on children's shows

i was babysitting a toddler the other day and because we are wasteful, the television was on pretty much the whole time. also because i couldn't find the remote. (i know, i know, i could've turned it off by the side of the tv. shut up.)

it was on nick junior or disney junior or whatever. one of those kids channels that seem to be training children to speak to the tv box. and the only time i've seen a kid answer is when they are trying to show off to me that they know the answer. even toddlers dismiss dora's sing-along.

advertising, though: apparently there are seasons for children's shows. and as a commercial, bubble guppies (okay this show is like mermaids but more creepy in a childish way) did a music video. p-p-pencil case. as in a parody of lady gaga. 

the result was strange.

children's shows are weird.
