Children's programming is stupid. Not only is it stupid, but it makes no god damn sense and they shit out a whole new series about every other week. And sometimes children's programming can be just frightening (Teletubbies, Boobah, and there was some puppet show I saw once that sent shivers down my spine). But for some reason kids just can't seem to get enough. It's not so much about the substance of the show, but more the characteristics it has. I sucks when you're an adult because these shows are not fun to watch (with the exception of blues Clues, of course) and chances are, while you're child is getting smarter, you're getting dumber (Sponge Bob, I'm looking in your direction). But I recently discovered the perfect alternative; a show theat emcompasses everyhing children need to be entertained and captures adults as well! I'm talking, orf course, about the Price is Right!

Think about it! it's very colorful, loud, flashy, repetitive, entertaining, and engaging (no one can watch it without yelling at the TV).

I realized this when I was back in Shompton, visiting my brother, sissy-in-law, and nephew. My 13-month-old nephew is just like any other toddler - very active. But I couldn't believe his reaction to the Price is Right. He was all over the place and as soon as the opening title came on, it was as if someone shot him with a tranquilizer dart. He stopped dead in his tracks and dropped to the floor, but then started clapping frantically in excitement (the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, because my brother reacts almost the same way)! And there he sat, for two episodes, until he passed out and my brother put him to bed. It was just plain adorable!

So, for all of you aspiring, soon-to-be, or current parents, try it out! It's a wholesome show and fun for the whole family!

(I have a picture of this that's so cute, you'd puke in your mouth, swallow it, gag on the swallowed puke, then throw up for realsies... but for some reason, the site will not allow me to post any pictures to my article. TECH SUPPORT, PLEASE!)
