Dee's Brief Encounter with Zack and Cody

Dee's cousins watch a lot of TV; whenever we go over to their house, there is always at least two TVs on -- one in the living room and one in the playroom. There third TV (in the boys' room) may or may not be on. This in itself isn't so bad, but the older cousins usually pick the program, and they are a couple of years older than Dee and her youngest cousin. This has led to Dee wanting to watch shows such as Zack and Cody or Hannah Montana.
I don't consider these bad shows; they're just for an older audience and might have behavior I don't want Dee modeling. After watch Z&C at her cousins' over Christmas, Dee kept asking to watch it here. I did some research, actually watched an episode (gods help me), and decided to give it a try.
As I expected, she watched part of it and then played in the living room with it on. The next day, hubby asked her to do something, and her exact response was "Shut it!" She was immediately sent to her room, I was appalled and hubby was livid.
After her time-out was done, we explained how rude that was and she apologized to her daddy. I asked why she said it, and she said that it was funny. I asked why it would be funny and did she see it on a show or hear it at school. As it turned out, it was on Z&C, which ended that show's brief run in our household.
I realize that there may have been context and consequences on the show, but all Dee got out of it was "They said 'shut it' and everyone laughed, so it must have been funny!"
Right now, we try to keep her TV time down to under an hour -- fortunately, a houseful of toys, two dogs and a computer and PS2 go a long way to keeping her off the TV. At least on the computer and PS2, she's interacting; and she doesn't have the patience to sit and vegetate in front of the game system for more than 5-10 minutes!
