    What channel is that on? We watch cable a lot more than local channels, so perhaps we missed it?

    Definitely some funny points in those YouTube's. DS is still learning the serious side to economics, so may enjoy them with my explanation; although the rubber glove thing isn't going to be one of those explanations...yet! wink

    It's on CBS Monday night.

    You can watch it on CBS website for past episodes.

    If your son likes Mr. Bean, have you tried Black Adder?

    Black Adder is a riot, if a little bawdy in some episodes. Definitely pre-watch.

    First episode I'd recommend is the one based on Macbeth.

    Aren't all comedians brilliant? Demetri Martin. He uses graphs and does a lot of language comedy. His stand up is almost kid-proof but then there are bits of innappropriate material here and there, but you can probably find hilarious clips that are appropriate. Mitch Hedburg is another language comedian, he may have some kid-proof material. My son thinks Bill Nye is funny, too.

    laugh Thanks so much for Demetri! I have a couple of nieces that will enjoy him.

    His "useless talents" at 14:20 on...... LoL Our DS (7) has stilts and has been asking for a unicycle!

    I'm partial to Victor Borge, myself. His Phonetic Punctuation is just hysterical --


    There are also a number of routines that are fabulous if you know anything about music, but still great even if you don't.
