Any shows your kids aren't allowed to watch?

[Earth 2 Chris]

We actually usually have it on the kid channels for Andrew. I'm glad Noggin and "The N" were separated. Totally inappropriate stuff for young kids on "The N". Another we don't let him watch is "The Naked Brothers Band". That show treats the kids far too adult, and there are subjects brought up on there I'm not ready to discuss with a 6-year old. Most of the other live-action shows on Nick (Drake and Josh, ICarly) and Disney (Zack and Cody, Corey in the House) are pretty harmless, I think.

I enjoy Jimmy Neutron, Fairly Odd, Ben 10 and a few others. Spongebob is hit or miss for me. Sometimes I really enjoy it, other times it just seems the creators are going out of their way to make an episode ultra-annoying.

I never paid much attention to Max and Ruby. I'll have to keep an eye out for that one. I don't think Andrew cares much for it though.

My youngest is 8 and oldest is 13.

My 13 year old doesn't really watch many cartoons anymore but I'll let him watch anything that is rated 14 or PG-13 if it's a movie as long as there isn't sexually oriented (I'll use the Notebook as an example).

The only cartoon type shows that I will not allow to be watched that I can think of are the Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama.....as someone posted they weren't meant for kids but I don't even watch them myself since many kids don't understand that there are animated shows that are geared towards adults. I have never seen a Family Guy episode as a result.

Anything on Adult Swim, Futurama, Simpsons...

Lately I have noticed that Spongebob Squarepants is reminiscent of Ren and Stimpy (one of my favorites!!), but that does not mean I restrict their viewing of it. My youngest is almost four years old.

American Idol... it's the Abu Ghraib of talent shows... most of the entertainment comes from people getting humiliated, and little if any true intelligence results.

I must admit. . .I let my kids watch anything pretty much on the Cartoon Network/Nikolodian etc.

Perhaps the worst thing is when I am watching the History Channel (which is most of the time). . .and they sneak up or in the room. . . and there is something graphic they shouldn't see or freaks them a bit.

We also let them watch The Simpsons and Futurama, although sometimes I wonder about whether that was wise. . . but most stuff just flys over their heads. . .the stuff that is a bit more adult. . .they tend to miss. . .or work out some completely incorrect childs way to look at something to make it funny for a child through some convoluted childish logic.

Both my Son (8yo) and Daughter (6 yo) LOVE Spounge Bob Square pants. Spounge Bob is to my son. . .what Batman was to me. He reads Spounge Bob comics. . .and the only drawing he does. . . is Spounge Bob and his friends OVER AND OVER.

I guess it is akin to my watching Rocky and Bullwinkle growing up.

What? I love Courage the Cowardly Dog! I love the creepiness of it and I love the bongo drums when he starts saving Muriel. I hate her husband, though.
