|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board OT (not if you have kids): Backyardigans "Front Page News" Wes Hope, Photographer Maryville | TN | USA | Posted: 4:41 PM on 01.08.09 ->> My 3-year-old is a huge fan of the Nick's The Backyardigans and just watched an episode called "Front Page News" about a newspaper photographer (and superhero). It originally aired over the summer and I have no idea how I haven't been subjected to it until now. Maybe a laid off photographer has picked up work as a cartoon writer. Here's a snippet from the main song... an interaction between an editor and a photographer that, in my experience, isn't too far off base: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5MplPudQiY Keep your eyes peeled for it to air. I think Backyardigans are on 84 times a day. Or maybe it just feels that way.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I think a lot of us have worked for that little blue bird editor dude but I have never seen one dance quite like that. Maybe an anonymous forward to my editor is in order here!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Hey Wes, have you seen the Higgley Town Hereos where the hero is a photographer?? That's a good one too. :)  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The kid figured out the remote control before she learned how to walk. Since then, I haven't watched a single minute of TV for myself. :)  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
