~8-31-04~ So I am obsessed with maisy!!!

ok, soi had to serch the net about maisy, and i found on THIS site the following:

Now, Noggin, on the other hand, is made up mostly of shows that come from the UK, and they are far more educational and helpful to a mom than anything on Nick Jr. JJ's favorite on that channel is Maisy. It's a crudely animated cartoon about a mouse and her friends. And they just do... stuff all day long. They play and eat, and that's about all, but it's all good. Maisy is sweet and helpful and generous and happy, and also very nurturing for a preschool-aged mouse. She's filled with selfless kindness. Her friends are a crocodile, a chicken, and a squirrel. Today's episode was a good example of why I like this show: Cyril the Squirrel came over to Maisy's house to play, and when he got there, he drank some water. They went to play in the sandbox, and after a little while, he had to pee, but he didn't want to go to the toilet, so he kept holding it and holding it. And then he peed his pants. So Maisy took him inside without a waver in her smile, gave him a pair of pants to wear, and washed his pants for him. It's great, because the show doesn't even mention any kind of a lesson or moral. The narrator didn't ever say, Now, see, Cyril, if you'd gone to the potty, you wouldn't have peed your pants. They just tell the little story. And I can say to JJ, Hey, see that? Cyril didn't want to use the potty and what happened? And since we're having a problem with the potty training right now, JJ knows what I'm talking about.
I only have one problem with Maisy. The show, I mean. See, the characters don't talk. There's a narrator who talks to the characters, and describes everything that's going on. The characters don't say words, they speak in a strange gibberish that's usually going on underneath the narrator's voice. It's certainly sounds weird, but it's not too bad overall. Except for Charley the Crocodile. His voice is just downright creepy. He's constantly laughing and braying. The best way I can come up with to describe his voice is to compare it to that of a 40 year old deviant on speed. Seriously. Ma has mentioned, too, that Charley's voice flips her out. I'd put the tv on mute, but then JJ couldn't hear the narrator.

so, she is kind of saying it is cute, but she is also kind of making my point that is is freaky!!!!

Full Review
I thought I had never seen a show more horrid than the Teletubbies. With their grunts and occasional words and the nonsensical story lines, I thought of it as potato chips for the brain. I thought, no children's show could possibly get any worse than this. Well, apparently I was wrong. I have a one year old son, who thankfully has zero interest in this festival of idiocy. First of all, none of the characters speak. They communicate with a series of grunts and babbles that only a person who has dropped quite a bit of acid could possibly understand. To remedy this, the show is narrated. The narrator is quite good, with a clear speaking voice and lots of inflection that is appropriate to the story. He'd be a good story teller if it weren't for Maisy, the rodent, blathering on with her inane drivel. For example, one show has Maisy looking at different animals. Here is how that debacle went (more or less): Narrator: "Oh Maisy! That's a pig! Can you make sounds like the pig makes? Maisy: "uh...uh...uh...uh" Narrator: "That's right! Very good! Maisy, there's a horse. Can you make sounds like the horse makes?" Maisy: "uh...uh...uh...uh" Narrator: "Wonderful! Now here's an elephant. Can you makes sounds like an elephant?" Maisy: "uh...uh...uh...uh" Not only will the senseless blabbering get on your last nerve, causing you to put on your husband's steel toe construction boots and proceed to smash your foot right through the television set, clear out the broken glass, turn it on it's side & use it as a nifty planter, it....oh, wait, I think I've been watching too much Trading Spaces. Anyway, this show is also horribly drawn. The characters are one step above stick figures, with a few basic colors used. Also, they all seem to have the same glazed over look, as if they've suffered one head injury too many. And I agree with one of the other reviewers, that the Alligator looks downright frightening. She (?) is extremely creepy, and always seems to be leering, like at any minute she will show up in your bedroom late at night along with the boogey man and forever ruin your ability to sleep with both eyes closed. Although the target age for this show is kids under 3 or 4, I would never let my child watch this while he is learning to speak. I can't imagine how toddlers would learn anything from "bluh uh ma ah uh uh". Now that I think about it, maybe Maisy is actually from the Zulu Umbu tribe on the remote island of Shibu Ina. Maybe she really is speaking a language, the near extinct tribal language of her ancestors, thus preserving a centuries old way of life. Maybe the Maisy show is actually bi-lingual and is teaching our children not only concepts of sharing, painting a house, and taking a bath, but also how to speak in Mombi Batumba. Mmmm.....maybe the laundry will be done when I get home. Keep dreaming, sister.

huh....maybe that is why clay's "speaks" the foreign language he does instead of english!!

Also with this babbling, I find it to be disturbing at times, I wouldn't be surprised if kids found Charlie The Crocodile to be disturbing. He talks well... Like he's a psycho killer, he did disturb me quite a bit with his stupid voice. If I was a young lad, I'd switch the channel as fast as I could.

one last thing........who the hell keeps searching for "paige davis's nipple"????? that search keeps appearing and it brings them to my site! it was weird the first time, but it has appeared multiple times now. what the hell?!
