biggest part of Big Media
shows I have loved, or at least enjoyed enough to schedule in DVR (Product Review): 30Rock, Dr House, Boston Legal, Good Eats (won't get me Cook Ing, but helps me enjoy Eat Ing), Sopranos (at least early seasons), West Wing (early seasons), Psych, Eureka, Aliens In America, Bill Maher/Daily Show/Colbert Report (actually don't watch those often, too many to keep up)....
Kids Tv: grouped by age-range: if no note, then I rather like it
- 1-3
Backyardigans: awesome music (Douglas Wieselman and Evan Lurie (brother of John Lurie)), fun imagination games
favorite episodes: Surfs Up (funk), Harbor Patrol (soul revue), Ping Pong Bandit (indian), Sinbad (mambo)
Thomas The Tank Engine: tedious messages ("be really useful, don't cause confusion and delay"), but kids love it, and ties in with toys they spend hours playing with
Bar Ney: have never let it be seen
4-6: Nick Toons
Rug Rats: music by Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo and lots of movies.
Fairly Odd Parents: by Butch Hartman, not related to Phil Hartman (?!?!)
- 7-10
Poke Mon, Blue Dragon: oh lordy these are so horrible
Educational Tv: Civil War Journal, Nova, Good Eats, Top Chef, So You Think You Can Dance: ok maybe The Boys are atypical....
