My site at About.com is what is called a Topic Site. It's a subset of one of the Guide Sites, namely Kids TV & Movies. That site is called my Parent Site, and it is written by a fantastic and awesome lady named Carey Bryson. Carey was kind enough to answer some questions so my readers here at The TV Mom can get to know her a little better!
Tell us a little about yourself and your family. I am mom to three girls (ages 4, 7, 9). We live in the Dallas, TX area. My husband is a consultant and my tech support. :)
How did you become the Guide at About.com? I became the guide to Kids TV & Movies in 2005. I applied because I wanted something fun to do while staying home with the kiddos. I majored in psychology, and especially loved studying child psychology, so writing about the shows and movies kids watch was a perfect fit. I feel very strongly about the effects – both negative and positive – of media on children. I’m also fascinated by the movie making process and the incredible art and talent that goes into making movies, especially animated movies. So I have a lot of passion for what I do.
What was your favorite show or cartoon character as a kid? I had a few I liked – Smurfs, there was a Pac Man cartoon for a while (A woman after my own heart! In case you haven't seen my kitchen...) – but I just have really great memories of Saturday morning cartoons. That’s a lost tradition now. We have so many channels, and cartoons are always on, so there’s nothing that special about waking up on Saturday and turning on the iconic “Saturday morning cartoons.”
What's your favorite kid's show now? Backyardigans, hands down.
So pop on over to Carey's site at http://kidstvmovies.about.com and check out all the amazing stuff she has written in the last seven years. There is a TON! :)
