Where’s The Hair

One of the shows my youngest son really enjoys is Caillou. It’s a ncie show. It features nice, friendly characters and it always has a storyline. But they have never explained why Caillou is bald. Don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t matter to me that he’s bald. Having a son with alopecia areata I actually [...]

They show drinking and smoking regularly.  I find it very offensive because they use the word retarded inappropriately. Do you let your [...]

Who remembers the Smurfs?

I sure do. I used to watch The Smurfs every weekend. I’m one of those people that like the “nicer” cartoons. There are many cartoons I dislike but there are a few that I think are so bad and so offensive I can actually say I hate them and have banned them in my house [...]
