Livin_the_MASS Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 [quote name='popestpiusx' date='Mar 23 2004, 08:10 PM'] I say kill your TV. But if you can't, then restrict usage to movies. For the record, I let my kids watch veggie tales, but as rare treat not everyday entertainment. Furthermore, during Lent and Advent the TV gets put in the closet. TV is OK I think if it is used rarely. But extremely dangerous if used all the time. I think it smells of elderberries people brains right out their heads.

kujo Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I think Veggie Tales are good for our kids. They give have the kid-factor (dancing, talking, singing vegetables) without the croutons (gay animals, or weird adults being around the children). My only concern is whether the show makes kid not want to eat their vegetable friends... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen Jonah? That was some pretty funny stuff, actually. I took my godson to see it but I secretly wanted to see it myself and he was just my cover....can't have a big hairy dude in a Jesus t-shirt walkin' into the movie theater on a Saturday by himself and think people aren't going to be whispering!

There is jokes that only adults would understand. It has the kid factor that makes it cute but I don't think kids would understand: "Desperado! You better come to you senses!" or the theme behind the episode "The Sumo of the Opera." (Rocky and the Karate Kid). That is the episode too that has the Silly Songs where Larry is a teacher and he sings about homophones. I like Veggie Tales can you tell? lol They do not present a specific Catholic message. However, I think that their messages are ones that still need to be taught whether your Jewis, Catholic or Protestant. Virtues such as perseverence and charity, prayer, unselfish behavior. et. al.

Autumn Dusk Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I've often felt that Veggie Tales are way too simplistic even for youngish children, (4-7) especially when it comes to moral decisions. It feeds the "don't do that its naughty and trouble will happen IMMEDIATELY" message which, in the end stops kids from developing a good conscience. (we don't do bad things becuase it has consequences, now and later). God also is presented in a very emotional way. However, it does a good job for social/friendship issues.

[/quote] APA format helps my laziness I agree with you AD that it approaches God in an emotional way but I don't think that it is too simplistic. I hope that parents use it exclusively for the development of their children's conscience but also allow them to make mistakes and decisions in which they learn.
