Yep.

Since my kids were little, we were really vigilante than the limited time we let them watch TV was not going to be spent watching mindless crap

- Caillou was first on the list. Just totally mindless garbage.
- I added Ruby and Max later because that Ruby is a serious bitch to her little brother.
- Most recently, I came home and my kids were watching Barbie, I think on Netflix. At first it seemed like it wasn't bad, but then I started paying attention. The characters were the most idiotic you could possibly conjure and they talked to each other in the most offensive way you could possibly squeeze into a kids show. I made a note to my wife that this should possibly go onto the 'not being watched' list and then my son repeated word for word one of the insults from the show. The TV went off instantly.

Maybe I am just a snob when it comes to TV but if you need to watch TV, why waste time with mindless garbage? Dora and Diego were sometimes annoying, but it at least tries to teach the kids something.
