Whatever happened to good, wholesome family shows like The Walton's, Andy Griffin, The Cosby Show, The Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres and I Love Lucy?
Paden is only 3, well almost 4 in a couple weeks, but recently he has been really aggressive and then suddenly he'll pop out some sexual retort or action. At first, I was just floored. I kept thinking, "Where is he seeing this?" Then Steve pointed out a commercial on early in the evening for a later show that was just to the point of soft porn.
This week I've been watching the cartoons he's watching too. He doesn't seem interested in anything that is actually okay for him to watch. He wants to watch The New Batman, X-Men and that kind of thing. I figured out that's where his aggressiveness comes from. So I've been working on his tv viewing. I've introduced him to Sesame Street, Word Girl, WordWorld, Clifford. He's protested. I haven't given in.
Steve and I have given up prime time tv viewing of NCIS and CSI. We now watch the Ax Men and other things on the History Channel. Steve and I like to watch The Cosby reruns on TVLand. I'm really glad that spring is on the way and it's been nice lately. This allows us to go out in the evenings and not worry about the tv.
Colton on the other hand has discovered the Beverly Hillbillies and is collecting the season epidodes on DVD. He found season three at a pawn shop this weekend and loves watching it.
I know that I'm thankful for TV Land and PBS.
