Do you let your kids watch ...

My daughter and I watch spongebob too. It's actually a funny cartoon. His innocence and curiousity is what makes it interesting. Some lines are what happens in everyday living. If you wonder why kids love spongebob you should watch yo gabba gabba, the upside down show, and some shows in disney channel. Oh boy!! They're really weird. Freak shows. LOL Anyways, you may let your child watch NOGGIN channel. It's actually like a day care school only in television.

I think that it is a really funny cartoon, my kids love it. I do not watch it much but when it is on it really makes me chuckle. I am not sure what makes it so popular it is just one of those programmes that everyone seems to love.

An hour of TV a day is fine for a kid. Sponge Bob is funny and has good lessons (be a good friend, don't cheat). I think he reminds them of themselves only in a more grown up version. How old is Spongebob, anyway? I don't have kids yet, but Spongebob along with Sesame Street, Little Bill and so on will be things it's only for them to watch when I do/

I personally do not like Spongebob. I have a 2 year old and 11 month old in our house. However we are lucky to get a break with them watching TV! LOL! If we can get them to watch even 10 minutes of anything, the 11 month old seems to really like the Wiggles. Our 2 year old likes Doodlebops and I think these are way better for younger kids. Not to mention there are alot of other good shows for little ones. I do realize thou every family is different.

Hello ebsharer! I am a watcher of spongebob squarepants and honestly, I love it. In your questions, I will answer it one by one. What is it about the show that kids like so much? I think the kids like it so much because of the scenes. It's very colorful and you know, kids love colorful things and it would really attract them. Aside from it's being attractiveness, spongebob is very funny. I even enjoyed it even if I am an adult, how much more the kids. Do you think its a good show for kids to watch? I don't see any reason why the kids can't watch it. They can learn many lessons there especially about friendship and loyalty. What is your overall opinion of the show - as a parent? I am not a parent yet, so I really can't answer it.

My two youngest sons are 9 and 11 and they both still love to watch this show. I know we have saw every episode at least 20 times by now being they have been watching it since they were 4 and 5 years old. I normally do not pay that much attention to the cartoons and kid shows they watch but I have watched Spongebob a few times. I dont think its harmful for them to watch but i dont see anything about it thats helping them either? Its really just silly show.

Truthfully, I think there are much better shows for kids to be watching. Only two years old, you say? Sponge Bob is aimed at the 6-12 year old age bracket anyhow. I am sure she is not really understanding much of what she is watching. An hour a day? Sorry Eb, what a waste of her time and yours! My daughter does not allow Sponge Bob in her house. She won't even allow me to buy clothes or anything with Sponge Bob on them. I can't really blame her, the few episodes I have watched have been rather rude and crude. Two years old huh? My 2 year old granddaughter LIVES for Dora the Explorer, Diego, Sesame Street, shows that actually attempt to teach her something abput life....I have a Spnge bov VCR tape hidden away. It is a Christmas episode, I have let the older grandsons watch it from time to time...even they have other shows they'd rather be watching as well!

My son likes watching it because it's funny - it makes him laugh a lot. He doesn't watch it often though. I do sometimes sit down with him and watch it too.

My daugther use to watch spongebob when she was younger and now my daycare kids love it. YOu must pay much more attention than I do because after all these years of watching it, I never realized it was 11 minute episodes. I see no harm in the kids watching it. It is a cute show. I like to sit and watch it every once in a while with them.

I think the most offensive part of the show is that darn voice and laugh. It used to just absolutely grate on me. I sat down and watched some of the shows. I was surprised to find I could sit through one and be mildly entertained too. I don't think it's a bad show. I will be interested in the opinions of why this is such a popular show though. Sponge Bob is a like-able guy I guess.

My kids like Spongebob. My 8 year old likes it better than my almost 2 year old though. She is obsessed with DORA. She acts the same way about DORA that your daughter does with Spongebob.

I thinks it's a cut show. You are so right to limit her. She needs to use her imagination and also get some exercise. She can't get either of those sitting in front of the TV watching Sponge Bob!

Hello ebsharer Not just your kid, sometimes I watch Spongebob too [shame] For me, like a good entertain and a good story. We can learn a good from they, and movie is a good way for kid to learn a good things. Because kids brain is just like a sponge, so we have too choose the good movie, so they can be good in the future. God bless you and thank you *pa_lom4
