In Which I Watch Television

[forsyth]

So I was bored, and didn't want to get on the computer yet, so I turned on the TV a bit ago. It was around noon, so mostly news and nothing on. I ended up switching back and forth between two of the local PBS stations (We have 3 in the Washington-ish area, it's kinda weird), one had three guys playing Indian music, probably local guys near the station, but maybe not. On the other was this incredibly trippy children's program. It started out with these dancing gumdrop shaped things, and had lots of rainbows, and a "Story Family" with people named Mrs. Lady, Mr. Man, and similar, who had to be related by adoption. Apparently, it's called "Boohbah" and is designed to get kids to exercise or something. That, or prepare them for drug trips, I'm not sure which. Definitely one of the trippiest things I've seen lately.

DOOD!

You saw Boohbah! (Brought to you by the makers of Teletubbies.)
The farty noises are just absurd. The site is trippier yet. I was introduced to that site way before knowing it was a show. It's...relaxing. Just lights and colors and noises and dancing. No words at all, except for the dulcet tones of "boooooohbaaaaah..."
