well, i dont have kids, but i was watching some kids shows a while ago, and some of the crap on these shows was bewildering.

First, i watched Mr. Dressup (a canadian kids show from when my parent where kids to when i was a kid) and i still have to say that show is the best for kids. he doesnt dumb anything down, and he doesnt treat kids like idiots. hes also a really good artist.

Then, i watched the new teletubbies. All i saw was Tinky Winky dancing in front of a spiraling background making wierd noises like "Ooooo! Woooo! Eeeeek!" i mean WTF does this mean?!?!! are they suggestiong acid's cool for kids? it almost made me want to try drugs!

now i dont know about you guys, but ide suggest buying DVD's for old kids shows, like the OLD sesemie street, Mr Dressup, Bugs Bunnie, and other great classics. dont let your kids watch these hippy shows!!!

BLAH!

Once the kids reach puberty and start watching MTV, all hope is lost.

I loved Bill Nye, but I guess the network execs decided that intelligent entertainment doesn't sell as well as stupid flashes of light and endless commercials which subliminally influence children to buy the company's products later in life. Damn.

Bill Nye is the absolute best show for kids. There is this one shown, I don't know the name, and it makes no sense whatsoever. There is like a pink haired girl, and a french guy with a mustache who dresses in nothing but blue and they interact with clay people in weird ways. Like, it was one of the clay dude's birthday, right? So, in an attempt to find a proper gift, the french guy stops on various panels in his house, flips around, and catches what comes out. He passes up sports stuff and other good gifts in favor of a rediculously huge toothbrush. So he gives the kid the toothbrush and tells him to use it. I mean, that's rude! He embarasses the kid on his birthday by telling him that he has bad teeth and bad breath. Finally, everybody on the show comes out and dances and sings. There is another show that's wierd. I've seen the comercials. It's like, a yellow rat that dances and sings. What is tv coming to?

BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY!
Bill, bill, Bill, Bill!
Science rules!
BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY!

That was all the lyrics to the theme. Just "Bill" over and over again. He was cool though.

All those hours of Tele-tubbies results in this:

Yea, I used to love Bill Nye. I watched that show all the time when I was younger. The cool thing was that it gave me a nice advantage over the other kids in my earlier years of school.

That's why I need to make children's shows. This way I can horribly corrupt the future and rise to power using my army of Terminators built in secret underground bases b children. Hey.....If Bungie really wants to achieve world domination they should make a TV show for kids. Gruntymon

I used to watch Bill Nye religiously. In fact, I can easily admit that Bill Nye is what made me interested in and fascinated by science. Best. Educational. Show. Ever!

I have a theory regarding the suckiness of modern Children's TV--it involves Cream Cheese, Liberals, and a flying Lemur.

Agreed.

But, I also watch Comedy Central on occasion (stand-up is awesome), and Cartoon Network when I'm up really late and I hope something funny is on Adult Swim (which there usually is).

This brings up a good question; who was the bastard that decided that anything scientific is nerdy and uncool? I mean, I really like some of that stuff. Good thing I've decided to piss away the idea of being a cool person. It's all about what I like.

Yeah, you keep telling yourself that.

All of us here are geeks, in one form or another. If you weren't a geek, then what the crap would you be doing on a Bungie-devoted forum?
