ITNG is mind-numbingly dull for an adult to watch, despite featuring the voice of Sir Derek Jacobi (It's fabulous for keeping small children quiet, though.)<BR/><BR/>PM - thanks. Annoyingly, I've actually just finished that particular article, but I do write regularly about marketing, so will definitely be picking your brains if another kids-related feature comes up in future....<BR/><BR/>Iota - agreed, we are lucky that the licence fee system and public service broadcasting commitments allow the quality of programming we have over here. I have another friend in the US who gets her parents to send out recordings of CBeebies!

I speak as someone who can only offer her kids endless cartoons, or Drake and Josh (which we banned after my 4 year old asked me "why shouldn't you ever tell a girl you love her?" and started swearing "because the little sister on Drake and Josh swears"). That's not quite the whole story - but if I want to let her have decent kids' tv, I have to buy a dvd, or be super-organised and record it when it is on (which may well be the small hours), and then it is just the occasional programme, not the great array that you get on CBeebies or CBBC. What I miss from the UK is intelligent programme scheduling, and a choice of decent programmes. If merchandising allows that to happen, I'll live with it.<BR/><BR/>When we first arrived here, I got a friend to record a day's worth of CBeebies, and I tell you, there was more quality stuff in one day on CBeebies than in a week of careful sifting and sorting here.Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-14549970462714430902008-10-27T10:08:00.000-04:002008-10-27T10:08:00.000-04:00First off, Mud you are lucky, not a pariah.
