One of the problems of becoming a father in his late forties that he DIDN'T expect was watching television with his pre-schooler: "Daddy, can we watch Barney?" "Sure! The Andy Griffith Show is on in a few minutes!" "No Daddy, the purple dinosaur." "Dino? I LOVE The Flinstones..."

In this sequel – kind of – to his memoir Abby's Road, the Long and Winding Road to Adoption and How Facebook, Aquaman and Theodore Roosevelt Helped, Michael Curry reviews the television shows his now-preschool daughter has available. It has been forty years since Michael watched children's television and much has changed ... and much has stayed the same.
Told with gentle (and sometimes not so gentle, humor) Michael reviews and comments on over 100 children's shows aimed at ages 0-5 from the 1960s to the present!
Meet some familiar friends – from Oscar the Grouch to Thomas the Tank Engine – and meet some new ones whose adventures you might be missing!
Whether you are in your 20s or in your 50s or anywhere in between, you may find yourself saying, "I remember that show when I was that age!" or "If I was a toddler I would love this!"
Let's see what the kids are watching!
