When you have a toddler at home, you often find yourself not watching the mature, adult-oriented programming you enjoyed when there were no kids around. Instead, you watch the Disney Channel a lot and plenty of Nickelodeon. I consider myself lucky that my daughter isn't interested in Hannah Montana yet, since I can't afford tickets to her shows. But there are other programs that I watch with her and after a while, you start to find some redeeming qualities in this kiddie programming.

Lisa J. Lennox can easily be considered one of Canada's finest babes of the small screen, dazzling us daily with her singing and dancing. She is clearly the cream of the Canadian crop when it comes to kid shows from the Great White North, eh? You can see her on "The Doodlebops" where she plays Deedee Doodle. She looks much better without the pink makeup and unflattering purple dress. If she ever came to this country, she could be the most popular Canadian export since hockey.

But let's shift our attention to another part of the world, and another TV show that I now watch on a nearly daily basis thanks to my  daughter.


Meet Caterina Mete!!!

This little Aussie pocket rocket is one of the world famous Wiggly Dancers on the show, "The Wiggles." Always smiling and shaking her short frame, 27-year-old Caterina not only shows off her boundless energy as a highly-trained dancer, but she has an occasional speaking role at the end of the program, often telling us that she hopes we enjoyed the show.

Yes Caterina...we did.

She has her own appreciation web page on MSN, which is a little odd but still, it's a testament to her rising popularity.

I think she's on tour now with the Wiggles, shaking her toned butt and legs all over the world. So Caterina if you read this,  please let me know if you can make a house call to my living room. It pays well....but lose the red coat.

Thumbs up Caterina...and a g'day to the rest of you.
