Anyone else watch cartoons with their kids?

[redqueen]

Or just on their own, even?

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends had me cracking up this weekend. I usually just watch and chuckle a little, but this show had me cracking up.

I like chocolate milk.

[AlCzervik]

1. i watch The Grim Adventures of Bill and Mandy with my daughter

that one is hilarious, we also try to catch Dave the Barbarian. My daughter loves Fosters home.

[redqueen]

3. I like Grim more than they do, I think.

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

5. me too! Did you see the episode about the elves and the wood gnomes?

it was about why the elves get the cookie biz and how the cheated the gnomes out of it? It was hilarious.

[redqueen]

8. No, sadly.

Since I like it more than they do, we don't usually catch those. :(

I never miss Yu Gi Oh or Xiaolin Showdown, though.

We also try not to miss Avatar: The Last Airbender.

[TheMightyFavog]

10. With special guest R. Lee Ermey!

Funniest. Billy and Mandy. Ever.

[AllegroRondo]

2. I DO! I DO!

[redqueen]

4. hehe... which ones are your favorites?

I've fallen in love with Cheese. I hope it's a returning character. :)

[AllegroRondo]

7. SpongeBob is darn good

my daughter is a little older, and likes more complex cartoons. She likes Totally Spies, Yu-Gi-Oh, and WITCH. I still like Rocco's Modern Life on Nick.

[redqueen]

9. Yu Gi Oh is my older daughter's favorite.

We try not to miss that one. Rocco's we see now and then.

We missed a Yu Gi Oh two weekends ago and since it's a serial it's really irking us.

20. Spongebob and Fairly Oddparents

are both hilarious. The one where Patrick tells spongebob that you become an adult by saying tax exemption and listening to free form jazz is hilarious.

While we are pretty open in letting our daughter watch TV, one of the few shows we actually don't let our daughter watch Totally Spies. Its not about the violentce: the girls on Totally Spies are so damn vapid, it glorfies being stupid. I'd much rather her watch powerpuff girls, or teen titans or Justice League Unlimited (for those Gen Xers, the new Superfriends/Hall of Justice!)

[finecraft]

6. My son and I watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force

and the other Adult Swim cartoons (he's 23).

He likes Bacardi and Coke, and I like Jose Cuervo.

[redqueen]

14. I can't wait till mine are old enough to watch ATHF with me.

LOVE that show!

[eyesroll]

11. I've watched Animaniacs and "Grammar Rock" with my BF's daughter

She's only 2 1/2, but anything animated is like baby crack to her.

We were at my house and I have very few kid-friendly videos. My BF brought a few DVDs ("Chicka Chicka Boom Boom," "Click Clack Moo," among others). She needed to be nebulized, and cartoons is how she sits still for it. My DVD player is broken (and I didn't find that out until then), so we had to go for the two cartoons I do have. It seemed to work, because later in the day, she drew a page full of question marks and wandered around muttering interjections.

[redqueen]

15. hehehehe Grammar Rock

I'm thinking that's like schoolhouse rock. ?

I love Click Clack Moo... I've read that book about a bazillion times. :crazy:

And yeah, anything animated is baby/toddler/little kid crack. It's awful trying to watch the Simpsons or anything because they keep wanting to come in and check it out. They don't quite grasp the concept of a cartoon that's not for kids.

[eyesroll]

18. Grammar Rock is indeed Schoolhouse Rock.

It's a video made up of the grammar segments. I also think they've got a Science Rock and and History Rock and so on...

There's a stage version of "Click Clack Moo" as well. :silly:

[redqueen]

22. Parents are suckers.

Click Clack Moo on ice is next, no doubt.

[happyphantom]

12. cartoons

Our whole family loves Billy and Mandy( the evil clown episode..."DESTROY US ALL")...Teen Titans is another hit in our house.

[redqueen]

16. I want to see the Billy and Mandy

where Billy says "Don't look at me!" like Frank from Blue Velvet.

I really don't see that show enough.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[ElaineinIN]

13. Don't say it.. don't say it...Mac and Cheese!

I love that show-- I have a 5 year old.

The only problem is when she is upset she calls people estupido.

[redqueen]

17. hahaha

We don't have that problem (yet), fortunately.

Cheese is my new favorite character to quote. :D

[hfojvt]

19. If I knew when Bugs Bunny would be on

I would be there with my magic helmet on!
I hear they have all been edited though to remove some of the violence. How stupid. Everyone knows Wile E. Coyote is invulnerable and always pops back into shape.

[redqueen]

21. Really? Edited?

Hmmm maybe so... I've seen some of the Popeyes on Boom, though, and they seem as violent as ever. :shrug:

Buggs Bunny is on Boom as well... all the classcis are on that network.

Cartoon Network used to have a show (they may still have, not sure) called Toon Heads, which is a 1 hour show that features classic cartoons. They usually focus on a particular director or character, or sometimes a theme. I like catching that one. :)

[Jesus Saves]

23. Ever watch GI Joe?

[redqueen]

25. Nope.

Not even as a kid.

[Jesus Saves]

27. You should check it out.

M.A.S.K. too.

[Cush]

41. M.A.S.K rocked

still have the toys somewhere in the backroom

[WillParkinson]

39. GI Joe

De Viper Is Coming....

Best episode ever.

[Blue Diadem]

24. Yep.. I watched them with my kids,now watch them with my granddaughter

One of my good memories from childhood was my dad and me watching cartoons on Sat. am.

I like chocolate milk too!

[redqueen]

26. Awwwww

:hi:

I like cereal!

[SarahB]

28. I'm watching Arthur as I type.

:D

[redqueen]

31. Oh yes... I've seen lots of Arthur.

:hi:

on edit: What kind of animal is Binky (the big guy) supposed to be?

[cestpaspossible]

29. I like T'choupi et Doudou

and I don't even have any kids. There's something soothing about a simple, pleasant, wholesome kiddy cartoon.

[redqueen]

32. I've seen those characters

but never the cartoon. I hope to, though, based on your description. :)

[jandrok]

30. All the time!

We really like the Teen Titans right now. Avatar is also pretty awesome. I try to catch those every chance I get. Good stuff.

We're also into the Miyazaki movies that Disney has been re-releasing lately. They just came out with a new print of "Nausicaa:Valley of the Wind" that just freakin' rocks.

We also dig the usual fare, The Spongbob-Scooby-Looney Tunes-Jonny Quest-Danny Phantom-Kim Possible list goes on and on stuff....

Love the toons, man.

[redqueen]

33. Oh yes, we love Miyazaki as well.

Haven't seen Nausicaa yet... is it out on DVD?

[jandrok]

35. Yep, Nausicaa is out on DVD

It's a beautiful print, too. Patrick Stewart is one of the voice actors. Wonderfully done. The behind-the-scenes stuff is excellent as well. I highly recommend it. They released it as part of a trio of movies that had not been in wide US release. The other two are "Porco Rosso", and "The Cat Returns". We bought all three as soon as they hit the shelves.

[redqueen]

36. Cool!

Wish I had the money to buy them... we have Castle in the Sky, Spirited Away, and one other one... will just have to rent the new stuff for now. His movies are definitely ones we like to have on hand to watch over and over, though. Oh and I also need My Neighbor Totoro.

[jandrok]

38. My Neighbor Totoro is one of my favorites

It's such a cool story. I love the scene where they're waiting at the bus stop late at night. My kids love the cat bus.

Spirited Away is just a work of pure genuis. I can watch it over and over again and still catch new things.

We're still missing a few of his movies, but we've collected most of them. As much as we watch them, we had to purchase. We used some of the tax refund to get the trio that was just released.

[Fleshdancer]

34. My 3 favorites: Teen Titans, Fairly Odd Parents and Spongebob

good stuff! :)

[redqueen]

37. Spongebob is so cool.

There was a new one on this weekend ... we had so much fun watching the new episodes. :)

[Cush]

40. I watch cartoons all the time

Adult Swim block, other stuff on Cartoon Network and Boomerang, plus the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series on FOX
