Debra, I have an 11 yr old and a 2 yr old both well above their age in education, and they watch it sometimes when their mom isnt around. But as I try to tell the wife ( not all that sucessfully at times ) The more complex the minds the simpler the entertainment!!
Thus let your little smarty have some fun relaxing quality entertainment

Who knows maybe someday he will end up growing up and posting here on the forum!!
