Not a mama, but I've babysat a lot.
My longest-term babysitting charge, Walker, used to watch videos in the Baby Einstein series...and just LAUGH. That kid had an awesome sense of humour. The bears and monkeys and stuff cracked him up.
Other TV didn't really interest him much. I kept it on for noise a lot, just because the kid didn't talk and I missed hearing human voices. I'd have on CNN or whatever, and he'd continue to play with his toys.
