Kiddy TV

[Meat Puppet]

Ren and Stimpy is on Nickelodeon in my kickass country.

Ren and stimpy ruled. kids dont wana see mediocre crap like barney the purple dinosaur (anyone ever heard of weird al yankovich please check out his stuff about barney).. they wanna see funny, scary and gross stuff. what about the good old rugrats, scooby (which has really gone down the pan lately) and rhubarb & custard?
only good new stuff is reapers tales and spongebob. spongebobs only funny if i watch it with the right people though.

I think Kiddie TV is retarded now its just embarassing most aren't really that educational they teach you how to count in Spainish (yeah they'll need that) or how to find something sitting on a table, when I was kid I would watch Spider-man, Silver Surfer, and stuff oh and Barney but that has more educational value then TV nowadays. Though some are good like the Disney channel always teaches something no matter what the show is its characters and stuff suck but at least it teaches something even though you have to suffer a half hour to learn it. Realyl I think Kiddie TV is really bad.

There are actually a lot of educational kids shows now, far more than there used to be. And teaching kids to be bilingual is not only stimulating for their brains, it's also very useful. Spanish is heavily spoken all over the United States, and in places like California, most jobs want you to be bilingual in because of so many immigrants who cant speak English at all. Learning this stuff is great at the age it's geared to, when the child's brain is still developing.

I think it's funny to listen to so much bad-mouthing of kids shows. But then again, I think I'd be freaked out if everyone liked them, considering the average age around here.

I haven't watch Kiddy TV recently, so I can't really say. But most of what we thought was cool back then seems fairly stupid now, so it stands to reason that if you put today's Kiddy TV into the past we would have still liked it.

Yeah I'd like to take back the bilginual (sp) thing thats good but I don't think Kids shows are very good overall theres a few good ones. Like Dora and Barney, yet some like Boombah and Teletubbies are total crap what the hell do they teach?

[TheAbominatrix]

Well first off, anything that holds the attention of a screaming toddler is good for the parents or whoever is in charge of them. Secondly, they teach color association and a bit of basic associations and problem solving. They arent meant to be extremely educational or deep, as they're geared at kids who are barely speaking.

They did on another channel. But they weren't good. I think it was on Spike TV.

It was a complete failure, too. Ren and Stimpy even had sex in the first episode.

Boobah is what turns kids into violent angry killers, not Grand Theft Auto.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I've always thought that kids can handle more than we give them credit for, and thus dislike the horribly dumbed-down and saccharine world presented in children's programing. I'm not saying they need to be taught about the hard stuff in life or whatever, but I would prefer something that stimulates them more mentally than what most of today's programming seems to be geared for.

Kids' TV has gone downhill a LOT. I mean.. Teletubbies, Bob the Builder, Blamory.. >_< There should be more Scooby Doo & Taz.
