Secretly...


Or not so secretly anymore I guess, I freaking love this show. If I could get my butt out of bed a half hour earlier to watch it each day I would...just to watch it. Secretly, I kind of get excited when my kids wake up that half hour earlier so we can. Tee hee.

Why do I like it so? Well, I think it is just a smart show. I really think the writers do a great job at making it "smart". For me, as an adult, I love it, but my kids love it too.

One of the funniest things is the titles and words they use and manipulate to title the show etc. For instance, Memms and I were watching this week and the title of one such show was, "Vomitrocious". Hilarious no? Reminds me of how this lady talks. So we began watching and I laughed seriously out loud. It was about puking in school (everyone's worst nightmare no?!) and teasing the kid who always got a bloody nose (I don't recall that...but seriously funny stuff.) After the little show was over they had real kids talking about puking, complete with drawings and animation.

Anyway, I am laughing right now just thinking about it. I highly recommend. Shhh, don't tell you heard it from me, I might deny it.

Confession...I find myself watching the kid's shows when they aren't around. I have a long list of their shows I like-sad, I know. At least they are watching stuff that I like and aren't bad shows! I set my dvr to record the kids shows I like so when they watch TV and I'm sitting there I can watch something I don't mind watching. he he
(Guess what, my friend has a birth mother that's due in Feb. pick her! It's a girl! Yay!)

You're certainly not alone.... I turn it on almost every day. I'm always like "kids Arthur is on, don't you want to watch it..." and only half the time they come and the other half I leave it on while I'm making dinner or whatever and watch it. Although I swear I've seen them all! Got to love PBS!

PS I need your address... I'm too lazy to look it up.

That's hilarious! I used to watch that show sometimes when I was in college! Now that's pathetic! I didn't even have an excuse like, "Oh my kids really like the show." It is cute! I haven't seen it in forever though!

Um, have you checked out Charlie and Lola? Love that show!!! It is so funny. I think you would too if you like Arther. This was one of my Favs when I was a wee person, I still like it when Al watches it.
Nothing wrong with keeping yourself young ;)

Emma and I love this show as well. So funny!
Isn't it great to have kiddos so we can "pretend" it's them who want to watch and do these childish things, when it is really us adults who want to do them :)

I love this show too! And acutally when we were watching it today, it was about Binky's family adopting a baby girl from China. I was crying all the way through it! One of the best shows for kids AND adults, hee hee!
