I grew up watching the basics - Rugrats, Doug, Salute Your Shorts, Clarissa Explains It All, Ahh Real Monsters, Pete and Pete, Secret World of Alex Mack, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Rocko's Modern Life, and Hey Arnold.
After school we had Nick at Nite - which was the old classics like I Love Lucy and The Munsters. While I was visiting my cousins ( ages 3, 5, 7 and 7 ) I had the chance to watch an hour of the worst TV I have ever seen. All the characters are pop stars or have models for moms or live in giant hotels. Rugrats had totally normal middle-class parents with bad accents. I didn't have to worry about buying whatever Angelica was wearing. There was no pressure to be made up like Clarissa. And at night I did not watch ABC Fam shows about pregnant teens. Is this really the best thing for kids to watch?
So here is my plan = I will buy every season of every great TV show and will program my TV to play them instead of the crap that's on. They will never know they difference. No creepy doll commercials and no mini-skirts on 10 year olds.
I will do everything in my power to make sure they will be NO Miley Cyrus posters in my house - I shudder at the thougt.
