Do your kids like the Backyardigans? If so, who is their favorite character?

Comments

I love this family especially after watching their show. They seem so lovable and happy and normal…but for some reason this picture upsets me. It seems like the family of 3 (tori, dean & liam) then Jack is off to the side…squishin his way into the photo. He’s not being hugged or anything…I think Jack should have been on the side Tori is and Tori should have been on the side Jack is…

it’s so sad…Jack looks sad.

I think that’s reading into it a bit much. Also if I remember right Mary Jo prefers he not be photographed, so maybe Jack just jumped in for a few shots.

I don’t think Jack looks sad. I think they didn’t have time to set up a “family” shot, and if they did, the paps take so many pictures that this may be one of the worst ones. There maybe others with Jack involved more into the group. How are we supposed to know? Anyway Torie and Dean love Jack tremendously due to her flying him in for their house warming party and Dean wanting Jack and wishing Jack would live with them.

It is funny that Mary Jo
Eustace is a chef in Toronto

She has two tv shows…She also has a adopted daughter.

Maybe that is why we see so
many photos of Jack.. He moved in with them..

I think it’s just that Jack is not used to the paps and press. He is a cutie! I think that’s the 1st time I’ve seen him!

I also think Jack looks left out!!

- J on November 4th, 2008

I too got the feeling that Jack looked to be on the outskirts in this photo. Not saying that translates to their real “moving” life, but just in this photo!

Am I the only one who thinks of Conan O’Brien everytime I see Jenny’s little guy??

Also, I forgot to say Dean has REALLY strong genes. All three of his children look exactly like him.

- Brandi on November 4th, 2008

yeaa i have to agree jack does look left out…but after all its only a pic.

- blackrose on November 4th, 2008

Jack may very well be making himself look left out…when you’re a boy and you’re 10 you’re not the most enthusiastic thing in the world…

- SH on November 4th, 2008

Well it was Backyardigans Live, what 10 yr old wants to see that?

- Ems on November 4th, 2008

Jack does look left, who knows if he really is. But I wouldn’t blame him if he felt that way considering everything that’s went down in his life the last few years.

glad yall can’t see some of our family photo’s, my 11 year old hates to be photographed so in about 99% he has same face as Jack lol.

- Lisa on November 4th, 2008

Ems- lol!

- jordyn on November 4th, 2008

I dont think he looked left out. The way they are positioned, there is no way Dean can hold the baby AND hold Jack. They would have to change the positions, but under this positioning, all looks fine

- Nikka on November 4th, 2008

Ems, I was thinking the exact same thing. Can’t say at 10 you’re really into the Backyardigans. I’ve seen other pictures of him out and about with them and he looks fine.

- kris on November 4th, 2008

I normally don’t post comments but why can’t Tori hold the kid for once.

- nikki on November 4th, 2008

Happywindy,
LOL, yes especially in this pic, I think Evan favors Conan O’Brien. He’s a cutie.

- CTBmom on November 4th, 2008

I would have liked to see Jack between Dean and Tori… with Dean how he is, holding Liam, but have Tori’s hands on Jack’s shoulders

- Kat on November 4th, 2008

oh my god,people complain if he isn’t in the picture,then they complain if he is. he is going to be living with them soon, if he isn’t already. he adores his dad,he adores tori, he adores liam & stella and they all love him heaps too.watch their show & stop assuming crap!

- ang on November 5th, 2008

Kat- At 10, Jack may not want Tori’s hands on his shoulders. Most boys that age don’t like their parents or step-parents being “touchy-feely” with them. In fact, I’m guessing he probably prefers not to even see Tori and Dean getting touchy-feely with each other (how many 10 year old boys do you know that don’t find kissing and other PDA disgusting? )!

My point is, Jack probably doesn’t WANT Tori (or even Dean) touching him, and, as another poster has said, boys his age don’t tend to be the most enthusiatic creatures in the world!

cutest Monkey-Toes bee socks!

- jenny ford on November 5th, 2008

all 3 are cute kids ….. kind of surprised that we’re seeing Jack though …..

- Bancie1031 on November 5th, 2008

I also found the photo sad.
His father should have his arm around him, and the homewrecker should be off to the side.
I believe this man will one day be truly sick of the Tori show and regret leaving Mary Jo.
