Wasn't the Sixth Sense enough...?
Okay, I'm a television watcher, I'm not gonna lie. In fact, although I am not part of the obesity epidemic in today's children and teenage society, I do get my daily five hours or more of television in. Sure my butt gets sore and my brain turns to mush for a bit, but it's not all talk shows and reality nonsense. One of my favorite channels, A&E, has really taught me about the world we live in today. I often compare my eating disorder and compulsive addiction with those of the drug addicts and alcoholics on Intervention and get a complete 360 outlook on heinous murders and illegal crimes on 48 Hours. My feeling towards this channel is beginning to shift after recent preview regarding their newest series. Psychic Kids is an hour version of Haley Joel Osmond's award winning "Sixth Sense." And while I loved the movie and it's shocking ending, the coming attractions for this show have me giggling like a school girl. Eight year old girls with make up and fake nails look straight at the camera whispering "Dead people speak to me..." and young boys who haven't even reached puberty yet express just what it is they see in their dreams.... ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW? These kids haven't even learned about themselve yet, and are all ready showing the television viewers of America their paranormal powers and ESP abilities. Don't get me wrong, there's a part of me that believes in the afterlife, guardian angels, and ghosts who have not yet crossed ever, but this show is a joke. A&E needs to ditch the psycho kiddies and send them and John Edward from Crossing Over to Loonyville :D 4 comments from 4 users

I feel a bit strange & a little embarrassed relaying this true story. When my daughter was about 3.4 years old, she made a believer out of me OR she had one heck of an imagination that just happened to be something that really happened in 1906, but.... I had plopped her on the kitchen counter while I was cutting up veggies. She started telling me about her "other dad" ... I told her she didn't have another dad. She was adament about her other dad and her new mom (she said her real mom died giving birth to her). They lived in San Francisco ... they lived in a 2 story house, they had a dog, and they were all killed in a huge fire, and that lots of other people died too. She was as detailed as a 3 year old can be in her description of her previous life. Weird? Heck yes! Anyone care to put in their 2 cents as to why or how a toddler would talk like this and know such things. BTW Bako ... if I forget on your special day ... Happy Birthday!

Geez, and I thought I was a couch potato. So, what do you do when the 5 hours watching tv are over? Save yourself. Post a critique of a book you just read. Tell us about a visit to a museum or art gallery. Share your cooking experiments in the kitchen. I'll read it with interest and comment. Honest. posted by

I spend hours picking weeds and tending to my garden when I'm not watching TV or browsing on Bakersfield.com. I also spend time with my animals when I'm bored. (I spend more time of Bakersfield.com than I do on MySpace or Facebook. I've been addicted for three years now.) Gardening is not something many teenagers do. That's OK with me, because I like to be unique. I don't watch any of the crap you watch on TV. I hate reality television because it's so stupid. I also can't get cable where I live, so I only have local channels. I mainly watch shows on ABC and FOX, but it varies sometimes. I also like to watch PBS sometimes. (That goes along with my addiction to NPR.) I've never seen The Sixth Sense and I don't watch A&E, but the show you described looks very stupid. I'd never watch it.
