at your present age, do you still watch kiddie shows? what's your favorite and why are you still watching them? i like blue's clues and dora the explorer. i'm still sort of entertained by the activities they do. but my favorite is the one i grew up with.. sesame street! "sunny day.. sweepin' the clouds away.. can you tell me how to get.. how to get to Sesame Street!" i still love watching this even up to this date.. it's sometimes hard to find, though..

yup! my son is 8 yrs old, and he loves those in cartoon network. but sometimes he gets tired of watching cartoons. i think i watch more cartoons than my son. i am most updated with cartoon shows and movies, than the regular movies. somehow that makes me feel young.

Hehe, I don't have children but I still love to watch kid's shows. They're so entertaining and carefree. It's a real stress reliever. I don't watch too much right now because I don't have a tv (I live on campus). When I do get to go home though, I love watching Magic School Bus, Arthur, and all those arts & craft shows.

Not that much anymore since the kids are growing up but I used to - quite a lot - Barney was the big think when my daughter was born LOL I taped all the episodes and she would watch them over and over again. Sesame street was another one that she loved. She was always asking for "Big Boo" which was what she used to call big bird :) We still watch a lot of movies that are for kids and we all enjoy them, but of course at this point they are starting to enjoy other type of movies or programs. But it's not unusual for us still now, to spend a saturday with popcorn and movies like Mary Poppins, or the wizard of Ozz :)

Well, I have an almost three-year-old son, so I'm stuck watching kiddie shows whether I want to or not most of the time. They range from his absolute favorite, Spongebob, to Dora, Blue's Clues, Diego, Thomas, Sesame Street, The Fairly Oddparents, Calliou, etc.

Yes, I'm just Ok to watch kiddis shows, but I have to spend a fair amount time to watch it with my son. The fun part of it is to have fun with my son, the pain part of it is to have to watch same piece over and over again unless he feels enough. SpongeBob is a good one for me, but I would rather to have my son watch Dora and others.

Ha! I don't think I'll ever stop watching cartoons! I'm a constant visitor of the Cartoon Network channel and mind you, there aren't any kids in our house! I love watching Dexter blow stuff up and who doesn't love the classics like Bugs and Elmer Fudd?

Actually, yes I do watch kiddie shows still (5 days a week), even though my daughter is now a teenager. I'm the daycare provider to a little girl who's almost 6, so this is part of her daily routine, when she's not in school. I manage to catch some of the shows each day, and although some of them are very repetitive, and the tunes from them get stuck in my head, it's great to see her get such enjoyment from them. When my daughter was little, she was into them too, and her all time favourite was Barney. Nowadays, for myself, I still enjoy Arthur, Magic School Bus (sometimes), and have always had a soft spot for Blue's Clues, as I think it's very creative, and the guys doing the show are talented as well. My all time favourite to watch with my daughter was Sesame Street, but you're right, it's hard to find anymore. The little girl I look after likes one called Rollie Pollie Ollie. Are you familiar with that one?

When I was still a kid I loved watching Sesame Street and Batibot but when I entered high school my likes changed and forgot about those kiddy shows. Now that I have two kids I can't help but watch kiddy shows again. Since my kids love watching Dora, Little Bear, Lazy Town and Backyardigans, I already know the time when they are aired and I also watch those shows to explain and translate what it is all about in our native language since they're all speaking in English. It's fun to be kids right?

My daughter is only 10 months, but I still watch kiddie shows. I guess so that by the time she is watching them I will already be used to them. I LOVE Sponge Bob Square Pants, he ROCKS!

at my age, I say, yes! ;) doraemon is the best. i dunno, perhaps i like the way doraemon and his lackey, Novita were portrayed. it describes the day to day life of a kid, and the blunders of the kid-life. The best thing about doraemon are his "out of the world" gadgets. I remember one episode where he offered Novita "time machine tool" to travel back in the past and witness the love story of his parents. That episode was hilarious. His would be parents quarrel a lot and it seems that there's no chance they'll end up together. It was when Novita's dad was about to make a marriage proposal. Doraemon and novita have to work things out for the would be married couple. Novita dressed up to look like his would be mother, pretended to be her, and walked up to his would-be dad and accepts his marriage proposal. Of course, the real lady was not aware of what is happening. After going thru twists and turns, finally the couple got along, expressed their love and, as expected, married each other.

Yes I love to watch That's so Raven and Jimmy Nuetron. I especially like watching the kid movies that come out at theatres. Flushed away was really good,Madagascar, hunting season, and over the hedge were all really good. I think I enjoyed more than the kids. They wanted to get up and run around I wanted to stay there and not miss anything

I love watching kid shows stll especially with my little girl. We watch the old ones and the newer ones. It's fun to have a child to watch them with now and seeing how you probably acted as you watched them when you were that tiny.

I have to confess I am an adultswim fanatic. On cartoon network they have anime/adult cartoons and I have probly seen almost all of them sealab sucks and the new show saul of the moleman is pretty crappy and tim and erics awesome show sucks to in my opinon. But I love Futurama, family guy, Inuyasha the boondocks and alot of the other ones are pretty damn cool. Robot chicken is pretty funny also.

Yes. Some of them are a lot better then the so-called adult shows. It's just sad that a lot of the cartoons these days are not as good as they used to be.
