Young Malcolm Reynolds was raised by forty ranch hands, I don't think he would be so shocked.

My kids are 4 and 7. I like the adult humor in Spongebob. Sometimes I chuckle, and they don't understand what's so funny. Do you know Clancy Brown is the voice for Mr. Krabs? He was the original Highlander, and was the guard in Shawshank Redemption. And Bill Fagerback, formerly of Coach, is the voice of Patrick.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Kaylee's full name, how did I get on Spongebob??



Clancy Brown played the evil Kurgen from the Highlander movie, and then the dad of the little girl on Earth2. Great voice ... I definitely didn't recognise it as Mr. Krabs, LOL!

But back to Firefly: seriously, your kids are at a great age to start enjoying SF. There's nothing funnier or more poignant than watching a 3-year old upbraid his dad for not behaving as a Padawan should.

Cheers,
Annik

I guess not then!

How do you explain the "whore" word that Mal banties about? Knowing my kids, they'd go to school and call their teachers that!

They sing along with the lyrics at the beginning of every episode. I have no idea why, but they *love* Heart of Gold above all other eps.

MAL: This is my scrap of nowhere. You go on and find your own.
SAFFRON: You can't just leave me here, on this
lifeless piece of crap moon...
MAL: Sure I can.
SAFFRON: I'll die.
MAL: Well, as a courtesy, you might start
getting busy on that, cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.

He also voiced Wolf (one of a group of supervillain/mercenaries called The Pack) on Gargoyles. Bill Fagerbakke was also on the show, voicing Broadway.

He also appeared on Enterprise last season; the guy's huge. Like, Jayne-sized, at least (and with that, we're back on-topic).

So far, no worries on that particular word, but we'd probably treat it like we treat everything else the kids ask us about: explain the meaning and explain why we do or do not use the word.

For example, we're big Austin Powers fans, too ... and the kids love those movies. But there's a fair bit of pun-like language that ends up sounding bad (such as "Yes, I'd like some chocolate ass cream"). We can laugh at it and use that word *at home, when watching the movie*, but it's not nice to talk like that for *real*.

This works quite well for us.

Also, perhaps we can convince the kids that Mal is actually saying 'hoar', as in 'hoarfrost'.

Cheers,
Annik

LOL! I was referring to the "Nick Jr." thing ... our whole family loves Spongebob. I hadn't heard about it until last year, when one of my students (college) told me about it, and loaned me a DVD. We were hooked later the same night.

I'm more than twice your age ... so I guess you can argue you are a *very mature* 16-year old because you enjoy Spongebob, too!

(BTW: the kids went as Spongebob and Patrick for Halloween this year ... I even managed to make them costumes ... for once! )

Special kind of 16, like 16 X 2??
