/>We don't have cable, so my kids watch DVDs exculsively. It is a real treat for them to go to someone's house and watch "real" TV. Life is a lot simpler around here without the constant barrage of ads in our faces.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02829064350820161435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19190622.post-1683979015684144722009-01-31T13:36:00.000-06:002009-01-31T13:36:00.000-06:00We are also huge fans of the Backyardigans. As yo...We are also huge fans of the Backyardigans. As you say, there's great music, stuff to be learned, and it's really smartly written. Everyone in our family loves it (parents included.)<BR/>The kids like Dora but I find her insipid and banal. Likewise Little Einsteins. We watch a little old school Sesame Street online (remember when Cookie Monster ate everything, not just cookies?!?!) Since we're abroad, we don't have tv, just DVDs, so our choices are limited.Imcombobulatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03812472199510321224noreply@blogger.com
