Mangy - get with the program. we've watched these shows for eons. yes, they are trippy. little tiny kids love 'em!!! (I could never stand them). Spidey still likes them, but I can usually tempt him with something more suitable ... "Oh look! Scarface is on HBO!"

these pbs shows were developed for little kids (infants/toddlers) based on research of effects of TV on children. the idea is to provide interesting visuals at a slower pace to the little kids so they can follow along. research shows that typical kids shows are too fast paced, leading from one short scene to the next (i.e., spongebob), causing kids to develop very short attention spans, leading to ADD, and other stuff, or some crap like that. I forget the whole theory.

meanwhile, just eat your brownie, sit back, and enjoy the show.:funn:

How did children ever develop before they came up with these "infant/toddlers" shows?

Now researchers are saying TV- and computer-based kiddie learnin' stuff slows the kids' development down because it's not 3-dimensional--like the "real" world. Sheesh!.:roll:....all they need to do is give the kids a box of blocks, a ball, a couple of picture books and a companion and turn off the tube.

Have y'all ever seen those Baby Einstein videos? We were over at BobbyJ's when Brody was really small (smaller) and one of those Baby Einstien videos was on....we (the adults) were fascinated by this, we could not take our eyes off of it. :shock: We actually got tickled at ourselves, we enjoyed it more than he did.

Those are creepy! My friends' babies can be in a full-on meltdown, and they'll put Baby Einstein in and the kids just go into a trance...

I developed an immunity to the music when I was in school the first time.

love those Baby Einsteins. Bought the whole collection for my nephew years ago. The baby loves them now too. When my older nephew was 2 he wasn't speaking yet up to par yet, and after I got the videos, he said fish for the first time. I cried. Those are excellent, well thought out teaching aides. They use the primamry colors, lots of repetition and they discovered the use of classical music helps to absorb the information somehow.
