Surprisingly, she's really into retro, much to my enjoyment. She *really* loves a 1960's cartoon "Hercules", which is hideously bad in every way possible. She also loves the Smurfs, Care Bears, Dora, Diego, and (making my heart sing) every comic book cartoon she can find (Spiderman is a big favorite, as is Superman and Krypto, the super dog).
We've got Time Warner Cable, and they have a 'on-demand' channel for every kids channel they have (10+), and they are included in our monthly rate, so it works out well. Its several hundred episodes available at any time of day. We rarely watch live TV, but when we do, its usually Dora/Diego or whatever is on those channels.
We went looking at costumes recently, and she did the usual "ooh, princess, heh! pirate!", but when she got to the Wonder Woman costume, she threw a fit when I told her we weren't buying a costume that day. She *wanted* to be Wonder Woman.
A geek can't get a much better feeling than that.
Well, that and she started my day today with a new phrase/request: "Daddy, big hug? I love your big hugs".
Melted my heart, lemme tell ya.
