Naptime for Little Man. I turned on the TV, which was on PBS. I was getting ready to change to something I’d Tivo’d, when Little Man saw claymation Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street. “Wanna watch dis, mom.” Oh boy (insert rolling eyes here).
But then……. after Bert and Ernie, Sesame Street decided to take pity on poor moms who are watching this with their kids and ran a segment with yummy Sesame Street eye candy, LL Cool J.
Yep. I said it.
Just when I was thinking that I could maybe finish out this remaining 10 minutes of the show, LL’s counting song was over and on came that blasted Elmo. Not cool, Sesame Street. Not. Cool! And as if Elmo wasn’t bad enough… enter this guy:
Mr. Noodle. Oh. My. Badness. Mr. Noodle, you just burned my retinas I think. Just looking at that picture makes me want to hide under my desk and start chewing on some pencils. It was that bad (or maybe I’m just a little dramatic).
I get it, sort of, that kids like that over the top insanity, but that was pushing it. Shouldn’t we be watching what our kids are watching? You can’t really expect me to watch that every day? Come on Sesame Street…more LL, less Elmo (get it?). And while you’re at it, can you PLEASE get rid of Elmo’s syrupy sick voice and replace it with…I don’t know…maybe George Clooney? That’s a show I could watch!
that seriously made me laugh out loud! i agree on all accounts...LL is DEFINITELY eye candy and i cant stand elmo!
