Kid's programming - Page 2

Do any of you guys see a kids show called Miss BG. God I just want to beat that little cartoon kid to death.

Suburban Rhythm · 10-20-2006, 07:20 AM

I don't see this one too much any more, but what about that 'Big Sister, Little Brother'? Where they speak nonsensical babble and noises, much like the teacher in the Peanuts cartoons.

Ksyrup · 11-29-2006, 09:09 AM

I read something that hinted at this a couple of months ago, and when we saw them live earlier this year, Greg was not there because of hernia surgery (they said). Pretty sad for him, although honestly, I thought he was the least likeable of the 4:

Reports: Wiggles vocalist may quit due to illness

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) -- The hugely popular children's group The Wiggles is expected this week to announce the departure of its lead singer because of a serious illness, media reports said Wednesday.

The Australian group has reportedly scheduled a press conference for Thursday in the western city of Perth to make a "major announcement relating to members of the group," according to the Sydney Morning Herald, Australian Associated Press and the online edition of Sydney's The Daily Telegraph newspaper.

The reports said the group was likely to announce the departure of the "Yellow Wiggle," Greg Page, who has been frequently absent from touring since undergoing a double hernia operation in December.

The 34-year-old known for his bright yellow T-shirt has been undergoing medical treatment since June after experiencing fainting spells and lethargy, the reports said.
Calls to the group's publicist were not immediately returned Wednesday.

The Wiggles were Australia's top-earning entertainers last year, ahead of No. 2 AC/DC and No. 3 Nicole Kidman. The four men in brightly colored T-shirts, accompanied by a cast of characters including Dorothy the Dinosaur and Wags the Dog, grossed $39 million last year.

Page, who was replaced by an understudy when he pulled out of The Wiggles' U.S. tour in July, reportedly said he needed to rest and seek medical advice for the fainting spells.

"I have had numerous bouts of this over the past eight months but they are getting more frequent, and more concerning," he was quoted as saying by The Daily Telegraph. "So I have decided that I must go home, rest and seek further medical advice to assure myself that I will be OK for future tours."

Publicist Dianna O'Neill told The Sydney Morning Herald that doctors had not been able to identify Page's illness.

Page helped found The Wiggles in 1991 after he and two other members met while studying early childhood education at Sydney's Macquarie University.

The group has franchised its enormously popular recipe to several non-English speaking countries, including Taiwan.

Warhammer · 11-29-2006, 11:16 AM

My order for the Wiggles was:

Anthony
Murray
Greg
Jeff

Still that is sad if he is forced to leave the group. They are definitely more palatable than many other options at this age.

On another note, my wife and I drove 13 hours to Ohio with the kids for the holidays and my wife and I fought over which Backyardigans we were going to watch. Man, the Mission to Mars DVD rocks.

stevew · 03-26-2007, 08:50 AM

This was an absolutely hilarious send-up of Dora the Explorer on TV Funhouse this weekend on SNL.

Ksyrup · 03-26-2007, 08:53 AM

Thanks for that. As the little one has gone ape-shit for Dora and Diego, the wife will get a kick out of this.

Kodos · 03-28-2007, 09:22 AM

We love the Backyardigans. Noah loves it, and it is actually entertaining for adults. Really liked the Cops and Robots episode. And Secret Agents. Dora would be okay, except they take the repetition thing too far. I like Swiper though. I always root for him. "Oh MANNNN!"

Ha! Our daughter went through a brief Dora phase whereupon she'd say "Swiper, no swipe!" sometimes, but more often than not, "Oh, mannn!" in response to our trying to keep her from doing something she wanted to do. Was cute initially, but got really old, really fast. Fortuantely, she doesn't seem to be doing it very much any more, though she does still watch Dora and Diego. Lately she's suddenly taken to asking about Spanish, which I'm a little uncertain about because I'd rather be teaching her the foreign language and not the TV. Not to mention it gets my right-wing hackles up a little because I feel like the TV's indoctrinating my kid into accepting a bilingual world rather than a world where English should have primacy in everyday life. This kind of clashes with my more pragmatic side that recognizes this country is becoming increasingly bilingual (especially as multiculturalism has supplanted assimilationism in how we treat new immigrants) and as we are planning to move back home to NC, it would be a handy skill for her to have.

I also recognize that at this point she's rapidly increasing her mental abilities and do think that if we are to encourage multiple language abilities, perhaps now would be a time to start doing at least a little of it. I'd like her to learn more than just Spanish, though. Problem is that pretty much any other language we'd have to devote the energy and time to having her learn whereas Spanish itself as noted is becoming part of the landscape without our assistance.

stevew · 03-28-2007, 10:06 AM

okay-So I can't be the only one who thinks it's funny every time Dora goes up to one of the illegal alien creatures that only speaks spanish. They'll be like screaming at the guy and he won't respond. Tico seems like a good guy, he's a good driver and probably a hard worker, but he really needs to learn english if he doesn't want swiper to steal his car keys.

JPhillips · 03-28-2007, 10:09 AM

Don't ever let Boots carry anything. He'll always drop it.

cuervo72 · 03-28-2007, 10:09 AM

Worth mentioning for you haters that the voice actress for Caillou (English versions) died a few years ago (2003).

You are missing out on Wonder Pets. Anything that includes lyrics 'Pushy, pushy, pushy...on the tushy' is too good to pass up.

We have all the Charlie and Lola books...and recently found the stuff on DVD too. Those British accents kill me everytime.

My little one loves that show. Right now, her rotation is Wonder Pets, Dora/Diego, and Backyardigans, with some Wiggles thrown in. And of course even though she's not quite 3, she is getting way too much exposure to Zack and Cody, etc., that our 7 year old watches.

stevew · 03-28-2007, 10:26 AM

this deserves some Celery.

Ksyrup: That sounds like the same rotation for my girl, except add in a healthy dose of Jack's Big Music Show.

Ksyrup · 03-28-2007, 10:44 AM

Oh, she also likes that Johnny and the Sprites show. When I was in NYC a couple weeks ago, I saw a commercial for some adult-themed puppet broadway show that Johnny was in. Funny.

My daughter is with your daughter on that one.

Since we got Direct in January, we now have like 24 episodes of Jack on the DVR. But she only requests Jack Bunny, Scat Cat, and my personal favorite, Mel's Super Swell Dance Party (YIPPEE!)

Avenue Q?

Ksyrup · 03-28-2007, 12:30 PM

I have no idea. I really wasn't paying attention until I heard adult-themed, and when I looked up, there he was. I guess Disney doesn't have any problems with it, or maybe it's not as bad as they made it seem in the commercial.

FrogMan · 03-28-2007, 01:10 PM

It's Spider-Man all the way for my 3yo. He's just too funny. His big brother showed him how to put his fingers to sling web. At first he just couldn't do it and now he's walking around going "wssh, wsshhh", talking about catching bad guys and all. I often ask him how I should put my fingers and he comes over to show me. Very funny.

He also still likes Dora/Diego, Max & Ruby, Bakyardigans, Rollie Pollie Ollie, but it always goes back to Spidey. Did you know there's a spider spud that you can buy? I couldn't resist getting him one after seeing it at Wal-Mart.

KWhit · 03-28-2007, 01:25 PM

And by the way Dora is the worst f*cking show on TV. It's the EXACT same thing over and over and over and over. The animation sucks. The songs are ridiculous - for instance, the actual lyrics to one of the songs is, "I'm the map. I'm the map. I'm the map. I'm the map. I'm the map. I'm the map. I'm the map. I'm the map. I'm the map!"

I HATE HATE HATE THAT SHOW!

If it's the one I'm thinking of, one of the most popular songs in it is "The Internet is for Porn."

Izulde · 03-28-2007, 02:14 PM

The Suite Life of Zach and Cody is actually pretty funny, the few episodes I've seen of it.

Hannah Montana, though... God, I just wanted to throw the TV out the window when I caught an episode of that. It didn't even have the so stupid it's funny quality that Moesha used to.

My son went through a huge spiderman phase when he was 3. He even dressed up as spiderman for halloween that year and ended up wearing the costume around the house to play in until he grew out of it (over a year later).

He's 5 now and its all about anything super-hero related. Superman, X-Men, Iron Man, Hulk, Ghost Rider. All of it. He's also big on Star Wars, Power Rangers, and Ghostbusters (he was a Ghostbuster for halloween this year and a Power Ranger last year). Basically, if you were to make a list of what the stereotypical 5 year old boy would like, he probably likes everything that would included be on that list.

With another spiderman movie approaching, I'm fairly certain we'll see another big spiderman phase.

My 10yo has been a huge Spider-Man fan since when he was maybe 4, so it's no big coincidence that the youngest is into it. Just had to wear one spidey sweater for a little while, then one day his big brother came down with an old DVD with a couple Spider-Man episodes and there it was. Funniest thing is that there are maybe 3-4 other kids at his daycare who also seem to be into Spider-Man so they're all calling each other out the moment they walk into the daycare "hey look, I got my spider-man shirt and the socks too!!!".

I don't know about you all, but I think Nina on the Good Night Show is hawt. They have to get rid of Star though. He just looks like a talking testicle.

CamEdwards · 03-28-2007, 03:47 PM

How did I miss this thread the first time around? Jeez.

Thank God I'm not the only one who hates the Wonder Pets. I would drown Ming Ming if I could get my hands on her.

Backyardigans is a great show. Love the songs on there, and have downloaded a few on iTunes so I can play them for the twins. James loves "Yeti Stomp" and will stomp around the house singing it.

The other shows the twins like (they'll be two years old tomorrow, btw) are Go, Diego, Go and Little Einsteins. They freaking LOVE Little Einsteins. I have no idea why, but they do.

BTW, I'm shocked that there's been no mention of a) Higglytown Heroes and b) the hotness of Laurie Berkner.

Secret Agent Limbo Team, gonna beat the laser beam, gonna line up single file and show off our limbo style, it's Uniqua's turn to go, she will limbo good and low. Now she's past the laser light, she can do the limbo right.

The best Backyardigans episode is "Race to the Tower of Power!" Every time we go to the store, my 5 year old begins racing with me to the store so we can beat his brother (2 year old), aka Captain Hammer, and Weatherwoman, aka my wife. For the record, I am Yuckyman.

Currently, they are on a Dora, Diego, Wonder Pets, Backyardigan routine. Wonder Pets is great since my youngest will sing the theme song. After that, its time for "Frog". "Frog" is code for the Muppet Show, by my youngest.

I didn't want to admit to this, but she is hot in a wierd way. I have her Victor Vito CD and the Backyardigans CD in the car and listen to them while the kids aren't in the car.

KWhit · 03-28-2007, 04:04 PM

Oh yeah, Laurie is hot. I liked the older videos of her with the white background better than her stuff on Jack's Big Music Show, but she's hot.

Also, Little Einsteins is the best. My son has learned so much about music from that show that it is ridiculous. He is 2.5 years old and can tell you what instrument is playing on the radio by how it sounds - like a guitar, violin, trumpet, piano. Pretty cool.

KWhit · 03-28-2007, 04:06 PM

I mentioned my hatred of Dora earlier. Blues Clues is just as bad. And the Doodlebops totally freaks me out. Ughhh....

I like the new Mickey Mouse Clubhouse all right though. And my son loves all the Pixar movies (and I do too).

Draft Dodger · 03-28-2007, 04:07 PM

I'm quite attracted to Laurie Berkner, and I think Victor Vito is a monster of a song.

Graham's in a big Handy Manny phase. I don't mind the show, but do get tired of hearing it (especially Fred Stoller aka the spoiled milk standup guy). And our "last show" of the day usually is Mr Rogers, which I like because it's educational and calming - a great before bedtime show. Higglytown gets some play, as does the Upside Down show.

Hannah is a HUGE Mickey Mouse Clubhouse fan. She'll watch the same 3 episodes over and over again. Dora is her second favorite (and she too does the "oh man" thing). She likes Einstein's too - I like that, because she will help pat for the liftoff, and if you aren't helping too, she'll give you heck. Both Dora and Mickey are good for her, because she gets involved with the show - she's shouting at Backpack right now to tell him (her?) what Dora needs to help baby bird.

I assume this is the one that replaced the disgraced girl who got busted for her "technical virgin" skits? If so, I'm in agreement. Only seen her on recently (as my daughter's TV interest has shifted from Little Bear to Dragontales for the 6 PM viewing slot when I get home), but she's definitely drawn my eye.

Not sure on Laurie...her eyes bug me out for some reason.
But, she does wear shirts that are probably a little too tight on her rack than they should be for children's programming. So I am torn.

Along with that...you know it's bad when the new episodes of Jack's Big Music show started, and you notice right away that Brian from the Laurie Berkner Band has been replaced.

Alas, my son now doesn't seem to like Backyardigans, and always demands Blue's Clues instead. Some of the new Backyardigan episodes have been fantastic this year. Cops and Robots, Movers of Arabia, the one where they are fishing on that dangerous lake. Great stuff.

Funny. __________________ M's pitcher Miguel Batista: "Now, I feel like I've had everything. I've talked pitching with Sandy Koufax, had Kenny G play for me.

I really wasn't paying attention until I heard adult-themed, and when I looked up, there he was. I guess Disney doesn't have any problems with it, or maybe it's not as bad as they made it seem in the commercial. __________________ M's pitcher Miguel Batista: "Now, I feel like I've had everything.

His big brother showed him how to put his fingers to sling web. At first he just couldn't do it and now he's walking around going "wssh, wsshhh", talking about catching bad guys and all. I often ask him how I should put my fingers and he comes over to show me. Very funny. He also still likes Dora/Diego, Max & Ruby, Bakyardigans, Rollie Pollie Ollie, but it always goes back to Spidey. Did you know there's a spider spud that you can buy? I couldn't resist getting him one after seeing it at Wal-Mart.

The songs are ridiculous - for instance, the actual lyrics to one of the songs is, "I'm the map. I'm the map. I'm the map. I'm the map. I'm the map. I'm the map. I'm the map. I'm the map. I'm the map!" I HATE HATE HATE THAT SHOW!

God, I just wanted to throw the TV out the window when I caught an episode of that. It didn't even have the so stupid it's funny quality that Moesha used to. __________________ 2006 Golden Scribe Nominee 2006 Golden Scribe Winner Best Non-Sport Dynasty: May Our Reign Be Green and Golden (CK Dynasty) Rookie Writer of the Year Dynasty of the Year: May Our Reign Be Green and Golden (CK Dynasty)

CamEdwards Stadium Announcer Join Date: Mar 2002 Location: Burke, VA	How did I miss this thread the first time around? Jeez. Thank God I'm not the only one who hates the Wonder Pets. I would drown Ming Ming if I could get my hands on her. Backyardigans is a great show. Love the songs on there, and have downloaded a few on iTunes so I can play them for the twins. James loves "Yeti Stomp" and will stomp around the house singing it. The other shows the twins like (they'll be two years old tomorrow, btw) are Go, Diego, Go and Little Einsteins. They freaking LOVE Little Einsteins. I have no idea why, but they do. BTW, I'm shocked that there's been no mention of a) Higglytown Heroes and b) the hotness of Laurie Berkner. __________________ I don't want the world. I just want your half.

KWhit Coordinator Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: Conyers GA	Oh yeah, Laurie is hot. I liked the older videos of her with the white background better than her stuff on Jack's Big Music Show, but she's hot. Also, Little Einsteins is the best. My son has learned so much about music from that show that it is ridiculous. He is 2.5 years old and can tell you what instrument is playing on the radio by how it sounds - like a guitar, violin, trumpet, piano. Pretty cool.

KWhit Coordinator Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: Conyers GA	I mentioned my hatred of Dora earlier. Blues Clues is just as bad. And the Doodlebops totally freaks me out. Ughhh.... I like the new Mickey Mouse Clubhouse all right though. And my son loves all the Pixar movies (and I do too).

I don't mind the show, but do get tired of hearing it (especially Fred Stoller aka the spoiled milk standup guy). And our "last show" of the day usually is Mr Rogers, which I like because it's educational and calming - a great before bedtime show. Higglytown gets some play, as does the Upside Down show. Hannah is a HUGE Mickey Mouse Clubhouse fan. She'll watch the same 3 episodes over and over again. Dora is her second favorite (and she too does the "oh man" thing). She likes Einstein's too - I like that, because she will help pat for the liftoff, and if you aren't helping too, she'll give you heck. Both Dora and Mickey are good for her, because she gets involved with the show - she's shouting at Backpack right now to tell him (her?) what Dora needs to help baby bird. __________________ Mile High Hockey

And all of you that think Laurie Berkner's hot need to look at more porn. No way she's anything more than a "nobody hot was around" pickup. __________________ To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.. - Mr. Rogers

Suburban Rhythm Pro Starter Join Date: Jan 2002 Location: Pittsburgh	Not sure on Laurie...her eyes bug me out for some reason. But, she does wear shirts that are probably a little too tight on her rack than they should be for children's programming. So I am torn. Along with that...you know it's bad when the new episodes of Jack's Big Music show started, and you notice right away that Brian from the Laurie Berkner Band has been replaced. __________________ "Do you guys play fast tempos with odd time signatures?"

Suburban Rhythm Pro Starter Join Date: Jan 2002 Location: Pittsburgh	How about on one of the newer JBMS episodes...can't remember exactly which one...on one of the song breaks during it, it's the two guys with violins playing 'Sweet Dreams', Marilyn Manson-style. Spooked me out a little bit. __________________ "Do you guys play fast tempos with odd time signatures?" "Yeah" "Cool!!"

Kodos Resident Alien Join Date: Jun 2001	Alas, my son now doesn't seem to like Backyardigans, and always demands Blue's Clues instead. Some of the new Backyardigan episodes have been fantastic this year. Cops and Robots, Movers of Arabia, the one where they are fishing on that dangerous lake. Great stuff.
