Quality television for your mind...


Why must all chil'rens programs be so nauseating? And why must the chil'rens enjoy them so much? The only cartoon I can stand to watch is Spongebob. Homeboy is good times. But the programs for the little ones...ugh. The girls (and Diego) like to watch The Doodlebops. It's highly questionable. I'm still wondering if they put some homo eroticism in that mug. It's a little iffy. I wonder how those actors can stand themselves everyday. Makes me want to climb in and smack them with my chankla. Hopefully they make alot of money. If you have chil'rens, then you might be familiar with the song:

We're the Doodlebops
We're the Doodlebops
We're the Doodlebops, oh yeah!


Around my house, it's:

We're the doo-doo butts
We're the doo-doo butts
We're the doo-doo butts, oh yeah!


You get it.

Whatever happened to the good old live action children's programs? From the 70's and 80's. When it looked like they went shopping at the local Goodwill for their costumes and set design. Remember Krofft Super Stars? Awww, that show was the shiznit. My memory of it has this vague, dreamlike quality...Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, Land of the Lost (the real Chaka--not the tagger!), Electra Woman & Dyna Girl, The Bugaloos and H.R Pufnstuf.

If that's not quality children's television, I don't know what is. Heh. I once bought an H.R. Pufnstuf at Hot Topic, years ago. I got so many props wearing that shirt!

That was some groovy stuff. It makes me wish I was still a kid. Look at the alternatives today...giant red dogs, aliens, sponges and Dora and her backpack. I mean, come on. Where is the fantasy? The creativity? Granted, those programs from the 70's were like a huge acid trip for kids but it was fun.

Fun
. You can't get that with the Doodlebops singing about sharing, being a good friend and taking care of your pets.
