I’m babysitting a child with limited mobility this weekend. That means a lot of television as entertainment. That means a lot–an awful lot–of theme song over and over and over again. Like this one.
At least I have one show she likes that has a decent theme song.
Then I got smart and gave her a choice between movies. Ah, a respite.
Stephanie Zvan is one of the hosts for the Minnesota Atheists' radio show and podcast, Atheists Talk. She serves on the board of Secular Woman. She speaks on science and skepticism in a number of venues, including science fiction and fantasy conventions.
Stephanie has been called a science blogger and a sex blogger, but if it means she has to choose just one thing to be or blog about, she's decided she's never going to grow up. In addition to science and sex and the science of sex, you'll find quite a bit of politics here, some economics, a regular short fiction feature, and the occasional bit of concentrated weird.
Oh, and arguments. She sometimes indulges in those as well. But I'm sure everything will be just fine. Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.
The Danger Mouse signature tune was the best part of the cartoon for me, alas! Was never a fan of DM getting his orders from an establishment blimp like the chief and continually saying, “hush, Penfold!”. Sacrilege, I know.
jon, I’m going to take a moment from the diaper changes, medications, feedings, and reading Frank Baum fairy tales to say: don’t do that. If it’s meant to be funny, well, it’s not. If it’s meant as a judgment on letting the kid watch a bunch of TV, you don’t have the information you need.
Wait, which one do you like? Personally I’m fond of the DangerMouse theme. Maybe because I get nostalgic over DM, what.
I think introducing a child to Batman Beyond proves you are an EXCELLENT babysitter.

Oh man, I LOVED Danger Mouse as a kid.
I hear morphine is also good if you don not want to interact personally.
