Fortunately my son is content with Curious George for his limited TV viewing time. That's a show I can deal with viewing. I haven't watched much Thomas, but I've quickly learned I can't deal with much Dora the Explorer being played.
I LOVED Curious George when I was a kid!
My youngest was just edging out of that age when Thomas became popular. I still don't understand why Bugs Bunny and his crew, Tweety and Sylvester, Popeye, and Scooby Do, can't amuse kids like they did when I was a kid. That little martian on Bugs Bunny still cracks me up every time I think of it.
Barney drove me nuts, as did the Power Rangers, which both of my boys flipped over. That stupid little yellow thing (name escapes me) that had a bunch of friends and everyone was nuts over ... not even sure what species it was ... was almost the worst. But truly the worst was Teletubbies. I just had to forbid that in my house.
