Oh, No! No Max & Ruby!!

Many of you other parents out there have probably already gone through this with your little ones, but I am still dealing with the loss of prized shows.

We continue to deal with PBS' "Beg-for-Money-Weeks," when they abbreviate Gracie's favorite shows and put them on 15-30 minutes earlier than scheduled to have enough time to ask for more funding. But, at least it is over in a week. We are even dealing with how the networks cater to the big kids (who will ask mom and dad to buy the products on the commercials) on holidays and summers by stopping the toddler programs several hours earlier than usual. But, now we have completely lost another of Gracie's favorite shows all together.

Several months ago, PBS re-did their scheduling and mixed everything up. We got used to Clifford coming on in the afternoons, but Gracie was very upset that Teletubbies had been completely removed. Now, Nick Jr. has sacrificed "Max & Ruby," one of the cutest shows ever and Gracie's new favorite!

Gracie doesn't watch that much TV. I have really tried to cut back. But, I can't deprive her of her favorites: Barney, Clifford and Max & Ruby.

I guess its a good thing that last weekend we noticed that there are "Max & Ruby" VHS videos at Wal Mart for $6.
