"with everyone else who's managed to Klingon to a sense of proportion"?

I'm puzzled when people are shocked that I've never read an Harry Potter books, and adults who follow the whole 'Twilight' series sort of make me cringe. My mother's read all of them, and she's 59.

Nice Harry Potter reference. The HP series aims exactly at this - attracting grown-ups.

Wonder what he thinks of middle aged single virgin men watching My Little Pony...

@jungsbodyguard Yeah that happened one time and it seems to be the episode that everyone judges the show on. Every show has hit and miss episodes. I agree that particular episode was a definite miss but that was when the show was just starting out. The rest of it is good. Possibly not child friendly younger than say 8 but above that I'd be comfortable letting my kids watch it for sure! It's quite good. I'd recommend not being so quick to judge and watching a little further in...

@TheCircusSprite I haven't seen much of torchwood. But the one episode I do remember was an alien who had to have sex with human males to feed off their energy, when they ejaculated. Besides being like the plot of a cheesy porn film (which is the reason I haven't watched it since), that doesn't seem to be very kid-friendly. Unless the kids are teenage boys, in which case they did a good job.

Torchwood Is An Adult Program That Is Also Accessible To Children...

How good would it be if David caught the golden snitch at 1:41 ...?
Kids' television can be escapism for adults; it's often wonderfully imaginative, features simple stories, entertaining visuals and side-steps a lot of the drama of adulthood. The nostalgia value can't be overlooked either; it's like flicking through an old diary or photo album sometimes - that lovely remembered sense of affection for a universe you'd forgotten. I prefer the trajectory society is going when there is less stigma attached to this kind of childish indulgence.

Someone take the black and white honeypot idea and run with it, that sounds awesome. Perhaps a red blood splatter on the side to bring the whole dramatic theme together?
