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

[catty]

This guy!!!!!!! Saw him for the first time yesterday and I was scared!! Reminded me of Saw films with the 'play my game' lines. *shudder*

I also don't like:
Sarah & Duck
Abney & Teal
Tilly and her (mother f**king) friends


I LOVE Raa Raa, wish he was on all day! Lol

Omg I HATE this guy, I don't let lucas watch it as I find him so creepy. He has his ear pierced, a weird voice and just seems like a creep

 

[Gym knickers]

Sorry but I had to post this, I HATE peppa pig and I think she is such a brat. My brother just sent me this on whatsapp and it made me giggle!

 

[Amarna]

OMG, I completely agree with Barney! My kids don't watch him but my littlest sister was completely obsessed when she was little. I could never stand that large purple annoyance or any of the dinosaur "friends" on the show.

The only thing my toddler watches that really annoys me is Dora. I absolutely cannot stand her voice! It's such a loud show and it drives me absolutely up the wall. Some sadistic person got DD a Dora alarm clock that screams in her voice every time it goes off. I could kill them.

I'm lucky I suspect that DD doesn't like to watch much TV. The only shows she asks to watch are Jake and the Neverland Pirates which I don't mind and Elmo who I also don't mind.

Why does Peppa's school/play groups roof always need replacing? Why do her parents let her and George run off down a hill to play alone? I assume there is a road nearby. What if they get run over or walk off?! These things I ponder while I try to sleep at night...I guess Peppa is 4 and George is 2. How come no one is concerned at George's lack of speech? Where is the HV? Oh won't somebody please think of the children!

Lol...

I feel very fortunate that Ollie has no interest in Nick Jr. He LOVE Disney Jr though.

I hate Curious George but it's hands down ollie's fave atm. Eurgh.

I DESPITE that stupid wee 5 minutes segment "Nina needs to go". Really? Do we really need a show about a girl needing the loo?! Busby from the hive is a wee brat too.

 

[twobecome3]

love Barney but HATE Barneys friends, Baby bop, BJ, riff

especially hate baby bop

I wonder about Peppa pig stuff too!

I was reading this the other day ... some really good questions.

Not sure if that link is allowed, hopefully admin will remove if not.

Maria watched a bit of Peppa Pig when we were in England - hate it!

Some kids shows we get on the telly here stay in English and others get dubbed into Finnish. Dora gets dubbed into Finnish which makes it quite strange, don't like it but Maria loves it, instead of doing bits in Spanish they do bits in English instead which really irritates me because its always badly pronounced English

I usually just put the volume really low when Maria is watching tv so I don't have to be annoyed by the characters

And In the night garden is so fucking strange!!!

 

[Loui1001]

Dora. I hate her with an unreasonable passion.
DS is past the days of Disney junior but the theme song from Mouk made me want to tear my ears off. Peppa is a cheeky impertinent little sod.

But I do enjoy a bit of fireman Sam and Ben & Holly, I'm not altogether miserable

 

[the why bird]

Ah I found myself nodding in agreement with so much of this!

I actually don't mind most cbeebies shows - even though Justin is a bit annoying and some of the shows are dull I can usually see what they are going for and they do really try to have a variety of types of shows. That said, I HATE all the shows with inexplicably stupid adults in. Me Too (how is it none of those grown ups can ever remember the way to work?) Balamory (even the flipping police officer is stumped by simple things like what happens when you post a letter) and don't even get me STARTED on Grandpa in my Pocket. All of the adults are stupid and each have only one personality trait. I now tell myself that each of these little towns is actually some sort of assisted living community with actual sensible adults who come round and remind them how to brush their teeth and operate the toaster. I can't think of another way they would survive in the world.

I also really despise the numberjacks. It's creepy, repetitive and even the animation is crap!

I have mixed feelings about Peppa - yes she does have a bad attitude sometimes, but often they're quite realistic ways for little kids to act out. Usually when she's being mean or bossy she gets a taste of her own medicine (like she will try to leave George out because he's little and then end up getting left out herself) but it's pretty subtle stuff and I don't think toddler aged kids would really get the lesson. And some of the subtle jokes for adults are good. Mr Fox and Grampy Rabbit crack me up. Also it's sometimes the only way I can fend off a tantrum while I'm feeding the baby.

 

[SoBlessedMama]

^^Lol TWB, that is a great analysis of those adults, and a very good point!! I feel the same way about the mayor on Paw Patrol. She's an idiot...and carries a pet chicken around. But the show overall is cute, and DS loves it. : )

 

[KatieB]

Kate and Mim Mim. Irritating beyond fucking belief.
I Can Cook with Katy's gurning face "ooh this watermelon ice has given me loads more energy to go and play" cartwheel bullshit is just aaaargh.
Peppa Pig is amazing, hypnosis for toddlers. Keeps mine quiet for ages.

 

[lindseymw]

I haven't watched a single episode of Peppa Pig My two never wanted to watch it.

They loved Waybuloo which I didn't mind...until they wanted me to do "Yogo." Unfortunately balance and grace I was not blessed with.

Jacob loves Masha & Bear.....where the feck are her parents???? Are they not concerned that their daughter (2/3 year old?) hangs around with a bear all day and sometimes at night? Or just goes wandering around the woods alone? There are wolves about....hello????

 

[pa2k84]

^^ your comment reminded me of 64 zoo lane. Often she goes to her room because she does not want a bath or something so what happens when one parent comes to check on her and she out the window playing with a LION!

 

[HappyAnjeL]

I have never heard of a lot of these shows. Maybe I live under a rock?

Yo Gabba Gabba. Abby LOVES it. But we all have to watch it and dance with her the whole time, if one attempts to step away, Abby has a meltdown.

Peppa pig annoys me, and apparently Abby too as she always says "where the remote go" the moment it comes on.

also Max and Ruby. Mostly because Max only say one word through the whole episode, every episode. It's always a different word so clearly he can say different things, but nope lets say ''spaceship' 100000 times in the span of 15 minutes.

And have I just never noticed the bubble guppies being way out of tune (or is it different bc Im in the US?)

Ohh and paw patrol is cute, but Mayor Goodway is obnoxious.

 

[babyjan]

Hmmm I can't think of one at the moment but my son knows quite a few American ones because of youtube, Daniel tiger, cailou? He often watches shows in Chinese and all sorts of languages too lol

 

[Chrissie84]

Our LO loves Doc McStuffins and animated films- Finding Nemo, Tangled and Lady and the Tramp are the favs (Or Elmo, 'orse and dog-dog as she calls them)
She loves the short films of The Gruffalo, Gruffalo's Child and Room on the Broom too..

Baby TV was banned and Mr Tumble's voice grates on me

 

[vermeil]

We watch no TV at our house so no kids shows either. I avoid most kids movies, buy cothes witout charaters etc and my son still manages to obsess over certain characters, probably picked up from daycare.

 

[PoppyPainting]

'Me Too' arghhh! Why anyone would consider leaving their child with creepy Granny Murry I don't know. Lo is currently obsessed with Rupert Bear and I'm not exactly a fan of Raggity !

And for a pp a lot of those programs are on british channel ceebeebies....
