ugh...

Have you had the misfortune of stumbling upon the train wreck that is The Doodlebops? If you haven't, count yourself among the lucky. Our beloved Playhouse Disney apparently signed their souls away to the devil and optioned this irksome made-to-mesmerize-toddlers "music, dance, comedy and pro-social educational" show. While the "music" is more tolerable, overall, the show may be more aggrevating than The Wiggles strictly because of the creepy costumes the main characters wear.

Much to my chagrin, Caleb LOVES this show. Logan shares my loathing to the point that this morning when the show was announced as up next he asked me to turn off the television before Caleb knew it was on. Caleb normally has no interest whatsoever in the television. But, this show? It shoots out baby mind control waves that make him stop dead in his busy little tracks, glue his eyes to the tube for the full fifteen minutes (give or take, Disney loves their commercials) of the show, dancing and clapping and chattering the whole time. If it weren't for the fact that Caleb is interminably adorable when he dances and claps I would blow the television up to make that show stop. Seriously.
