Enjoying the kid shows more than the kids? My husband and I recently fell in love with My Little Pony and Phineas and Ferb a few years back. Before this we always watch Pokemon, Sailor Moon, The Little Mermaid (TV Show), Leilo and Stich (TV Show), and other of the older Cartoon Network and Disney animated shows. I remember watching Pokemon on our honeymoon even! My husband and I found that there is a large community online for 20+ year olds who love My Little Pony and few have kids! I was wondering if anyone else noticed this in there home?

What can I do next?

I love Spongebob and Phineas and Ferb! In fact just a few nights ago I wasn't able to sleep at 3 a.m., luckily Phineas and Ferb were on. I've noticed myself also singing along to the Disney songs in the car long after they've been dropped off too. What to do when they grow out of all this! lol

I've gotten so into an episode or two of Spongebob and Phineas and Ferb that I wouldn't let my kids change the channel until the end. :)

I love how excited my daughter gets for certain shows but as far as me watching them, absolutely not - the shows for her on her TV channel(s) drive me freakin bonkers

My husband used to come home from work and turn on 'The Sopranos'.

Now, he comes home to watch 'iCarly'.

We've often caught ourselves watching iCarly after the kids have gone to bed... then not cared enough to miss the ending, and left it on ;)

Funny you mentioned your honeymoon, the day after we got married we spent the day in our hotel bed, ordered room service breakfast fit for a king, and watched the 3 Shrek movies, LOL!!

my husband recently told methat him and many of the guys he works with age 20 to 30 mostly enjoy my little pony as well. they even have a text thread just about the show. my husband loves cartoons but he now mostly watches japanamation, the old shows like transformers (old cartoon), she-ra, he-man, and the new shows like family guy, the cleveland show and the like. i like them ok but not enough to choose to watch them. i will watch a bit of a show if it's on but usually go in another room anddo something else.

My husband is always telling people that our son likes Phineas and Ferb. Um, no, my son is not quite 3. He doesn't get it yet. It's just my husbands excuse to watch it.

My husband likes Phineas and Ferb (truth be told, so do I). And I have found myself on more than one occasion watching Good Luck Charlie ( I love the mom on that show). Our daughter is only 19 months old, so there really is no reason for us to be watching either.....LOL!!

Nope.

I enjoy Spongebob with the kids and sometimes if the mood is right - Code name kids next door...

but overall...nope. I don't find Bugs Bunny as funny as I did when I was a kid either...

I love Shaun the Sheep - the hubs and I were watching it way before our 2-year-old could grasp any of it. We also like Wallace and Grommit. :) Very cute. But Shaun is the best.

It seems like a lot of the shows have references to keep the adults entertained as well as the kids. Even Sesame Street is guilty of doing this. A lot of their spoofs are proof.

Phineas and Ferb is by far one of the most entertaining shows. Love Dr. Doofenschmirtz!

My daughter just turned 6 and my son is almost 4. It used to be that they loved Backyardigans and could "convince" me to watch it with them. It took a lot to convince me (note the sarcasm....I love that show). My daughter loves iCarly and Victorious. I find myself turning it on for them and watching it. Then getting upset if they decide they want to watch something else.

Scooby Doo is another that my children have found that I love.

Great question btw. Now I don't feel like the lone ranger enjoying the kids shows.

i'm totally addicted to super why, as is my daughter. my son laughs hysterically at tom and jerry - never seen him laugh so hard, ever. we also love dinosaur train. considering i thought i'd never let my kids watch much tv, i find myself struggling to tear myself away when it's time to turn off the cartoons. LOL.

My husband and I are always finding ourselves watching our son's kid shows even though he is running around playing with everything and not watching his own show lol. Like The Cat In The Hat is great. I think we like it because the voice of the Cat is Martin Short and he is a pretty funny guy. So we laugh because we picture Martin Short when we watch the show.

I miss "Wishbone," the old PBS series where the clever terrier dog has literary adventures. I watched it way back before I had my child. I'd come home from work before my husband got home and watch it. I always said, "I can't wait for my someday kid to watch this with me." Now it's no longer on and hasn't been for years....We finally found videos of it and our daughter likes it but I'm the one who gets all excited about locating any new videos of this hard-to-find show!

Although I haven't watched them in a while (we gave away the videos after the kids grew out of them), I love the Veggie Tales shows. They also throw things in that parents will get on a completely different level than the kids to.
