Dumb Dora the Explora may be everything that is wrong with society. And her sidekick Diego - he's another issue.
Those shows - we made it almost 3 years without introducing the dynamic duo into our home and I can't even tell you how they found their way onto our television set and into my 2 year olds mind. One minute we're watching Super Why!, then Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and then Dora. Obviously, it's my fault but I cannot remember how it happened.
But, it did.
And last night, I bought the kid a Diego shirt. With long sleeves. He may be in love with it.
What is the world coming to?
There are many, many reasons I don't like these two shows, but I think the biggest reason is...
they suck!
seriously.
How come none of the animals even resemble real animals at all - not even close.
Why can some animals talk, but others only make their native animal sound.
Who decided which animals can only speak Spanish, while others are English speakers and others are bilingual?
Does anyone have a kid that actually talks back to the dumb cartoon that is waiting for a response? Mine doesn't -he just stares.
Why does Dora yell?
If swiper "swipes" stuff - then how come he doesn't actually steal it - he just throws it somewhere and Dora has to find it?
If Diego is an animal rescuer in a jungle - somewhere maybe in South America - then why does he just swing on his vine and show up in Antarctica with the polar bears or under the ocean with a whale shark?
Re-runs....why!!!!! Aren't there literally years of these shows? Then why are the same episodes on two days in a row? In our house, we're smart enough to realize that it's the same episode over and over again.
At least then - we're also smart enough to change the channel.
