This IS Kinda Kinky!

I have been watching a lot of kids shows.  In theory, I try not to let Wyatt watch much TV.  I know they just debunked that rule of no TV before age 2 but still I don't like him watching too much.  I think the American Pediatric Association's official stance on the topic is TV does nothing to improve or hinder a child's mind under 2.  They might say that but they have never seen Wyatt's face when the Backyardigans come on.  Or when the Count does the number of the day.  Or when Murray and his little lamb guess another school.  It's pure excitement.  Sometimes he gets more excited at his fictional boob-tube characters then when I come home from work.  It might rot his brain but he is damn happy doing it.

I think my favorite is Sesame Street.  I don't mind watching that at all.  Sometimes even I find myself watching only to find Wyatt has run in the other room while I have been mesmerized by the geometric shapes or claymation.  They have a little skit with Bert and Ernie as claymation characters called "Bert and Ernie's Great Adventures".  Does anyone know what I am talking about?  The writers are having a really great time with this.  The theme song is hysterical.  Ernie sings it while Bert interjects with quip comments.  It goes something like this:

Every night when I lie in bed, (Oh no!)

I see pictures dancing in my head.  (Picture Sleep!!)

Buddy Bert, buckle up and we'll fly away.

We're adventuring!!

Every time the bed starts tapping.

Something special's gonna happen (This IS kinda kinky)

My favorite kind of traveling....

Seriously!!!  I love it!!  They need to come out of the closet.  I think Sesame Street needs a gay couple.  It would complete the whole "Its a Small World After All" feel.  Am I going crazy?  Have I just watched this way too much?  Have a look for yourself.  Tell me what you think.
