Kids shows I hate? Hmmm......theres not many anymore. My kids have outgrown those over the top little kids shows. (yes, I am aware HM and the like are quite over the top, )

I love that you specified which Suite Life you like. Zack and Cody in a hotel? Lame. But on a BOAT? Genius! lol. DS has never, ever expressed an interest in iCarly but I love it. I can't stop watching. I'm not sure what the attraction to dumb tween TV is but it really is pretty fun.

Kids shows I love: Backyardigans is my very favorite. The songs are so catchy. Charlie and Lola are adorable too.

Kids shows I hate: Wonder Pets, Wow Wow Wubbzy, Lazy Town (which I thought was long gone, only to see it resurrected this summer). Used to hate Yo Gabba Gabba but something about hearing DDs sing their songs makes it not so bad. And I don't even need to see the Jumparounds/Fresh Beat show to know I will hate it.

I hate that. I remember a show on PBS when I was growing up that the black kid played basketball and the Asian girl liked math. I find it offensive.

You find reality offensive? Why should they have to water down a culture? Jordan is black, why name him John? Why not an ethnically black name?
: I like seeing more cultural reality on tv shows, especially kids tv shows.

But I don't want to derail the thread so I'll speak my 2 cents and bow out.
