We've all heard about Alec Baldwin's angry message to his daughter, and like most of you, I didn't give it much thought.
However, while poking around our parent company AOL's news site, I found a link to this video (embedded below) in which Dora the Explorer, the bilingual chick who loves learning, receives a call from a very irate Alec Baldwin. I must say, Dora seems to take it pretty well. In fact, it's almost as if she's so preoccupied she has no idea what's being said to her.
Really, though, I can't blame Baldwin for getting upset. I'd be upset too if someone decided they'd rather hunt for treasure with their mother and a monkey than talk to me on the phone. I would suggest setting up an intervention with the Backyardigans; I'm pretty sure their credentials match Dr. Phil's.

Come on, you guys. Next, I suppose you'll be telling me
Diego is gay. Well, just in case, I'll have you know that
whether it's Dora The Explorer, Go, Diego, Go, or
Caliou, you can't make fun of Alec Baldwin this way.
Try using the South Park characters next time. They
curse much more than Alec did in his phone call. I'm also
demanding that any future clips of children's programs
from Nick Jr. & PBS, including Dora, Diego, and Sesame
Street that poke fun at the news media be taken down
from the internet, or stop making them, altogether.
I'm sorry, but Go, Diego, Go is one of my favorite TV
shows on Nick Jr. right now, and that's going too far.
RICK.

Wedding Bells benched by Fox??? - I really liked wedding bells and Think Fox should have given it a chance to catch on. It gave excellent women behavioral patterns. except the eratic woman buying the business, everything else was spot on esp the camera man who was part of the picture instead of taking pictures. The boss melted in his lips!!! Common Fox, why bench this one, why bench Justice, Standoff and vanished and leave us with boring Thursdays and Fridays?
