Let's send Spellings a message and all Tivo PBS's "Buster"
Edited on Sun Mar-06-05 01:25 AM by NormaR
In case you haven't heard, Bush-sychophant Margaret Spellings tried to quash an episode of the kids' show "Buster" because they had the audacity to show a two-mom family.

I happen to watch Buster with my kid and it is a fantastic show - educational, smart, funny and entertaining. It is NOT about "fighting crime", weapons, violence, being sexy, being in a band or space mutants, as most other shows for kids her age are (in other words, it's not on the so-called family-friendly Disney Channel). Thank God for shows like Buster.

Let's all get a season pass on Tivo for "Buster" and send the ratings through the roof, and send the message that Spellings' fascism is what should be quashed.

Here's the full story from the WaPo:

1. interesting idea! Not sure how the "season Pass" works -- but I'll
see about doing something like this -- DH just reserected our tv again (it was only used for dvds and videos) -- and I'm just figuring out how some of the features work.
