• DVD Review: Our Country, USA to Z

  With July 4th coming up in a couple of days, many of us are feeling patriotic. But in our current political climate, patriotism can be a highly charged topic. Personally, I think you should be able to love your country without buying into the ideology of a particular person or political party. More "celebrate what's great about America" and less "keep the immigrants out." "Our Country, USA to Z" (Team Baby Entertainment) is more the former than the latter. Narrated by Whoopi Goldberg in her usual slightly sleepy-voiced style, this is (mostly) politics-free patriotism. Read More...

• Attack of the Monkey Children

  When your children get older and (finally!) move out of the house, what are your plans? a)    Move to a smaller place b)    Turn their room into a casino c)    Adopt a monkey No, I didn't make that last one up. Amazingly, there are people that, when confronted with so-called "empty nest" syndrome, decide that the thing to do is to adopt a monkey. Read More...

• 'Baby Borrowers': Not Going Anywhere Anytime Soon

  Mike's post last week about NBC's new reality show, "The Baby Borrowers," got some commenters fired up. Apparently it also fired up the Nielsen ratings. "Borrowers," which debuted last Wednesday at 9 p.m., attracted 7.9 million viewers, enough to put it in second place for its time slot. The show that beat it? Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance?" Hmmm. Maybe NBC should change the name of the show to "So You Think You Can Parent?" That might put it over the top. Read More...

• Moron Parents Abandon Kids for TV Fame

  My first complaint about Baby Borrowers -- a new reality show in which five teenage couples care for the babies of a few morons who rented them out to NBC -- is that it's just bad television. If you're going to make a reality series about abandoned children, at least make it interesting. Choose a grittier locale. Get a furry dog. A bald rich guy. A cute little orphan with red hair and maybe some catchy Broadway numbers about what a hard knock life it is but that somehow, tomorrow maybe, the sun will come out. Oh wait, that sounds familiar in some odd, distant way. But you get the picture. Baby Borrowers is not entertainment. It's dregs from the writer's strike -- brought forth during the summer TV doldrums to either sink or swim. Let us hope it sinks. Because my second complaint has to do with the aforementioned morons.   Read More...

• Outrageous Makeover: Grover Edition

  Sometimes the best satire can come from an unlikely place. This clip from Sesame Street, Outrageous Makeover: Home Addition, is one of the funnier reality-show spoofs I've seen. Grover enters the house of that poor man who always seems to be the whipping boy every time Grover arrives on the scene (clumsy waiter, anyone?). He then proceeds to install and remove multiple doors, turn to the camera and say... Read More...

• Giveaway: Win "The Muppet Show: Season 3" DVD!

  There are a few different ways to watch The Muppet Show: The Complete Third Season. You can view it as a freakish collection of pop-culture oddities: Gilda Radner singing Gilbert and Sullivan with a seven-foot-tall carrot, Sly Stallone sparring with a talking punching bag. You can look at it as a record of great live performances by the likes of Pearl Bailey and Danny Kaye, or a tribute to forgotten stars like Leo Sayer and Elke Sommer. You can see it as an an absurd backstage soap opera, following Kermit's struggles to keep his show afloat while Fozzie enters group therapy and Piggy threatens her romantic rivals. But I'd recommend watching it as a child would: Laugh when the Swedish Chef is outsmarted by his own dough. Smile at the unexpected beauty of the African masks singing backup to Harry Belafonte. Let yourself believe the puppets are alive. Season Three is the best Muppet Show collection yet, with fantastic bonus features perfect for family viewing (including a 1968 special called "Muppets on Puppets," which explains the art and process of puppeteering). And we have three to give away! Email babblecontest@gmail.com with your full name, mailing address, and the name of your favorite Muppet, and we'll pick three winners at random. And if you don't win, you can still pick up the set for $32.99 at Amazon. Good luck! -- Gwynne Watkins UPDATE: The contest is closed and we have 3 winners -- congratulations to Tracey from Ontario (favorite Muppet: Fozzie), Maribeth from Quentin PA (favorite Muppet: Rizzo) and Jeanette from Santa Monica (favorite Muppet: Rowlf)!

• 16 Lies Your Mom Told You

  What better way to celebrate the upcoming Mother’s Day than with a list of all the lies Mom told you?   Here’s the one my mom always laid on me: cracking your knuckles is bad. Well here I am, still popping my knuckles. How do you like that ma? Now would someone pick up my coffee cup and place it in my claw.   Here’s another: kids shouldn’t drink coffee, it stunts their growth. I did, and it didn’t.  Nothing got me ready for a day of kindergarten like three or four cups of black coffee. Didn’t stunt my growth one bit, I’m like 7’5”. (Margin of error +or- 2 feet)   Among mommy’s other big untruths:   Sitting close to the TV is bad for you.   Don’t make that face or it will stay that way.   Swallow that gum and it will sit in your stomach for seven years. Wait an hour after eating before swimming.   Did your moms lies make the list?... Read More...

• Top 10 Most Invisible Kids in TV History

  Television writers sometimes forget that kids are people, too. In fact, they sometimes forget about some kids altogether. In many of our favorite TV series, especially family sitcoms, one member of the brood often seems extraneous. In some cases, the child simply plays a lesser role, rarely in the room during crucial conversations. In others (see Chuck Cunningham Syndrome), he or she disappears with absolutely no explanation. I feel for these children, the forgotten offspring of sitcoms and dramas past. And that's why I honor them now with this list of Top 10 Most Invisible Kids in TV History. Read More...

• Forget Your Kids. Make Sure Their Dolls Are Watching TV

  I love things that are mini. If it's teeny, wee or itty bitty, all the better. Perhaps that why I am so enamored of these dollhouse TVs, which were created on a 1:12 scale and actually work. That's right, you can hook them up to cable, DVD players, even video games. Yes, if you want to play "Guitar Hero III" while squinting, this is your chance. Read More...

• Rich or Rehab: Where is Danny Cooksey Today?

  Once upon a time, Gary Coleman starred in the delightful sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes." He was cute. He was sassy. He said, "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout?" a lot. Then something happened: Gary Coleman started to get older and a little less cute. (This would be a brief pitstop for Coleman on the path to flat-out wacky adult). "Strokes" needed to resuscitate the adorableness factor, so the producers brought in a ringer: A tyke named Danny Cooksey. He played the role of Sam, the son of divorcee Maggie (Dixie Carter) who became a half-brother to Coleman's Arnold and Todd Bridges's Willis when Maggie and Mr. Drummond got married. Cooksey was cute. He was sassy. He said, "Hey, Mr. D!" a lot. All this ringing only vague bells? Watch this semi-fuzzy intro to the show from the Cooksey years and see if the magic comes flooding back. Read More...

• Turns Out TV Boosts IQ

  Now here's a study that just makes my day: children who watch at least four hours of television a day see at least a 10-point jump in IQ, and later, in SAT scores. It doesn’t matter whether the TV is educational or not, either – researchers from the Society for Lenient Childrearing found that it was time in front of the screen, not the content of the programming, that made the difference. "To our surprise, we found that exposure to everything from Little Einsteins to mommy's stories had a salutary effect," said lead researcher Dora Marquez. "The take-home message from this is that parents should watch whatever TV they wish, for as long as they wish, and not worry about what their children are doing."   Read More...

• Parental Confession: My Son Has Seen TMZ

  I don't allow my son to watch six hours of TV per day. But I am as conflicted as this week's Pediatrician Poll about exposing children under the age of two to television. It probably would be better not to, but I can't always keep my fingers off the clicker when my 13-month-old boy is in the room. He has seen some "Teletubbies" and an episode or two of "Kipper" (what can I say, the kid can't resist a dog with a British accent). But most of the Idiot Box interfacing has occurred as background noise; he's playing with toys or reading a book and glances only occasionally at the TV if it happens to be on ... unless we're watching a college basketball or NFL football game. Then he stares, open-mouthed, wondering how many years he has to wait until he can do the same thing while drinking a beer.   Anyway, all of this is a long way of getting to that confession: My son has seen TMZ. You know, the "news" program spun off from the celebrity gossip Web site of the same name. Read More...

  Childhood obesity is an epidemic, if the studies and media are to be believed.  It doesn't take much anecdotal evidence to arrive at a similar conclusion, especially if one has the opportunity to walk through a suburban mall of any kind.  Serious chunky chickens walking around -- and some younger than three.

  So what happens when the creator of the greatest parent-child relationship show on TV starts another show about a woman who wants a parent-child relationship of her own? I'll have to get back to you. Maybe. Someday. If I can stand it. For reasons that are normally ascribed to miracles and divine intervention, I somehow survived the pilot episode of "The Return of Jezebel James" but then walked away from the second episode within 5 minutes. It was simply unwatchable. And that's putting in politely. My wife, watching with me, covered her face with a blanket and asked,  Read More...

• 'Soccer Mom' Showdown

  Somehow, Tracey Gold has fired up the dreaded Mommy Wars again. The former "Growing Pains" star is the host of a new series on TLC called "The Secret Life of a Soccer Mom." The premise: Stay-at-home moms get one week to try their dream jobs, then, once the seven days are up, must decide whether to return to SAHM status or re-enter the workforce. It's a structure that allows for plenty of upbeat moments (the mom/chef succeeds at making an awesome tart!) and tear-jerking ones (husband breaks down because he misses his wife). All in all, pretty harmless, right? Uh, wrong. Read More...

• Are Japanese Cartoons Better?

  We just recently received a screener of the Japanese cartoon Pucca (newly available on DVD), about a little girl with superhuman strength and a love of noodles, who's in love with a boy ninja-in-training. It's all very nonsensical and fun, in that distinctively adorable Japanese way. Which got us thinking about all the Japanese animation we've watched in our lifetime: Pokemon, Transformers, Totoro, not to mention some anime of a distinctly not-for-kids variety... So what's the deal? Do Americans only see the good stuff, or do the Japanese just do it better?

• Sex on Screen: Girl Stereotypes in Kid's Media

  My daughter claims she's a ninja, and I believe her. She also has an older brother deep into some semi-imagined ninja culture. Coincidence? Hardly. Today, though, she put her ninja mask aside and is dressed provocatively as Padme Amidala in her homemade version of the outfit at right. At 8, does she know it's sexually provocative? I hope not. But my kid, along with yours and everyone else's is constantly assaulted by a barrage of sexually-stereotypical images in kid's film and TV. Here are the numbers: Read More...

• Tis the Season to Watch TV

  What, November is too early for holiday specials? Nonsense! Start yourself off tonight with the brand-new Shrek the Halls (8pm on ABC), followed by Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the animated one, a.k.a. the good one). NBC is competing by airing the Rockefeller Center tree lighting, complete with performances by Celine Dion and Carrie Underwood (yeahhh... we'll pass). Over on Nickelodeon, it seems like everyone's doing a "save Christmas" episode: Dora and Diego on December 7th, Wonder Pets and Wow Wow Wubzy on the 14th, Yo Gabba Gabba on the 21st. PBS Kids is a little less Santa-centric, with Calillou building his first snowman and Clifford celebrating Hanukah. (And let's not forget November's Mama Mirabelle episode about Kwanzaa.)  Classic specials include A Charlie Brown Christmas on ABC and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer on CBS. No word yet on which station has It's a Wonderful Life or A Christmas Story. Which holiday specials do you watch every year? And which ones would you be happy never to see again?   Posted Nov 28 2007, 05:41 PM by Gwynne Watkins with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: christmas, charlie brown, tv, shrek, holiday specials

• Kill Your Television: Why It's So Hard for Parents to Nix the Tube

  Why is so hard to refrain from using the plug-in drug with our kids... our babies, even?  Even though the data points to problems with attention, obesity, and on and on, many parents continue to use TV as a babysitter, even those who could afford to hire a real live person to put on a puppet show (or read a book).  Like many things we do as adults, drinking too much, smoking, eating junk food, lack of information isn't usually the cause of our misbehavior.  Other factors, stress, addiction, exhaustion, underlying health issues, run rampant over our will to do better every day, as parents, as human beings.

The line-up is impressive, to say the least: the August 20 - August 30 premiere week stars include Elijah Wood, Mya, Biz Markie, Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo), Hector Jimenez (Nacho Libre) and The Aquabats.
