Help answer some questions
We have a nice array of cable channels at our fingertips here in sunny North Myrtle Beach. And since this is vacation - and almost anything goes when you're on vacation - the kids have been getting their fill of Noggin and Playhouse Disney.
Those of you who subscribe to these channels can help answer a few questions that have cropped up in my head:
Does Pizza Guy from the Higglytown Heroes stand a chance of passing a random drug test? That guy has "stoner" written all over him.
Should they buy some looser-fitting clothes for the orange guy who hosts Yo Gabba Gabba?
Is it bad that I'm a little intimiated by Diego? I mean, the kid travels with a baby jaguar. That's pretty tough. I probably couldn't keep a tabby kitten under control, but he can lord over a jaguar?
Any input?

If you haven't realized it yet, the standards for the "hero" label in Higglytown are pretty low.
Yo Gabba Gabba just debuted a few days ago. We watched a few minutes and even Clare couldn't take it.
And Diego better watch out. I've heard baby jaguar is related to Siegfried and Roy's tiger.
Oh my....that is hilarious. I hate HTH....drive me insane.
And when did Yo Gabba Gabba come on?!?!?! Freaks me out. That orange dude needs different clothes...and the characters are S-C-A-R-Y.
We're now only watching The Backyardigans, The Wonder Pets (ugh), and Little Einsteins (on Disney).
And when is Baby Jaguar going to grow up? I mean...he's been a baby for a LONG time. And isn't Dora/Diego/Alicia teenagers yet? And why aren't they in school?!?!?!?!
Have a great time on vacation!
Just keep them away from Johnny and the Sprites. He's not just Johnny anymore. Any grown man who comes up with such an array of characters on his own needs to be monitored closely.
So I walked in on my 7.5 year old son watching TV last week. He had the most shocked and bewildered look on his face. He turned to me and said, "Mommy, this show is wierd." His eyes were as big as blue saucers and he looked so confused.
He was watching "Yo Gabba Gabba".
I sat down for a minute to watch with him. When the next commercial came we looked at each other and then I changed the channel. We both agreed that was the strangest thing we ever saw.
NO Gabba Gabba around here.
I went to an arts college and guarantee there was nothing there THAT odd. Except maybe my first dorm room mate (and even he MIGHT be less odd).
You have already lost me. Maybe it's because of the no cable thing at our house. I think I'll go back to work now... But, you have fun!
I think everyone's a hero in Higglytown. Thankfully, my kids have lost interest in HTH and the Disney Channel shows. We're an all-Noggin, all the time family (at least until DeGrassi: the Next Generation comes on).
We're using Yo Gabba Gabba to make our kids behave better. "Don't make daddy turn on the scary man in the tight orange jumpsuit!" No Daddy, we'll do better!"
Works every time...
