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

[sue_88]

HATE mini beasts that's on right now on cbeebies! Not so much the content again, M quite enjoys it as she knows what a spider is so points and say spider but I can't stand the woman!!

I find her so pretentious! Annoying woman.

I was just watching that episode of Mini Beasts. I am embarrassed to say I learnt something from it, I honestly didn't know that ladybirds are kinda like butterflies in the way they develop

We did ban Peppa Pig! The kids seem so much better behaved without it, i HATED Peppa and the way she was, so bratty!
The kids mostly watch films now though so im saved from the worst of kids tv, with the odd bit of Ben and Holly thrown in!

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 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.

that thread is brilliant!!
my DH also complains that Mrs Rabbit has too many jobs

as someone said, I don't mind Peppa really I actually like of the situations they show?

Has anyone come across some videos in YouTube called 'CHU CHU TV'?
those are creepy!!!

This one line in that thread

"When they make spaghetti and meatballs, which one of their friends do they mince?"

Oh god, I watched numberjacks for the first time the other day. . WTF is up with the number catcher, he is terrifying!

On a more positive note, both me and LO love the Furchester Hotel, nice to have something good on beebies!

Dora!

 

[lhancock90]

Dora!

What about new Dora in the city! Woo hoo! Now shes an annoying teenager

 

[Vampire Mom]

I like Yo Gabba Gabba if we are sticking with kid programming. Since most of it's awful.

Pretty much if it's on Nick Jr or Disney, there's going to be hate. Peppa Pig is one of the worst.

Granted, none of those distract Hannelore that much. I want her quiet, put on one of the band DVD we have and two hours of enthralled toddler.

Yep it tipped me over the edge this weekend past lol

 

[Vickie]

Dora here to

The amount of times I had to hear "Swiper no swiping" from my daughter was un-freaking-real

Actually since my daughter outgrew it we just never introduced it to my son learned my lesson!

 

[Vampire Mom]

After Hannelore shrieked "No Dora! Quiet!" I ran with it and that dang show doesn't exist in our world.

 

[RachA]

I would banish any character that doesn't talk properly. I've my child is watching tv I want them to be hearing what they should be not what some show producer thinks is cute!!
Thankfully mind tend not to watch tv much

 

[minties]

The effects of Peppa are long lasting. She has been banned for a long time now but my kids still say "oh!' in a startled British accent daily. Even I'm doing it now!

 

[Bentley.]

Caillou!!!! We no longer let him watch it because I can't stand how whiney he is and that his parents never tell him to smarten up.

 

[AngelUK]

My boys love Caillou but his whineyness and the way he says Mommy really grates on my nerves lol Luckily they only get to watch any kind of show on youtube and only once a week or so.

 

[neadyda]

Norman from fireman Sam. What a brat!

Also I can't stand green balloon club!

Oh my word I couldn't agree more! I once put this on, on Netflix and wondered who would watch a show about such a whiney child!

 

[the why bird]

Has anyone come across some videos in YouTube called 'CHU CHU TV'?
those are creepy!!!

Ugh yes so creepy! But I will still take those over those awful busy beaver ones which are clearly made using MS paint, all grating voices, adverts for their own channel and hour-long videos with the most incredibly repetitive stuff on it. Like just singing the names of the shapes over and over and over until your ears bleed and you give up all hope for the future.

Hope it is OK to resurrect an old thread.

Only dislike a few shows. Actually more certain characters from a few shows.

Probably alone with a few of these:

Telly from sesame street. He sounds like a grumpy old man and seems a bit bossy. Thankfully he isn't a favorite of DS either. He likes Cookie monster and Grover.

Elmo's world segment on Sesame street. Simply annoying especially the song at the end. Thankfully Elmo also isn't a favorite character of DS.

Prince Wednesday on Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. He is pushy and whiney. The worst episode is the "You can take a turn and then I get it back." Great concept and lesson. Just hate that he demands to use Daniels car twice simply because he forgot his at home. He doesn't ask to borrow from anyone else and Daniels dad makes him give it to him. Just rubs me wrong. Maybe they could have found a better way to illustrate the lesson.
Katerina kitty cat doesn't bother me. Probably because I liked the cat on Mr Rogers growing up. I remember imitating her a lot as a child (meow meow yes meow meow). I should ask my mom if that was annoying. Ha ha.

Steve on Curious George. He is so stupid. It's sad that George, a monkey, can figure simple things out before he does. His sisters laugh is fake and annoying too.

Don't get me started on Cat in the hat. I don't need my son learning nonsense. And what mother let's their kid run off on adventures to unknown places without question? They don't even come out of the house to see them leave with a cat. That show is banned. I don't have a problem with Dr Seuss books, just that awful show.

Someone mentioned peppa pig to me, asking if we have seen it. They said it was popular and a good show. I said no, not yet and considered finding it for DS. After reading this thread I am so glad I procrastinated. Dora and Caillu are also banned.

Favorites in this house are Curious George, Thomas the train, Sesame street, and Daniel Tiger. He also likes Cars, How to train your dragon, Lego marvel, spiderman cartoons, and care bears.

I had no idea about the fat controller name in Thomas until one day we had the captioning on while watching one of the movies (a habit of DH). Instead of Sir Toppom Hat it said fat controller. Gave DH and I quite a good laugh. I think it was misty island rescue but could be wrong. It's all a blur.

Oh and any PBS watchers seen the Odd Squad promos? Oh man I seriously hope DS doesn't like that show. Heck I may ban it before he can see it. Stupid adults, kids running a squad men in black style. All of it bad acting kids with green screen animations thrown in. Just bad. But then I never liked the kid acted shows on Disney and Nickelodeon. Yuck.
