Comments on: Too Much “Info” http://www.daringyoungmom.com/2009/06/25/too-much-info/ On Her Flying Trapeze - Blog of Seattle-Area Mom, Kathryn Young Thompson Sat, 31 Dec 2011 21:14:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: kittyhox http://www.daringyoungmom.com/2009/06/25/too-much-info/comment-page-1/#comment-272680 kittyhox Tue, 30 Jun 2009 20:27:39 +0000 http://www.daringyoungmom.com/?p=1007#comment-272680 Yes, we're pretty much exclusive to PBS and we plan to cancel our cable and use the digital antenna we purchased two months ago, if only we can figure out how to affix it to our roof. I'm extremely worried about the prospect of no PBS kids! My husband left our son for a few minutes watching something fairly innocent on Nick or Nicholodean and came back to find a cartoon of a kid in a dentist chair with screams and some kind of (blood?) splatter on the wall. Just PERFECT for a three year old who is already terrified beyond terrified of the dentist, doctor, hair cutter, etc. Yes, we’re pretty much exclusive to PBS and we plan to cancel our cable and use the digital antenna we purchased two months ago, if only we can figure out how to affix it to our roof.

Of course, we have to have a gigantic cable package to even get it - and without cable, we would have... no channels at all. Sad but true! PBS is our favorite.

I will have to get one of my friends with cable to tape it so's we can watch the part where they tell the story of when my daughter swallowed that sequin. Ah well.

Every now and again the kids will get hold of the remote and watch something AMAZING! Just recently: the MAGIC! BULLET!! Yikes! I am tempted to try and find a "Magic Bullet" second hand just as an instructional tool. "This is the product ON! TV! And this is the product in. real life."

It's like they've been given a SECRET INSIDER TIP!!! And WE"RE SO LUCKY 'CUZ WE KNOW ABOUT IT!!! We live in a hilly/mountainous region. At our last house we got exactly 3 channels without cable, which we just went with. (One of them was PBS!) At our current house of 10 years, we get a big fat nothin' but fuzz without cable, no matter what you do. We got cable. Somehow there's just a huge difference between 3 and 0.

It's somewhat horrifying... I know what you mean about not missing cable. When I forgot to reschedule an appointment with the cable guy, nine years ago, that was it. It really didn't matter much after all. I'm usually the oddball who doesn't get CNN or HGTV. Glad to see you other oddballs out there, too... :) You are so right on about how just one commercial so quickly gets into a kid’s head. It’s somewhat horrifying…
