[...] I bash kids’ shows regularly and frequently attack religiosity. It’s easy for me to do that, since I don’t have any kids of my own. I can sit on my butt and theorize, and I can talk endlessly about what I’d support or reject in my own kids, if I had any. I thrash McDonald’s, I smoke NBB, I deride and belittle fundamentalism.

Overall, the tone of comments here has remained fairly respectful and I appreciate that; apart from about a half dozen one-liners talking about cuuuuuuute this and gr8 that, I haven’t had to use too much restraint.

However, this thread is played out. Nothing new is being posted; it’s mostly broadside-swapping along the lines of “Uh huh!” and “Nuh uh!” now.

So thanks for writing, everyone; I’m gonna lock out this post for further comments. I think 104 is enough.

Mike, I’ll be glad to see your NBB paper if you ever get around to writing it. Just look for an open thread sometime here or toss up a note and mention it in passing. (I’m keeping the email from being too obvious right now because I have no love of spam, but it is out there for those who have some decent sleuthing skills.)

Ally, I don’t think you made anyone miserable.

Stephen, I’m glad you decided I’m not a total asshat. Thanks. And FTR, I’m 39.

Danielle, we might well agree on many things — and disagree on others. Feel free to come back and check on me from time to time and, if I get out of line, flog me a litte. I need that.

DayTripper, keeping it measured and focused is never easy. You’ve straddled that line well.

Brittany, thanks for letting me soapbox a little.

Oh, and Jordyn: I was impressed by your tone; you admitted to having an extreme slant but still kept it civil, and you were able to post a reasoned response even though you felt, as you put it, enraged. That’s impressive, and a trait I think many could benefit from learning — not the least the people who are trying (and failing) to run the world you’re eventually going to be stuck with. Well done.

Thanks, all, and tune in from time to time to see what other wrongheaded or bad ideas I get. If you want to continue to tell me what a moron I am, how I don’t understand kids or would be a crappy dad, check out a more recent post I did on Pom-Pom Diva Barbie. Which, let’s face it, is a silly idea. (The doll, I mean.)

sorry but I just had to be reading this I’m 12 years old and Iwatch the show every Saturday.I don’t know what you guy were watching but the show has nothing to do with the s word at all!!! It just shows a kids lifee as a rockstar. And I happening to love Nat looked up EVERYTHING on him and the show.It’s about what I said but some is mixed with fiction some is make believe and it shows kids that they can fufill thier ddreams and anyone can be a real rockstar if they put thier mind to it. Yes, they do have him in there with a crush but she barely likes him and they only kiss each other on the CHEEK twice.
Yes I am angered by this (but only because I like him)

Yah, I’ll say one more thing to sum up my onion:

Nick being a program for kids; where kids could be kids, has always been anti-KAGOY (n. a marketing concept based on the idea that children participate in pop culture or desire material goods intended for older consumers.)– AKA didn’t indulge in the concept of ‘tweens pushing adulthood.’

This new show is however contrary to there beliefs; but anyway if it’s on Nickelodeon parents automatically assume that it should be appropriate for kids, they shouldn’t have to think about blocking a program. At least that’s my opinion and I believe Warren put his two cents about this and probably said it better than I.

I PERSONALLY (as in my personal opinion) think the show sucks, its humor fails and lack substance and the acting is well… ‘Not all that good.’

I do however like the music, having a soft spot for the Beatles, which the music is a sort of reminiscent of and I’m impressed that the kids DO write and actually play their own instruments.

So I just wish the show was more about the music instead of the crappy plot concepts.

Well I’m done posting on here, I got better things to do than argue online about a kid’s T.V. show. HOWEVER, if I ever decide to write a research paper about the Naked Brothers Band and its effects (or lack thereof) on children, I’ll be sure to send it to Warren so everyone can read it. But that’s probably not gonna happen since I’m already busy writing a paper that refutes the arguments against ideo game violence. lol, so I hope you have fun and make sure you get out every now and then to enjoy life

Wow these kids can’t sing for jack and I’d be totally surprised if they were actually playing those instruments. The show itself is not far from soft porn either; with two preteen boys running around in their underwear and girls with very short skirts. In almost every scene you can see down the boys pants legs and up the girls skirts, it’s only a matter of time before they actually show a testicle or two, heck it has probably already happened and nobody noticed! The content of the show it was it is and not everyone will enjoy watching it, but for god sakes someone tell these kids to put some clothes on before it sets of more child molesters!

This is probably the stupidest discussion I have ever seen. Seeing as I am probably not as old as most of you, you are probably not taking one bit of this to heart. But I personally love the Naked Brothers Band. If any of you haters actually took the time to watch all of the episodes, then you would realize that all of this X rated stuff that you are talking about is totally stupid. The only things that even slightly hint at relationships and etc. is the relationship between Nat and Rosalina. But that is just preteen puppy love. And if you also took the time to realize that this show airs on TEENick, than maybe you would realize that its your own fault if you are letting your 7 or 8 year old watch TEENick. When I was 7 and 8 there were tons of shows like All That, Taina and
Keenan and Kel that I would want to watch, but my mom didnt let me. Maybe every once in a while. Before you freak out about this harmless little show that is not ment to be bad in any way, maybe you should think about the fact that if you have such a problem with it, just block it or dont let your kids watch it and move on. Just because a bunch of protective “I dont ever want my kids to know about the real world” parents get upset over this, doesnt mean that the show has to be bad. Its a matter of opinion whether you think it is appropriate for your children to watch, but remember, this show is aimed for preteens or even teenagers. Ask any kid that watches nick about the nbb and they will simply tell you that it is a funny show about a band with funny songs. Then all of the parents come in and over-analyze every little aspect of the show and blow everything out of proportion.What kid even cares about the song lyrics or what the say at one point in the show! Kids forget, they move on! But all the adults have to swoop in with their protective bubble for their children and act like the nbb is the worst show on earth. Look at some disney shows with tons of kissing and references to the behind area. The bottom line is, this is a good show and all of you protective bubble parents need to just block it and move on! Get over it!
