I think that I enjoy The Wonder Pets as equally as my 2 year old. Please, please hold off from the psychoanalysis. Tonight they premiered the "Save the Begal Tiger" movie and about five minutes before it came on, Daddy took Ky to the playground for a few minutes and my heart sank because I was not watching the time to say "HOLD IT! NO! WONDER PETS ARE ON!"
And it isn't to say that they won't replay it about 20 million times like they did the Go Diego Go: Diego Saves the Moon movie (which I almost lost my mind watching all 20 million times!) and thanks to them for doing so because after they advertise that it's coming to DVD over and over again for a month leading up to it, and the fact that they charge ridiculous amounts of money for a kid show DVD, they should let us watch it on TV first. I also appreciate that it's not mindless like Spongebob (yes, I'm anti-Spongebob) and all his burping and yodel-laughing idiocy. It's nice to know that there is still quailty educational television that isn't filled with mindless bathroom humor as filler. It makes me feel like the Save the Mr. Rogers Campaign is totally worth it even if it doesn't fail, just to give some voice to those of us who don't like our kids to pick up dirty habits from the cartoons they see on TV during daytime hours. In my world, only the educational preschool shows would be shown from 9a.m.-5p.m. after that they can show all the more mindless things because that's when my child isn't going to come into contact with the tv. Yes, I let my kid watch t.v. in the daytime. Big whoop! It's not like I tie him to a chair and force him to have it babysit him or I don't screen it. He sits with it on in the room and sometimes he watches the whole half hour show and sometimes he just plays with it on in the background and he interacts where he wants to interact and if not then he sits and looks at a book or zooms his cars, does a puzzle or plays with his little people stuff. He picks more things up off of books and shows than he does people 80% of the time. If there were books that spoke 2 year old language about potty training step by step, he'd probably do it self taught. If not for Sesame Street reiterating what I was telling him, the ABCS and 123s would've taken a little longer to put together in an order. I'm all for it!
Having said all of that, I'm now off to go and mark the new Wonder Pet movie the next time it comes on so that we can sit and watch it together and enjoy the antics of Lenny, Tuck and our personal favorite, Ming Ming. |
