Brain Rot or Brain Food?!

There are those days when my tiny mind goes wandering down a path that leads…well, to nowhere really…but I still can’t get these things off my mind so I share them with all of you.

My kids watch tv…yup, here I am…THAT mom. Take a good look folks! They aren’t screwed up…yet… How else does a mom take a shower, cook a meal, sweep the floors, read a magazine, surf the net for over priced shoes, survive?! Here are just a few observations and thoughts I’ve had about kids television:

  • At the beginning of every episode of Franklin, they say “Franklin can count by 2′s and tie his shoes”. Ummm…Who are you trying to fool here?! Franklin is a turtle that lives in the woods…he doesn’t wear shoes!
  • Olivia’s uncle Garret is a professional football player…do you think he gets offended that the ball is called a pigskin?
  • How is it that the Bubble Guppies can start a camp fire or that SpongeBob visits the beach?
  • Do the musicians that visit on Jack’s Big Music Show take themselves seriously? Do you think they cry…A LOT? (Except for Dr. Strings of course….he is AWESOME!)
  • The sexual tension between Bob and Wendy is just too much! It’s time for Bob to show Wendy how good he is at using a drill, if you know what I mean…
  • When the kids on the Cat in the Hat ask their mom if they can go to some wacky, magical place why does she always sound like she is getting a happy ending from the mailman? “ooooohhoohhh! Sure!….Just stay in the backyard!”
  • The Backyardigans…..What the hell?!?!
  • If Carly was popping pills and Sam was sleeping with guys to get her homework done, you could slap iCarly on the CW and start drawing that 18-30 demographic…just sayin’….
If you don’t have any idea what I was just talking about, get off your high horse, stop being so crunchy and get down here in the dirt with the rest of us! For the rest of you…
What are your thoughts on kids shows?

    I LOL’d all the way through this. I can’t tell you how many times my husband and I have wondered about the water UNDER the water on Sponge Bob!

    My kids watch tv. For the most part, if it is on PBS Kids, they get to watch it. We don’t have cable, so I don’t know about some of those shows, but I would lose my mind without Angelina Ballerina, WordWorld, and Saddle Club!

      Olivia’s mom is always WAY more calm than I would be if I found my kitchen destroyed! LOL I always like to think that Olivia’s parents flip a coin to see who is going to read her a book and whoever wins is downstairs pouring the wine!

    I’ve wondered some of the same things like on Max and Ruby, where are the parents? Why is Calliou bald?

    People read into things a lot more than when my kids were little, but I did always wonder where the Peanuts parents were!

    I often wonder where parents are in some of these shows too!
