I thought the BusytownMysteries episode we watched was super cute. We actually watched it last Saturday on CBS. Brody was captivated by it. So much so that he asked me to put it on the DVR so he could watch it again. I ended up setting up the DVR to now tape it every Saturday. So in case we're not home, he can catch up on it. Or, the fact that he can watch it without commericals and/or whenever he wants is an added bonus too. I love how it's a great family show. There's no questionable content I have to worry about!

Brody is a computer nerd. At only 3 he loooooves playing on the computer. Once I learned that BusytownMysteries was on the web I knew he'd be all over it. And all over it he was. I was concerned it might be a little old for him (since he's 3). But, he held his own. He did have some questions on how to do things, but that's what mommy was there for. Between the two of us we have a great time playing on there!

Saturday mornings, grab your kids and catch the Busytown Mysteries on the CBS. (morning block of children’s programming, Cookie Jar TV) After it goes off, check out the BusytownMysteries.com website for tons of fun!
