Since having kids I feel I'm pretty much an expert on Dora the Explorer. Having spent years listening and watching her. Here are a couple of thoughts that I had about her.
-The song....it goes Dora, Dora, Dora the Explorer. This is not a ryhme. It should, like all kid songs ryhme. If it followed the protocol for kid show intro it would ryhme. Therefore making it sound like this: Dora, Dora, Dora, the Explora. Thus making it incorrect/slang grammer that does not to be taught to our younger generations.
-The map song...I'm a Map, I'm a Map, I'm a Map, I'm a Map, I'M A MAP! This was made up at the last second by a gingle creator who was too lazy to put some time and thought into it. It is redundant, and highly annoying which helps it ranking as a kid song. However from my point of view there was absolutely no creative ingenuity put into this portion of the Map character.
That is all for now...

Dora is banned from our household. Too freaking annoying. Any kids show where they shriek when they talk is not welcome here. We also don't allow "Sid the Science Kid" because one of Sid's friends is really loud and obnoxious.
My under the radar recommendation for a kids show: "Shaun the Sheep." Made by the same people as "Wallace and Grommit." But here's the thing: NO DIALOGUE!!! No talking whatsoever. It's pretty entertaining actually. Both our kids love it and it doesn't overpower the room.

DVR used to be a collection of cool people. I assume that is before some of us got married and had rug-rats. My wife said that it is pretty sad that we have sunk to the new low of having nothing better to talk about than Dora the Explora... |
