That LazyTown is terrifying.

Yipes, all those weird little people and their creepy plastic faces. It's like Dog Boy for preschoolers.

Thank god my kid doesn't watch this; I would have gone insane long ago.

It is terrifying indeed-it is confusing because it's half live and half clay...it warps my reality!
My little sister was a big fan at the show's birth, but I think even she got confused and eventually quit watching it.

A really fun kids' show now is Wonderpets. It is so darn cute! It is meant for the very young kids though. I really love when they sing "The phone, the phone is ringing!"

And in answer to someone asking about Doozers appearing on Muppet Babies, I do remember at least one episode where the Muppet babies at least saw them in their underground complex. This may have been the only time they appeared.

And is that Yo Gabba Gabba (or whatever) pretty much like The Elephant Show

I sometimes watch Yo Gabba Gabba with my friend's kid (who is two) and it is way better than anything I had as a kid.
My mommy made me boots.

Jesus, you all are young.

The Great Space Coaster.

im too young for the great space coaster, but my other half wasn't; ive been educated on the great tv shows before my time.


although, im not too quick to knock cartoons i enjoy currently like, The Misadventures of Flapjack or Chowder.  ive been known to watch my fair share of Fairly Oddparents or Spongebob but i choose nickelodeon over disney any day when watching television with kids.

Flapjack is insane. And awesome.

Disney is actually okay for preschool kids, but their older kids programming ranges from cringe-worthy to straight-up evil.

i love the animation in flapjack (the humor is bizarre), which is why i enjoyed Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends for a while.  admittedly, im an adult who likes cartoons. 

ive never seen pre-school disney, merely whatever is on when im at a friends house who has kids (and i spend a fair amount of time with 8-year olds that dont belong to me).

BaronVonTito! I too love Foster's Home.
I just wanted to say that I have never watched Yo Gabba Gabba, but I have just seen that Mates of State was on an episode. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQDie3wu3_8[/youtube]
This is pretty cool to me.

I felt a little bit like I was being brainwashed into communism when I watched this, but I think it's because I don't have the full Yo Gabba Gabba picture here, having never seen it.
