UK vs US Children's TV

lepaskilf · Mar 31st, 2012, 04:27 AM

First of all, I hope this doesn't offend any US members.

I let Tom watch TV but I never let him watch the US programmes, such as the US Thomas the Tank.

I fiind the US ones quite brash and loud and too fast pacing. I think it's because we usually stick to CBeebies but if we watch Milkshake and a US programme comes on it just instantly annoys me!!!

It's strange as we love the Disney & Pixar films!!

Anyone else like this?

When we started watching Disney Junior after only ever watching CBeebies, I did find it all a bit more, I dunno, different, loud, busy, 'Americanny', and some of it was really annoying. But my daughter prefers it, she loves Mickey mouse and special agent Oso and urgghhhh everything, I find the CBeebies stuff more educational, but she seems to get bored with it quicker now.

My 4 yr old loves disney jr but I am trying to stop her from watching it. In the past week alone she has seen the 'garbage' man and the 'mail' man.

I won't let Katie watch SpongeBob after I read an article that it shortens their attention span

She loves MMCH, I hate it. The words they use are made and it bothers me...like Mousekatools and Tootles!!!

I'm glad it's not just me lol!!

My LO is only 2.6 years old, so maybe he'll want to watch the loud annoying ones in a year or 2. He's happy with CBeebies at the moment which is good as I can only just stand that! God know what I'll be like when he's older!! I'll prob throw the telly out of the window!

lyssa's two of lyssa's favourite shows are barney and mickey mouse clubhouse- (the third is something special)
doesnt bother me, i find barney incredibly educational- more so than some of the cbeebies shows that annoy me more ( waybuloo and in the night garden)- but dont have a problem with either us or uk- it tends to be individual shows that annoy me. x

Tegan watches Disney junior or nick jr. To be honest I find the stuff on cbeebies to be really crap
