While Blue's Clues is repetitive, it's not nearly as grating as a lot of kids' shows. The music-oriented ones are particularly easy for me to sit through.
If you decide to go the cable TV route? I find Noggin to be the least annoying kids' channel overall. Our hands-down favorite show, which sadly isn't on DVD yet? Oobi. There is no middle ground with Oobi, though...you either love it for the detailed sets and subtle cleverness, or you hate talking hands with pingpong ball eyes and Yoda-style grammar.
There's an RSS feed for new quotes, by the way.
This has always been a favorite of mine:
<[SA]HatfulOfHollow> i'm going to become rich and famous after i invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet
Is there anyone amongst the invited group who could sidle up to Snubber, say "I didn't see Koko at the wedding, I was really surprised by that!" and see what Snubber says?
I have a friend who had that happen, and that was the route he took. (In that case it turned out to be an oversight.)
You may just want to try burning a CD anyway, if you haven't already. My iTunes refuses to acknowledge that I have that drive in the lefthand column, but will cheerfully use it when I go to actually burn a CD.
That's what you get for not equipping a Parachute Cloak.
