OMG, I hate those bastards. Mostly because their songs are so damn catchy - see "Big Red Car"

::::whispers in shame:::::
We've seen them in concert three times.  

We have also seen them three times, no shame. The original old school wiggles though, not these crazy new ones. Each of the kids lost their mind for them. We even made signs and brought bones for "wags the dog". Lol. They are the equivalent of "The Beatles" in children's entertainment.

I can't stand Caillou but DD2 loved him, and Barney. Ugh. Maybe I should just stick to Netflix with LO.

We just watched Signing Time for the first time. I love the educational aspect, but it kinda made me want to stab someone.

The first time we went I was completely wierded out by the whole rock concert for preschoolers vibe but DS1 LOVED it so we saw them again the next two times they were in town and I really got into to it with him.  The third time we had seats on the aisle of the front section and when they came off the stage and ran through the audience  Anthony stopped to talk to and chose DS1 as the one he interacted with.  DS1 completely lost his shit from excitement and I may or may not have cried a little bit because it made me so happy. Of course my camera battery died before I got a picture of him and DS1 together but we have these. He's talking to DS1 in the second one.

@jimbobcooter that story is the best. Your DS must have been so excited!! We made sure to get aisle seats after the first time we saw them too. Murray came up collecting bones and roses and the girls were thrilled! It's so great how they interact with the kids. I wonder if the new members are as good? I haven't watched them since they changed.

This NPR curious George parody made me laugh.

LOL this wins today. The man with the yellow hat is a dumb fuck. We own 9 or 10 of the dvds. DH and I often misuse movie quotes. "George just couldn't stop thinking about Chef Biscetti's weed problem.."

No to Spongebob, and Sharko. Yes to Oscar's Oasis, octonauts, dinotruxs, Wild Kratts, and Strawberry Shortcake.

Is this Baby Signing Time? Someone bought us the DVDs and the lady is so annoying. Of course LO loves the songs.
