THE JOHNSON's STORY: Wisdom Wednesday: The boob tube :)

As the new year begins I have decided that every Wednesday I will share some sort of wisdom from us to you. So here is the first one:

I remember growing up watching shows with my mom...
Those shows were
1) Family Fued

2) Dallas

3) Star Search

4)Dynasty

5) The Cosby Show

6) Family Ties

Now that my children are older, they control the remote when my husband is not there. The shows today are so different than they use to be. During our Christmas Break several adults were talking about how shows have changed over the years. We began this conversation with MTV as it is known now. But there was a day when it was known as Music Television. Yes and ALL they played was Music Videos, now they don't play videos at all. The only thing you can find on MTV is some raunchy reality shows (EX: Jersey Shore). The other night the kids and I were watching Family Fued together and it really HIT me how everything has changed. As we were watching family fued the category was things Tarzan may do before bathing. The answers given were so vulgur and the words used in the answers for this question and others were so embarrassing. Here Adam and I sit watching this show with the kids and just look at each other and laugh when one of the answers pop up and it is " VA-JAY-JAY" Really!!!!! Do I need to explain this to my 8 year old over dinner. I wanted to share with you some of the shows that we love and you can be judgemental over some but I do think that they are decent for your family to watch ( considering the options ).

1) Duck Dynasty
How can you argue with watching a show that ends every episode with a family dinner and prayer!

2) Once Upon A Time
We love the fact that ABC combined a fairy tale and a prime time show with magic, love and evil.

3) Dance Moms
Since the girls are so wrapped up into dancing how could we not watch this one. We sit in amazement at the cruelty of the parents involved and Thank God that we don't have that where we take dance.

4) Toddler and Tiaras
With two girls the pageant world lights up there eyes. The crowns and glitz and makeup and the whole 9 yards of the production of a pageant are so entertaining to little girls. We may be criticzed for this one but we enjoy this show!

5) Honey Boo Boo
Yes I admit it. My Family Watches Honey Boo Boo. We fell in love with her when she premiered on Toddlers and Tiaras. We were so excited when we found out she was getting her own show. We tuned in and found out the little girl was actually from Macon, GA not far from us and it sucked us right in. The craziness and all is like a huge magnet keeping us glued to our TV.
