I am, at this early stage of parenting, fairly committed to the idea that we will not use TV as a babysitter.
But today, M peacefully watched the David Tennant and Patrick Stewart Hamlet for 25 minutes. And she was actually watching it, not just tolerating it being on.
So I'm rethinking things. Maybe I will only use world-class Shakespearean actors who have anchored their own sci-fi shows as babysitters. (And William Shatner doesn't count; I wouldn't trust him to pay proper attention).
Also, you should all watch it; it's available free on pbs.org, and it's really neat.
