Our TV in the living room is usually on noggin in the mornings. I do occasionally catch Judge Judy when I cook dinner, but I mostly like peace and quiet or enjoy a talk with my mom on the phone while cooking.
My sympathies to you and the morning kiddie shows..this is a must for survival when you have small children.
I can still recite the entire intro to Barney and Friends and all my children have graduated college and moved out.
