Well two old favourites have returned to our screens, so it must be time for my bi-annual promise to keep this blog updated regularly.
The always good value, Wonder Pets is back with a vengeance. Like all the best in kids TV, there's always plenty for the grown-ups to enjoy. Tonight there was an absolutely merciless swipe at Care Bears to enjoy, as the Wonder Pets visited Happy Forest, where no-one was happy despite constantly singing cheerful songs. Top notch.
Meanwhile, at the opposite end of things is the now completely bereft of ideas Super Why. When they pitched the (admitedly great) idea for the show to TV Execs they had precisely four ideas for shows. Despite ploughing on for several seasons since, they are yet to come up with another idea. Oh well.

An Update on Our Telly-Box Watching
Goodness, another month goes by without a post on this blog. Anyway, I just thought I'd quickly bring you up to date with the viewing habits in our house.
Yesterday's Balamory threw up the interesting prospect of the Balamory Morris Dancing Society - about as likely as the Balamory Kurdish Community I mentioned a few posts back. It also featured our old friend Edie being sent to an oil rig to cheer the boys up - well if there's one woman for a job like that ("I can show you it all, come up and see me sometime") - all captured on video as always.
The Night Garden episode we saw this morning featured the Tombliboos riding on the Pinky Ponk desperately trying not to spill their juice. Eventually they did, of course, and needed Macca Pacca to blow them off with his Uff-Puff to get clean. No, it's too easy. I'll let you do your own jokes.
Meanwhile, 3rd and Bird, the poor man's Wonder Pets continues to bore us, and Boo! makes Dad want to launch bricks at the TV, however on the bright side, at least we got to see Smokey dragged up as Suzie from Balamory the other day and Pingu is back.

Rabbit Food and Roast Duck
DTY has embarked on a mission of, what we have come to term, "Bunny Bothering". Visiting DTE's rabbit is now the sole purpose of DTY's life. She's long since figured how to open the hutch and generously shares her affections with the somewhat frightened and bewildered rabbit at every opportunity.
DTE takes her responsibility of looking after her rabbit very seriously, and ensures that she gets a dose of treats every morning. Special Bunny Chocolate Drops, Yoghurt Drops and Crunchy Fruit things are the snacks in question. We've also been working hard on the concept of sharing recently. Therefore it was with some pride and a little alarm that we discovered that DTE was carefully sharing the rabbit treats between her bunny and her little sister. We're not sure how long it's been going on, but DTY looked absolutely delighted with her mouthful of rabbit snacks. Oh well.
Meanwhile, their normally animal-loving parents have been plotting to wring the neck of the duck with the affected lisp on Wonder Pets, and cook it for dinner. Our current vote for most annoying Kids TV character.
