You want scary kids' TV? In The Night Garden.
Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!! The first, unexpected appearance of that Gumby-like thing actually made me yip.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

[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.

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

Shir, those lectures look absolutely fascinating. You must come back and report on them.

I warned you. Bloody terrifying. How kids can watch that at bedtime is beyond me.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
In the Night Garden

It is pouring rain today so our plan to wander around Newport is out, but it is still nice to be here. We may go to a movie later.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hil, didn't mean to sound like I was questioning your doc. I mostly meant Beighton vs. Brighton, which it sounds like he's aware of. I know that a lot of people think HMS is basically indistinguishable from EDS III.
Watching SGU. Too soon to pass judgment. I have heard vague things about some racefail. KBD's early guess is that they're going for a BSG feel.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Weekly update: I now have a big honking satellite dish in my back yard, aimed at China. We can receive about 35 TV channels and over 100 radio stations. This marks the culmination of a saga lasting months, and was installed just in time (quite literally, as in the same morning) for Wallybee's parents to watch the PRC's 60th anniversary celebrations. Wallybee's parents, it should be noted, are quite awesome. This should be a great help in them feeling more at home here.

Yeah, there's never a consensus on whether In The Night Garden is freakishly, terrifyingly disturbing, or the best thing ever. (Obviously anyone who can recognise PURE EVIL understands that it's the former.)
billytea ~ TV from China! Cool.

In my family we recognise that the two are not incompatible, and indeed may well be strongly correlated.

It really is. We can get kids' channels too, which may be of interest to Ryan in a few years' time. (Assuming he has a break in his schedule of watching In The Night Garden with his eyelids propped open.)
