Seriously, the worst tv show of my kid’s toddler years. Agreed. I banned that show when mine were that young that show was insufferable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, it legit makes my blood boil that someone in Canada thought that was a good pitch idea to give a green light too and that it was a popular show. I have not met a single parent who actually liked the show. The worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUsedToHateCold Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I have an 8 month old and my wife has already warned me about caillou. We took one look at it and decided never. Not once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caillou (the character) is that perpetually whiny kid who most parents try like hell to keep their kids away from and avoid playdates with. My guys were just beyond the age range for that show (thank GOD) but for the few episodes I endured, my immediate thought was, "WTF thought that THIS kid was/is modeling good behavior??" Sadly, Barney and the Teletubbies WERE popular when my guys were little and we unfortunately did NOT miss that boat. Teletubbies, UGH....insipid on one level, nightmare fuel on another.

Be careful. Yeah. Wouldn't be disappointed by one more snow and a big one at that. But neither would I be disappointed to be drinking an IPA in shorts/t-shirt on the back patio within the next few weeks. I'll watch the tracking from the sidelines (can't help myself) but don't know if I can muster a lot of excitement for the triple-phasing jackalope after getting a taste of those 60s temps midweek.

Mrs.J Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Have the back door open slightly for the cats. Their cable is out there to watch. Love starting to hear all the typical water birds as we have a creek behind our house. Lot of chattering going on out there today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to visit my office at Fort Belvoir yesterday to pick up some supplies, first time I was back to my workplace in nearly a year. There is a creek and some wetland near my building and I heard the first few peepers singing their songs yesterday. Spring is getting ready to...spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was so bossy to Max. And for some reason you never ever saw their parents. Occasionally they visited grandma. Also Lazy Town was just horrible. The Miss J’s loved it when little.

First, the clarity/resolution of that YouTube vid is one of the best I've seen. Second, I scanned the entire vid, but starting at the point you suggested reminded me of the Overlook Hotel location in the 1980 movie version of "The Shining." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed them On a 12 inch black and white 7 channel tv. As far as my age, I was born before the middle of the last century. Quite a long time before the microscopic miracles joined, divided and eventually grew into the ‘dude’ you’ve become. As always .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the rabbit ears and we only got 2/11/13/54/5 /67.My Brother and I only had a zenith b+w family tv until we were around 9 or 10 ( friends all had color )then we got a color tv along with MTV lol. Cable must have been cheapo in Baltimore in the early mid 80s because our poor asses didn't have any doe . LOL. This was pretty much life growing up in the late 70s/early 80s in northcentral PA. Rabbit ears were the only way I got TV on the tiny 12" B/W TV in my bedroom. My parents got "basic" cable...which means that I had to go to a couple HS friends' house to see the "good" stuff like MTV, HBO, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormfly Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Anyone remember "SuperTV" from the early to mid 80s? WNUV (TV 54) would "scramble" their signal in the evening and show premium content. Subscribers would have a UHF directional installed connected to a Zenith decoder box that allowed watching.
