Jay Jay the Jet Plane
Written on June 22, 2006 by Kevin.
*Notice* I understand that some people do not feel it is right to have a child in front of a television all day. My wife and I do not in any way let the TV babysit Rylan. If you are against children watching television, find another post of mine to read.
In the past week or so, Rylan has begun noticing things on television. Jay Jay the Jet Plane is his new best friend it seems. My wife has first hand experience with Rylan stopping in his tracks to watch the show. This is not normal for Rylan as normally he would just disregard the television being on. What he enjoys about it is anyone's guess.
I imagine that many parents attempt to keep their children away from toys and television shows that are simply annoying. My wife and I have discussed not introducing Elmo into the picture as well as some other characters. Jay Jay was never mentioned but now it seems Rylan is hooked. Everyday, he will sit patiently while the show is on.
We were hoping to get Rylan introduced to the Baby Einstein movie series but he doesn't seem to keep entertained by them. A large collection of old classic cartoons and other children DVDs have also been purchased that for the time being, are not what Rylan is interested in.
Does anyone have any opinions on Jay Jay the Jet Plane?
I think Jay Jay the Jet Plane is a good cartoon. I'm not against letting a child watch occasional cartoons. I like the educational ones. Like Sesame Street & Barney & Dora the Explorer. I really think you & your wife should rethink about letting Rylan watch Elmo. He may be annoying to you but cute and funny to him. In fact, I think Sesame Street is how my first son learned the alphabet. I think the most stupidest cartoon that I sat down to watch with my son once and never let him watch again was Teletubbies. To me, that is mindless. What do you think?

There is no doubt that Teletubbies is pure junk. I am a firm believer in treating a child like a person. Talking to them in beeps and blips is not doing that.
Sesame Street is what I was grown up on like nearly everyone else and I would not have a trouble with Rylan watching it. I think my main thing with Elmo are his numerous toys. Just something about them that I don't care for.
