Waybuloo - is this the most stomach turning twee pile of toss you have ever seen?

(72 Posts)
I mean WTF? Simpering pink boggle-eyed things doing yoga? DS sat there open mouthed with horror going 'Mummy, is this RUBBISH?'
My two (nearly 4 and nearly 2) love it. It's a bit too chunky-boden-sweater-wearing middle class right on for my liking. I do like the idea of getting kids interested in yoga but not sure about encouraging them to bend around after tea time. And why don't they have noses? (I've told the kids this is because they all smell bad: My piplings got no nose / how does he smell / etc . . . )

DD(7) loves the yoga bit! She did yogabugs once at CP but we never found a local class while she was young enough to go so she hankers after that really (bad mother emoticon)!
She also loved Boohbah as a toddler and still watches Charlie & Lola blush
I wish some of the CBBC programmes were of the calmer end of the spectrum like this! All the Sarah Jane and Trapped stuff drives me mad- it must give the children nightmares surely (it does me)?
CBBC could learn a lot from the calming influence of CBeebies!
DS bloody loves this programme! I've sky plus episodes and he now asks me to watch them. He get the remote and shouts bulloo buloooooo until i put it on! He is nearly two.

He also does the yoga moves.

It is non offensive and i don't mind it. He used to love peppa pig but prefers this over peppa which i also sky plus. When i ask him what he wants to watch Waybuloo always wins.

I personally Love charlie and lola but he isn't fussed. I love the animation and the fact that the voice work is real children and not noiced by adults like in peppa pig.

My nearly 22 month old quite likes it. It took her a while but she's transfixed now. We also love Timmy, he's fab

Can't stand Mr Maker and that Green Balloon club is utter utter poop. Four or five obnoxious kids, specially the youngest girl.
That's really spooky, I was going to search to see if there was a thread on this programme today as my DS has just started watching it and loves it. We got a free dvd of it from the Boots parenting club but I can't find it now. He is only 15 months but sits completely still and doesn't attempt to get up and press the buttons on the sky box all the time so it must be good!

AND they have silly names and witter to each other very ungrammatically. I much prefer the Peppa Pig perfect diction stylee, which saves you having to teach your child anything as Peppa does it all for you.

Still, I forgive the Buloos (?) most of the above for providing their 10 peaceful minutes.

I was fairly aghast when I first saw it, but it's grown on me as it's guaranteed to send DD (3 and a bit) into a nice quiet trance for a few minutes - so hurrah.

She likes it and does the yoga exercises, which can't be a bad thing, surely. I did wonder though when they will first be sued for causing a toddler yoga-related injury.

I was a bit disturbed the other day though to realise that those little ET things all have names, and that DD actually knows them all now hmm
Truly dreadful. Fortunately both my dcs agree with me on this one.
Agree daisyJ, my 14 month old loves it - it is the only programme that holds his attention at all.

...but still agree on the stomach churning!
