Backyardigans.

This show confuses the heck out of me. You have the 5 characters: Hippo girl, who seems to be the spoiled rotten bossy queen; duh-personality Dinosaur boy, the Blue bird of follow-along Pablo; Moose who has the smallest roles, and the fifth one is some creature (I can’t figure out what it’s supposed to be) who appears to be the real leader.

I can’t stand the Hippo girl. What a fine example of everything you DON’T want your child to act like. And the other kids/animals let her boss them around like she’s a real Princess! Shouldn’t children’s programs show children solutions to life’s crappy situations . . . like bossy, bratty friends?

Good music though. Kira loves the songs and dances along. She’s not really watching these shows yet, but I have them on for background noise and she sometimes picks up on a scene or two.
