Apparently we are behind the times. The boys don't watch a lot of television so we really aren't aware when new shows come on. The boys watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Bob the Builder, but I just DVR them and we watch them at our convenience. So, when my friend, Sandra, mentioned the Imagination Movers on her blog not too long ago I paid attention. She has two boys who are very close in age to mine. And, most importantly, she has excellent taste in music. I knew that if she recommended something it couldn't be too annoying. So I finally remembered to DVR it this week and Mark has been asking to watch it non-stop. It's definitely his new favorite. Luke even seems to like it. There's lots of singing and they are always solving problems. I also like that the guys aren't portrayed in a wimpy way like a lot of kids shows. If you have preschoolers I'd definitely check it out one morning on Playhouse Disney.
I have always wondered one thing though. Do guys like these dream of being a children's band? Or does it just sort of happen? Or maybe they just see it as the best way to make some good money? Seriously though. Do you think as 15 year old musicians they thought they'd be performing to 4 year olds in blue jumpsuits? It must pay well or They Might Be Giants and Barenaked Ladies wouldn't have made the leap to this genre too, I guess. What do you think?

I wonder if they never made it big and so this is what they had to fall back on. But I bet they still aren't doing it for free! But then again, you never know what people are called to do! My husband is a children's minister! So he does lots of playing!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I wonder this kind of thing all the time when I see kids' shows. You see some actor looking like a total dork, and you think, wow, that guy is never going to have a serious role EVER. But maybe that is what he always wanted? Who knows!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your boys like them too! We are eagerly waiting for them to release DVDs since we don't have cable anymore!
