Violent, yeah, but the overall message of Girl Power makes up for it!
TV: Phineas and Ferb
I rate this titleonand give it- My highlights are:
- Educational
Even the adults in our house can stand this show!
Education - while P&F's schemes are always over the top, they lead to discussion of what is and is not possible in real life, as opposed to cartoons. Messages - no matter how exasperated C ...
TV: iCarly
I rate this titleonand give itMy concerns are:- Excessive consumerism
- My highlights are:
Good for 8 and up in general, 6 if your kid is socially advanced
Nickelodeon's mostly harmless tween show. For my 6yo, who likes everything from Beethoven to Oingo Boingo, it's pretty light stuff. Characters are snarky with each other, but always make up ...

DVD: Happy Feet
I rate this titleonand give itReally really good... but a little long
My partner and I took our girls - 6 and 4 - to see this at a morning matinee. Aside from the length (the four-year-old got a little bored at one point) we all four had a blast. By the end we were ...

Is Jon & Kate Still OK for Kids?
Your Comments:My 6yo already watched the season premiere with me. SHe was concerned that Kate seemed sad, and worked out for herself that "Kate thought Jon wanted to marry someone else". Since we are a divroced and remarried family, she understands that this happens, but her own spin is pretty innocent.
