Danger Mouse
I realized on Tuesday that I hadn't let the boys watch any television since Lisa left for France. Actually, I should be accurate and say that they haven't watched any television since Wyatt left. He is the only one of the boys who can fully operate the 400 disk dvd player.
The boys do not get access to regular cable tv. We only allow them to watch dvds that we have selected. We load them up into the big dvd player and they can select them from an on-screen menu.
The Brady Bunch is a long running favorite with only season five to go. They have also been enjoying Leave it to Beaver. Yesterday I added Danger Mouse season one to their DVD collection and turned it on for Griffin and Harry. So far it seems to be a hit. I also ordered Lost in Space season one.
The only problem with our system is that the boys will grow up and have fond memories of television shows that are not common for their generation. They will get strange looks from others when they recall watching Leave it to Beaver while others talk about Power Rangers. I don't think that is such a bad thing.

Make sure you throw in a few Monty Python's in for them.
Good on you. The less tv the better, I say. The older ones are better anyway; todays stuff is more violent and rude........
Or am I just getting to old for it all now????
The kid's cartoons now are mostly very sarcastic and have a cynical grown up attitude. The old shows had a better sense of life.
i used to love Lost In space when I was a kid, so why shouldnt they.
smithy was a real baddy and probably still is. let them believe that and im so glad you dont let them watch tv - horrible stuff.
