 What has the world come to?!
What is this I hear about the cookie monster? He is starting a campaign that cookies are only a sometimes food. I grew up with the cookie monster? Is a blue puppet really to blame for children obesity?
This is the CNN article: http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/...lessmonster.ap/

Re: What has the world come to?!
I heard about that the other day. The cookie monster should fire back with a call to social services for child neglect. Who's the doofus that buys her daughter bags and bags of cookies anyways and lets her eat them all gone? Or did the cookie monster sneak into her bedroom at night and force them down her throat?

Re: What has the world come to?!
Oh the old Andy Griffith Show there was a character named Otis who was the town drunk. He never drove a car and he would even come into the jail and lock himself up.
When they had a reunion show, Otis was sober and working as an ice cream man. Now Cookie Monster will only be eating cookies sometimes.

Re: What has the world come to?!
I heard Fat Albert was on the Atkins Diet, too. They are planning to introduce a new Fat Albert cartoon show where he diets and excersises and eventually loses weight. It's supposed to feature guest voice appearances by Jared, the Subway guy.
Check it out: htttp:/newswire.com/2005/fatalbert/atkinsdiet

Well, they should rehab Oscar the Grouch too! We can all see the damage he has done to Mr Magoo!

Re: What has the world come to?!
I think there are far too many kid shows on television. They spend way too much time in front of the television.
Parents no longer teach their kids to read or count. They let a tv show do it for them. Kids should not be allowed to have more than 30 minutes a day in front of the tv.

Re: What has the world come to?!
Magoo that is our rule, we let them watch cartoons or play video games for the last half an hour before they go to bed. Now admittedly we let them watch a little more in the winter when its to cold to play outside or if its a nasty rainy day, but we try to get them to use their imagination and make up games or, use blankets to build a fort in the play room or something. I tought my daughter counting and addition and subtraction by teaching her how to play Alley Craps when she was 3 we use to shoot in the back of my store, but last time we played I lost $20 to her and she made me pay by lecturing me on how if you play the game you have to be willing to pay the price, so I don't play with her anymore, now we paly uno or Monopoly.

Re: What has the world come to?!
Watching television before bedtime is too stimulating for younger children. It keeps them from falling asleep. Children need quiet before betime. You cannot get a child all riled up and then throw them in a bed and tell them to go to sleep.
I have no problem with children over 5 watching television before bedtime, but it should not be an "action" type cartoons or anything that will get them overly stimulated. Whatever happened with reading a bedtime story before bedtime? There was a reason we did that. It put the child in the mood to go to sleep and cemented the relationship between parent and child.

Re: What has the world come to?!
So, I shouldn't let my daughter watch Teen Titans before bed? Maybe I should put in Navy Seals instead.
