    Thanks. My daughter loves both Dora and Diego. She often turns on the TV and has treehouse in the background pays attention for 30 seconds or so and then continues what she was doing. When Dora or Diego come on she yells "Mommy Diego on" (or Dora as appropriate) sits in her chair and watches it, often trying to tell us about parts along the way (she's just turned two). Between these shows counting things and her counting book she has been counting to 10 for a couple of months now. I think the shows contributed since she also counts to 5 in Spanish and I did not teach her that! The old times were perfect for us as well. She watched Dora while we cooked supper and Diego to relax right before bed. We miss them!

    Hi , I babysit  my grandaughter and she is so upset that Dora isn't on at her regular time(4:30) anymore. She is so into Dora that she dresses like her and carries around with her a Dora doll everywhere she goes.She just gets so excited when she is on. She is only 2 but  has learned so much from that show. I always put it on everyday when I am getting supper ready .I was very upset when they took it off for  "Yo Dabba Dabba" which personally I think is not a very good show for a child of any age. Anyway PLEASE put  Dora back to it's original spot .
    Thanks

    Thanks for everyone's input on the petition that I started.  The reason I did it was because people on the forum were asking about it.  I have never even made a petition before.  Just want to mention that it is not just for Dora (but Dora definitely is the one I have heard the most frustration about).  The petition is for Treehouse to look at the new schedule and any input anyone has about it if they are not entirely happy with ALL of the new shows is appreciated or if they want an old show put back in etc.  Just a place to give the children a voice too!!!  I think we all deserve to be heard.  In addition, please spread the word to friends who may be frustrated also at your daycare or playgroups - the more signatures the better.

    No thanks.  My son and I don't miss Dora one bit!  He loves the new shows, and I'm glad there's finally something on TV that suits his whimsical nature.

    Petition for what?? To stop world hunger? End terrorism?.... what exactly are you hoping to achieve? I am absolutely amazed that you have to start a petition to bring back an animated character that doesnt even exist! How strange that it has come to that? SO Dora isnt on EVERY day, but what difference does that make in the big scheme of things? Is it the end of the world? If it really is the end of the world for you and your little one, then I suggest you sit down and take a long hard look at things. Is your child's happiness really measured by a fictional character?
     
    RANDOM POSTER:
    Life as we know it has been changed for the worst. My daughter is very upset that Dora is not on in it's normal time slot. She used to know exactly when Dora should be coming on and would come tell me, She isn't even 2 yet.
     
    "She isnt even 2 yet"! Yet the TV is ruling her. And changed for the worst? Really? Take a look at whats happening around the world today and work out how much worse off your life really is compared to others.
     
    Is the best argument for Dora the fact that your children need to watch this program during your cooking time? Is there nothing else your child can do? What would all these parents have done a 100yrs ago? No TV, and certainly no loud mouthed animated explorer. Dont get me wrong, Dora is an absolute fav of DD's, but it absolutely does not rule her life or mine. Last weekend she discovered that Dora was still on TV, and was overjoyed. I have known for the last 2 months when Dora's on, but never felt the need to tell her as I did not think that if she didnt get her weekly dose of Dora life will fall apart. When the TV is off, it stays off regardless of what shows are on, even if it means she misses her fav ones.
     
    We are very lucky to live a relatively peaceful life and have access to such luxuries as the TV and internet etc, but to let these things rule us is absurd. There are many children in the world today who do not have acces to a TV or numerous toys like our children do - the thing that their parents are most worried about is where the next meal is coming from, not why a TV station has changed their schedule.
     
    Put things in perspective and look at the bigger picture...

    What surprises( or should that be saddens) me is that people are still signing even though the petition states that it will be sent during March.

    Oh yes.
     
    I don't know if it's due to all the e-petitions I've recieved in my in-box over the years, but I don't think that they hold as much sway as people think they do.


    However I keep my anger  for , IMHO, much more important things.
