We live outside of Toronto, have a three year old, and had never heard of the Doodlebops (not that we spurn TV, it’s just not on TVOKids, which is what our kid watches when she does watch tv).

Late last year, we were visiting friends in Rochester (also with a 3-year-old). Doodblebops came on, and I was HORRIFIED. This show disgusted me in ways I’ve never been disgusted before. Of course, I started immediately mocking the show, and denigrating american television for letting this crap on the air. Our gracious hosts let me go on like this for several minutes before pointing out that it was produced entirely in Toronto.

I have never been so ashamed of my country.

It seems to get browers stuck in an endless loop.
