Then again, what I was watching is quite a bit
different from what's on now. Cartoons were only on Saturday mornings,
rather than the 24/7 barrage now offered by cable TV.

Oh yeah, my husband and I tell the girls all the time about how there was
no cartoon channel 24 hours a day when we were kids. They are amazed, lol.

My husband and I have been scouting out current programming,
hoping to identify what's appropriate & what isn't, now -- before the
little bean has a chance to develop any appetites of his own. I've been
joking (or not, really) that I'll use the parental control functions to
block out Nickelodeon's Cartoon channel in it's entirety. Yech.

Whatever, it's not they sit there and watch it for 24/7 though. They have
their favorites and watch those when they have some time and homework is
done or it's cold out or whatever. I doesn't bother me because I know more
often than not, they go and play together or do a craft project or
something. )
