The conversation quoted below reminded me of some teevee-&-offspring stuff: quote:

ORIGINAL: LaTigresse If I have the grands it might be SpongeBob SquarePants. I started putting SpongeBob on while getting ready for work in the morning about a month ago, after days of Jon + Kate and balloon boy on the 'news'. Love starting the day with a giggle. OP: none of the shows listed. Grey's if I remember it's on, The Amazing Race for a few minutes now and then to see the cities they are in. Other than that, sports or the news. We did have teevee a couple of times during the offsprings' childhoods, & there was some teevee I deliberately exposed them to. & because everybody else had teevee, practically, they were not hardly deprived at all . . .. . It was more that our home was a reprieve from the boob-tube, a place where other life could exist. We were living with family for a while during their school-age phase, & the family member had cable, with SciFi channel. & for that period, every morning's wake-up rituals were accompanied by re-runs of 'Lost in Space'. About the only program I ever plunked them in front of the teevee to watch & said, yes, watch this, lol, was 'Star Trek'. Old skool. Kirk. Spock. Etc etc. The elder two, boy-offspring were, um, kindergartner-ish & somewhat puzzled. They did not initially grok Trek, but waiting is. Now, massive, proud geeks. Tech-specs quoting uber-nerds. &, as we all know, the geeks shall inherit the earth, lol . . . . .
