Reasons why I need a children's television programming intervention

Welcome to any new readers via Problogger! Well, there are a myriad of reasons, but the Top Five are: When the Evilness that is Elmo is starting to win my loyalty over from my fuzzy-nihilist friend, Oscar the Grouch. There's something about that red puppet's falsetto that's almost...beguiling. As 'beguiling' as a dentist's drill in the ear, maybe. I think that dancing along with the synchronised-group actions (think Hi-5) counts as my exercise of the day. I can confidently place the year Play School was made simply by looking at Justine's hair colour and her pregnant (or not) shape. It seems other people need interventions too: it's scandalous how many people turn up here via Google, searching for Kellie and Nathan gossip. Get over it people. I have! And the very top reason: when one (me!) becomes completely outraged when she discovers the melody from the "Time Warp" (Rocky Horror) has been changed to the "Monster Stomp" on Play School. Sure, its a great melody but c'mon the lines got to be drawn somewhere! Soon we'll be seeing Little Ted swanning around in fishnets! Someone, please check me into rehab. Give me a shot of CSI or Lost or Heroes - STAT! Written for this.
