Which kid's character would you happily 'banish'?

Forums New posts
ALL of them except Sesame Street! OH and I were in a department store the other day and he and LO were in the toy section while I looked at baby clothes. When I went over to say I was done, OH was like, "Okay, we're just looking at Thomas the Tank Engine." I was like (throat cutting gesture) "Ssshhhh!! He doesn't know they have names!!!"
 
Dora. Seriously, who thought telling kids to 'say it louder' is a good idea?
All of the characters in Yo Gabba Gabba
Peppa, she is an obnoxious brat.
There are some plain weird kids shows out there!
 
I must say I tend to enjoy all the characters Thomas is into. He loves transformers, ghostbusters, batman and ninja turtles. He knows them from my OH's childhood toys, he has a lot of 80's and 90's figurines.

I'm like this with Peppa, Micah was given some Peppa pig toys and I told him they're just pigs.. He's happy with that as he's never seen the program.. OH wants to take him to Peppa pig WORLD?!!! Why oh why?! I'm putting my foot down on this one!

Yes! : ) DS is 4 now, so he is getting into all of these--such a huge step up lol! He also still loves Thomas the Train, which I am good with...they can be a bit whiny, but overall I like it. : )
 
Every Single Person on 'me too' ... the children always look terrified going into granny murrays house.

I like sarah and duck though! And jacob has discovered barbie: life in the dreamhouse on my Netflix which I actually enjoy watching :blush:
 
I'm a minority with this one but I liked Yo Gabba Gabba when Eliza was into it. It's so psychedelic haha. The voices were annoying but a lot of the sings are pretty catchy and the guest stars and bands are people/bands that I like. My OH loved the jack black episode but it got removed from tv and the DVDs.

As for my least favorites.. Caillou and his annoying whining are banned from our home.
 
^^Good point about the Yo Gabba Gabba bands--they were actually pretty good lol. My DS loved the one with Solange Knowles lol.

We also banned Caillou--total whinebag!!
 
I hate Sofia the First on Disney Jr., and while that Jake and The Neverland Pirates show is okay in and of itself, the two "real" pirate dudes that sing a song at the end make me HOSTILE. I hate them. Not a fan of Yo Gabba, either...I think they are pretty disturbing, really. LOL!
 
Personally I love Peppa Pig, I think it is hilarious and I like that it's kind of cheeky, haha. :lol: A 5 minute episode on YouTube has more than once saved me when I needed to get something done and LO was grumpy. ;)

I kind of wish Thomas the Tank Engine would be gone. I think he looks awesome and I love the theme song of the retro episodes as it reminds me of my childhood, but my goodness I hate the moralistic tone of the tv show and books. Why must all Thomas stuff be trying to teach a message? In basically every book/tv episode one of the trains does something 'naughty' and gets in trouble, and then at the end is all, 'I should have listened/not done that, blah blah blah'. Argh, just pop off, the lot of you!
 
Princess Sofia and all the other silly girly/ princessy characters. Urgh. I have never let DD watch a single episode of any show that has a princess as the lead character.
 
I loathe Caillou, he's a whiny little shit. I banned it after my LO started saying "pleeeeeease mommy pleeeeeease" in the same whiny voice as him.

I hate Dora's voice though don't mind her as a character.

OH! And Katerina Kitty Cat from Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. It's not necessary to add "meow meow" to everything, we know you're an effing cat.

Oh yes me to, that is the oddest programme, we avoid that one
 
I can't stand Peppa pig.
Not a big fan of in the night Garden. Not helped by DH pointing out that Iggle piggle looks like a guy in a condom, seriously why is his head that shape?

Not a big fan of Justin Fletcher either would be fine in small doses but he is never off the telly and he seems to be the only adult in most of his programmes.

Re why does Thomas have a moral it was originally written by a Reverend. Look out for the moral in most Disney films too.

I love both
 
Another for peppa pig! It was actually my oh who pointed out her attitude especially to George, my dd loves her little brother and I'd hate it if she thought what peppa did was acceptable, my dd is obsessed with it so it's on a lot in my house. I also dislike in the night garden it's those pontipines or what ever you call them lol luckily my dd hasn't taken an interest in it.
 
Barney I HATE him

My LO watched ONE episode and that afternoon at the cash point LO said 'il help you mummy HELPING IS GOOD!'

NO NO NO it's not when it means you talk like barney

It's never been back on our TV since

OMG Caillou! I bought this app on my phone which has tv shows on it and Caillou was one of them my dd got quite obsessed I didn't mind until she started shouting "MOMMY" the same way Caillou shout it very whiny, I had to limit Caillou time and she probably only watches him once a week now, so she's moved onto peppa pig who just as bad in my opinion lol
 
Dora is driving me bananas right now. Is it too mean to pretend they don't air it anymore to get a break?
 
I hate Caillou in French too, such an annoying voice! Peppa pig needs a run in with a barbeque and In the night garden is just plain scary.

We're obsessed with Sarah & Duck in this house, I may be a bit responsible for encouraging that one :blush: Latest purchase was an S&D calendar/family planner. DD has both books and a Sarah doll, and I crocheted her a duck.

Luckily we don't have a TV hooked up and I've banned DD from youtube so I have total control over what she watches.
