I know that there are a lot of parents out there who will call me a monster for allowing my daughter to watch TV at such a tender and impressionable age. I counter that if not via the TV, then how will she ever learn to be a responsible consumer of goods?
Being the good parent that I am I try to direct her toward good programing and away from that I deem harmful. Here are a few of the good and bad in no particular order.
Sesame Street - Without doubt my daughters favorite show, and rightfully so. It is chock full of music and dancing and numbers and letters. Good stuff in my book. It also has Elmo who is adored by children the world over. I think he was created to bring more money in to PBS.
Animalia -WTF is this show supposed to be teaching kids? I don't get it and the animation is "teh su ck".
Zaboomafoo - I am pro-lemur so I like this show. It has actual learning content all about critters, and kids *LOVE* critters. To balance the good learning-about-animal parts it has the unfortunate Zabuland segments.
Charlie and Lola - Awesomeness.
Thomas and Friends - Gits. Sir Toppem Hat is always getting very cross with his possessed possessions. I can't figure out why he doesn't sell them all off and get some tools that dont give him any back talk.
Handy Manny - I like this show because it encourages kids to use tools and fix stuff.
