[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

“Not dead yet!”

I'd have very stunted children.

No you wouldn't. Trust me.

Our flirtation with Wiggles was fairly brief, but compared to some of the other children's fare out there, it's relatively harmless. What was interesting was that the original Yellow Wiggle, Greg, is apparently an amazing cabaret singer. He did a few dates in the U.S. before he was diagnosed with the heart ailment that ultimately caused him to leave the Wiggles.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

What the heck are Wiggles?

Zenkitty is obviously not the parent of a toddler or preschooler.

Trust my rage

The Wiggles are an Australian singing group aimed at young kids. Both my kids love their stuff and will dance around for 30+ minutes. This makes me *love* the Wiggles, especially the hot, Blue Wiggle-Anthony? They also have a TV show and toys and I think they do concerts too.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Well, as long as it's not the Red Wiggle. Of course, this leaves open the question of whether we're talking about Original Yellow Wiggle or New and Improved Yellow Wiggle.

I had to look it up. New Yellow Wiggle.

So Wiggles are like Teletubbies, but less scary to grown-ups. (I saw the Teletubbies once. It was Uncanny Valley territory for me.)

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

You want scary kids' TV? In The Night Garden. The Girl had a traumatic encounter with an electronic singing version of Iggle Piggle, and now screams and runs out of the room if this is on TV. I'm just slightly nervous of the giant inflatable shapes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm sorry, but there is no British children's television show more terrifying than the Tweenies. NONE.
