h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

My thoughts exactly. Wilma, the princess. We need a smiley for a tiara and a scepter.

eeps!

Wilma Neanderthal in a tiara?? You two haven't seen Shrek, have you?

I loved Shrek. I usually don't like kids movies that much, but Shrek is

Shrek is super . Any more it seems I like some of the so-called kids' movies better than the violent adult fare.

I have seen everything on offer (screening for kids) and it is truly Mind you, I am more of the 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks', 'King and I' and 'Sound of Music' fan base than anyhting else - and yes, I have subjected my children to all of them my daughter's favourite "old times" movie is 'Breakfast in Tiffany' and my son has recently been exposed to some '80s programmes (UK centric but I got him 'The Young Ones' and 'Blackadder')

I do try.

I love some of the old musicals, but since Lord C. is not a musical fan, I tend to watch them in the middle of the night when I'm having a bit of insomnia. He indulges me in a lot of TV that he doesn't care for so I don't dare ask him to watch musicals too.

In our household, the remote is almost always with my son so I leave him and his dad to fight over it and click away on here. I don't really like to watch TV unless it is a specific pogramme that I plan for. I begrudge the time spent in front of it and can't sit still for long enough (driving everyone crazy when they are trying to watch something ). I often suddenly remember that I have to take something out of the freezer or put something in the washing machine. Then I get sidetracked.

In the States, I used to watch PBS and here I watch very little TV. I have so far been successful in my boycott of cable (let's see how much longer I will be able to do that for...) On the other hand, dvds and videos abound. I feel it gives better control over viewing choice for the children.
