I forget how old Tyler is. We bought the set of "Horation Hornblower" series from, I think, the A & E. They're action/adventure, with no "language", no graphic sex (no sex at all, really). There is violence because of the battle scenes, but it's not the really graphic stuff you see in the R-rated movies. They're great stories and very entertaining. We can watch these when my Mom, sister and niece are watching. They are very sensitive to the content of a lot of the crap on television and movies, but the Horatio Hornblower episodes are very acceptable. Might be a little old for Tyler, though.

Tyler is 7. He loves Star Wars, so I might get the original series and let him keep them. He only has the latest two. He also likes Crocodile Hunter. He is fascinated by weather stuff,too, especially tornadoes. Most of the cartoons out there under the guise of children's programming are either adult themes masquerading as cartoons, or they're so infantile as to insult the intelligence of the average 7 year old, or 3 year old, for that matter. Shows like Sesame Street turned to the dark side with political correctness a long time ago, and when Tyler lived with me, I only let him watch it in small doses. One of his favorite shows was Planet's Funniest Animals, which, of course, I don't get.
