No, no, no. It’s fine, really. One need not swear at all in order to rant; one must merely feel fury and anger and vent it. This, most certainly, you have done.

Besides, the amount of sheer, unending pain you seem to be causing everyone who reads this thread… ah, it does my black heart good.

We just got a letter…  
I WONder who it’s from?”  
[sub]I kinda like Blues Clues. Steve’s cute in a silly sort of way, like the Kraft brothers[/sub]  
_OW_ okay okay…sorry…

However, Calliou…make it stop…please, before my ears bleed and my brain atrophies! Squash the Teletubbies like giant marshmallows [sub]or at least give some nice mind altering drugs before making me watch them again?[/sub]

Instead of making me feel better I’ve got every single one of these songs in my head at once. 😛

Now its time for so _long_  
But we’ll sing just **one** more song  
Thanks for doing your part,  
You sure are smart!  
Thanks to me and you,  
And my dog Blue,

ecchh::spit spit:: I just cant do it

But of course how could I forget my favourite line from Steve (singing about the planets)

“Uranus spins on its side!” 😉

Of course the cachinnation is lost on the little bug but its funny nonetheless!

Bwah ha ha…  
I don’t mind Blues Clues at all. In fact, I kind of like to watch it. My sister even got me a Handy Dandy Notebook for Christmas last year, as a joke. (And there is a velvet chair downtown that looks JUST LIKE THE THINKING CHAIR that I MUST HAVE, regardless of its $2600 price tag!)  
But then again, I am the aunt. I get to go home at the end of the day. And I don’t have to listen to my almost 2 year-old niece say “Boo? Boo? Boo?” until the video gets played. (It is kind of cute to watch her watch it, though. She knows all the words, and she does the dances with Steve.)  
I used to watch **Today’s Special (shout it loud and clear!), Calliope,** and all those other things on Nickelodeon. What was the one cartoon that was in spanish, I believe, with the two roly-poly characters?  
And on that note,  
**Blue Skidoo,  
We can too!**

Mrs. Spritle digs “Stoner Steve” b/c he makes lists and checks them off - so organized.

I kinda dig Stoner Steve b/c he has the ability to smoke gobs of healthy herb and still pull off a reasonable performance.

Stoner Steve (waking up): Oh…Hello…Wait…There’s something going on today…I can’t seem to remember…  
Blue: Bo-bo bo.  
Stoner Steve: \<snap fingers\>…That’s right…Today’s the day for the musical…Thanks, Blue.  
I guess his “secret problem” was found out, 'cause he’s been replaced.

How could I look my daughter in the eye and call myself a good daddy if I turned off her favourite show?

Her big thing now is The Land Before Time series…

someone… please… help… me…

ok, before i entered mommy-land, i thought the idea of a gay teletubbie was ridiculous… but come on! tinky-winky with his chuck berry male voice begging to get to wear the pink tutu and dance around? there’s something inherently _wrong_ with that. 😉

as to blue’s clues, i’m glad we don’t have cable. i don’t want to watch anybody but steve. it’d be like cheating. yes, in my heart and video tapes, steve is still the man. 🙂

What’s wrong with the Land Before Time? I loved the movie when I was four, I love the movie now. :shrug:

And Steve from Blue’s Clues would probably be cute with better clothes and some gel in his hair (ie, not trying to look like a five year old).

I want a Thinking Chair just like Steve’s.

Any Canadopers remember Téléfrançais?

Allô, Bonjour, Salut!  
Téléfrançais, Téléfrançais  
Lisez, parlez avec nous!  
C’est formidable, exceptionnel,  
C’est excellent, sensationnel,  
C’est merveilleux, c’est magnifique,  
Téléfrançais, fantastique!

They are replacing Steve? Why? I liked him, He was entertaining. I don’t mind Blues Clue’s so much. What I mind is that I never get to see the end becuase the kids I watch it with have such short attention spans that they never want to finish it.  
Why back in my day, I could watch a movie all the way through and rewind it and watch it again! Whats wrong with kids these days?

Steve quit. He wanted to do something besides be Steve, Blue’s owner.

Today’s Special! That was set in Canada? [Huh. Now it all makes sense.]

I remember watching that show all the time. But I don’t remember liking it all that much. [Maybe I was subconsciously attracted to Jeff. ::shudder::]

The last part of the theme song went like:  
_Today’s Special  
Shouting loud and cleaaaaaaaaaaar.  
Today’s Special!_

Then:  
_“Today’s special is dried apricots”_

And then the whole show would be about dried apricots. They just don’t make shows like that any more. [sub]Thankfully.[/sub]

Nothing can be as bad as _Bananas in Pajamas_, which, judging by the accents, must be an Australian import. It is an awful, mind-numbingly, bad show.

Steve from _Blue’s Clue’s_ lives in my head, too, but in mine, he’s wearing a leather gag and getting fisted by Tinky-Winky.

If you like to talk to tomatoes  
If a squash can make you smile  
If you like to waltz with potatos  
up and down the produce aisle…  
**Veggietales, veggietales, veggietales, veggietales.  
Veggietales, veggietales, veggietales, veggietales**

No there’s never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever been a show like Veggietales.

No there’s never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever been a show quite like Veggietales.

It’s time for Veggietales!
