Children: 1 Boy | [Attempted Humor]Adult Thoughts About Children's TV Shows | | Ok, I'm going to out myself as a morbid human being. I've worked for 15 years in behavioral healthcare and you don't survive "intact" without developing a somewhat twisted sense of humor. At least that has been my experience.
So, I've been seeing a good amount of PBS and Disney Channel and I've had a number of thoughts occur to me about the shows that I've seen that certainly aren't in the script. So I thought I'd present some of them and risk any sort of reputation that I may have developed and also to see if I can get others to admit to similar thoughts and share them.
Please keep in mind, this is an attempt to be funny.
Ok, first up: Handy Manny (Disney) - The intense sexual attraction that exists between Kelly and Manny is just so palpable.
- Manny is actually floridly psychotic. When he arrives on the scene with his tools and says "Okay Tools, lets get to work" he just stands there and stares into nothingness as he hallucinates the tools are moving about. People treat him so kindly because they are afraid of him because of what happened the last time someone said that the tools don't move.
Franny's Feet (PBS) - As a customer, I'd be upset that someone was putting on my shoes when I leave them for a repair.
- Why isn't the grandfather concerned that his granddaughter spaces out for 15 minute intervals whenever she puts on someone else shoes.
- She is collecting trophies. This is the behavior of a serial killer. That's fran-tabulous.
Super Why (PBS) - I imagine the kids on the show growing up and still consulting the supercomputer when they are adults. "Should I refinance my home?"
- If the supercomputer knows how many letters there are in the answer then it must know the answer. Let's just cut to the chase here.
Special Agent Oso (Disney) - Is this level of ineptitude really what my tax dollars are funding in the Dept. of Defense?
- Isn't it a little creepy that this little robotic bug is spying on all these kids?
Well, that's all I can think of for the moment. I just had to get this out of me. No, I wouldn't share any of these thoughts with children.

All I'm saying is watch the episode about snow and think about the word sh*t. lol it was AWFUL! Yo Gabba Gabba:
I'm sorry but the red thing looks distinctly like a dildo with arms and legs. Just saying. o.o Oswald:
The egg guys that ride the double bike are so gay its not even funny. And Henry (the penguin) has OCD really bad. That show is actually pretty weird. lol
I'll probably think of more.

Children: 2 boys - 8yo and 3yo | Re: [Attempted Humor]Adult Thoughts About Children's TV Shows | | I'm glad I'm not the only one making these observations...I think it's an adult defense mechanism.....
Here are mine:
Caillou
-anyone else just want to tell this whiny little shit totough up a little?
-and just what DOES "mommy" do all day (or "Daddy" for that matter.....)
Immagination Movers
Did this show just entirely suck until Nina showed up? (Maybe that's just a male observation...)
Also for Handy Manny...what's up between Manny and Kellie...ask her out already, surely he's hung out with Bob the Builder enough to know the situation...
I had to laugh this weekend, there was a problem with the town's historic "Well" and Mayor Rosa called in Manny (ever notice he doesn't present a bill to anyone?) and she talked about how important it was a symbol of the history of their town....Their town is "Sheetrock Hills" How much history can a town named after drywall have?
also re: Oswald...does anyone else catch that the peguin is "Squiggy from Laverne and Shirley....?" (does anyone even know what I mean when I say Laverne and Shirley? google it...LOL) |
