S is a huge
Doodlebops fan. He will listen to the cd over and over again and can sing roughly 75% of the lyrics on his own without the cd. He'd rather stay home and watch the show on CBC than go somewhere fun like
Science World. When he's playing with his cars he'll incorporate the Doodlebop characters into his play ("Rooney's driving this car." "This one is for Dee Dee."). At mealtime he will ask what the Doodlebops or supporting characters are eating. He breakdances like Moe.
I don't fully understand his fascination with the Doodlebops. I understand the catchy pop tunes (some of them are actually well crafted) and the life lessons of the shows. But have you seen them? They are basically clown-like characters that would have scared me as a child. It's funny that he adores them so much considering he is frightened by a lot of other things he sees on dvd's or children's programs.
