I'm not a big fan of some of the Dis*ney and Ni*ck shows out there but I will only list two for now. First, The Su*ite Life of Za*ch & Co*dy. Since when does Dis*ney think that 12 or 13 year old boys should date and kiss?? Oh yeah, probably long ago when they decided that The Lit*tle Merm*aid at age 16 was "not a little girl anymore" and could run off and get married to her prince. Also, i Car*ly. That young lady and the show itself uses the Lord's name in vain to the point of being sooo uncomfortable. Even my kids took notice. Those two shows are OFF limits at our house. But thanks to Dis*covery channel and my family's obsession with the D-backs right now, those channels are not taking up much air time on our TV these days.
When the TV comes on it is likely to be tuned into a ball game or a Dis*covery show.
We love this one! If you like trivia and consider yourself genius of all things - you gotta check this one out. We are considering a family trip to New York just to take a ride in the Cash Cab!
Okay, my boys (that includes Brent) love this one. It is not for the weak stomach. I have plugged my ears and closed my eyes more than once. But the host is hilarious and I tune in for his one liners and comic relief.
Davis (our creative thinker) is a huge fan. He will likely be on this show at some point in his future. Another one that goes along this same idea is Myth*busters, which we all enjoy. Come on, who doesn't like to watch things blow up!
Although this show has been ridiculed for being staged and a fake, we find it entertaining and adventurous. And hey, who can't use the info of eating a raw snake for survival absolutely essential.And best of all is when your nine and five year olds are so wrapped up in a ball game with their dad that dinner means nothing and the score means everything!
**I realize I am going out on limb here revealing some of the shows we tune into but if I had to choose between my kids watching young kids dating, kissing and cussing or learning how to clean up some poop and make a raft from drift wood - I'll choose the latter.

Thank you for listing those. We always talk about them, and then I come home and forget. I'm going to TiVo those today so we have something besides Disney to watch in the summer. That, and I'm going to go buy Clearplay ASAP so we can watch all the movies I did growing up without the swearing! Yeah for technology!
It is really hard to believe how far some of these "kid" shows go. If it weren't for HGTV I would be done with television altogether! :)
Hey...if you have time, pop over to my blog. I am having a little give away because I need some help chosing colors for a quilt swap I joined.
Love the duck tape pic. Our family LOVES Bear and all his antics on Man v Wild. If you want a really adorable show to watch, tune into Jon/Kate plus 8 on TLC-you will fall in love.
We are HUGE Cash Cab fans too!
