How irritating is it? Just discovered we can get chan 5 on our bedroom tv. DS LOVES Milkshake...grrrrr (hideous ads that make him want lots of crap plastic toys). Anyway, how annoying are the high 5 lot? The song keeps going round and round and round and round....aaaaaarghhhhhhh!

just tune it out, or get freeview so you can only watch cbeebies...

DHW: Hi-5 are among the only things that my DS2 misses about England. I have just ordered 4 of their DVDs...

If you think the Ausie gang are horrible you should see what the Americans have done to the program! DS2 actually cried when he saw them!

Please bear in mind that with the exception of Jup-jup Hi-5 are at least real people so they compare favourably with purple dinosaurs, Boobas and other blobs like the ?Tubby-Tubbies? in my books.

it is hideously overly sexy for toddlers isn't it? Encouraging girls to be very girly and fluffy and wear slouchy little tops that are off the shoulder! Oh god i sound like a mum!!!!

Hi5 have grown on me I am ashamed to admit... the wiggles do freak me out completely though

WW! LOL at porn queen! Still think that you need to subject yourself to the American equivalent to know the true definition of vile!!!

DHW: Really, really hope that you have a girl. There is NO way on earth that I could talk DD out of being all girly! I wear NO make-up; don?t even own heels or nailpolish but she is all pink and frou-frou!

FS: I am not a big fan of the wiggles either... They do seem rather patronising.

The outfits aren't as revealing as they look as if they might be, iyswim. I think they are quite cleverly based on revealing outfits but actually do cover most 'glamour model zones'. But the irritatingly girly frizzling is insufferable.

I have noticed that Charlie and Porn Star Kelli have got thinner, whilst Nathan gets fatter.

I have not seen the gang since October... Oh the withdrawal!

Awww, d'ya think he's pinching their food?

I find the Wiggles plain scary rather than patronising

My dd is entranced by it... I am learning to zone out.

Some of these comments are starting to convince me that this show might have qualities that I have previously overlooked. .

Must give it another look...

I don't mind Hi5 but constantly want to smack the pout off Kelly's face.
My dd loves Charlie and i'm with Blu here, the outfits aren't that revealing as they've usually got skin coloured leggings or tops on under the skimpier stuff. Not that i really watch like

This is crap and it's my TV

As sung by me after 10 seconds whilst turning off TV and putting Thomas TTE back on.

As a musician it's irritating, talentless pap. As a mother it's irritating, noisy crap.

Thank god they'll all get old and nobody will want to watch them.
