What do your 10-13 year old dds watch on tv?

[Dancergirl]

I'm trying to work out if it'll be really mean to get rid of the Disney channel!

Older two dds are nearly 13 and 11. They watch a fair bit on Disney but also like things like the Apprentice, Bake off, Call the midwife.

Will it be the end of the world for them with no Disney channel??

[Notmyidea]

I got rid of Disney, Nick etc because I hate them. Somehow seem to confuse being funny with being rude. The dds have coped with a mixture of cbbc and adult programs.

dd is 12 and in Yr7 - it eems to be a bit of a changeover time.
She still goes on to CBBC and picks up progs there, but also likes 'How I met your Mother' / 'Big Bang Theory' type programmes as well.
Loves a bit of Glee too.

[Fairylea]

Gosh no... get rid of Disney :) we just have free sat and dd aged 11 does well with mainstream telly like call the midwife, Britain's got talent stuff and she watches a fair bit of cbbc and citv too. Perfectly fine with those.

She also loves watching Sherlock on Netflix with me at the moment and I'm a terrible awful mother because she started watching vampire diaries with me and she absolutely loves it. I just sit with her and fast forward through any of the sexy bits (which are few and far between).

Dd10 likes casualty, eastenders, wipeout, cbbc, master chef, Friday download, the cube.

[Nocomet]

DD(12-13) Bake off, hairy bikers, strictly, the voice, Dr Who, Sherlock, Top gear, Simpsons, QI, mock the week, come dine with me (which I switch off), property programs, OBE (if I'm not looking) and I don't ask on Utube.

She admits to Dance Moms and following lots of trainee gymnasts video blogs, but lots of dubious comedy slips through too.

The perils of having an older sister. Never had Disney or Nicklodeon so it's a bit of a black hole once she had watched and re watched the Sarah Jane Adventures and the Roman mysteries. There are only so many times you can rewatch HP, Percy Jackson and Twilight videos.

DD1 likes science and history documentaries, but DD2 doesn't.

[Picturesinthefirelight]

Dd is 12 & in year 7 & doesn't watch Disney channel at all

Her current favourite is old episodes of Smallville. She used to watch Justice League.

Ds is 10 & likes channels like Cartoon Network. He likes The Simpsons, Pokemon & some awful animated stuff. There is one programme he watches that might be Disney called Crash and Bernstein. It's awful.

[lechers]

My DD is 10, and we don't have Disney. She likes a bit of CBBC

[Dwerf]

Endless minecraft videos.

But also big bang theory, sherlock. dr who.

[VivaLeBeaver]

I think dd does watch the Disney channel quite a bit. Doesn't watch cbbc.

Otherwise its stuff like The Simpsons, Countryfile, Top Gear, britains got talent, come dine with me.

[Dancergirl]

What channel is Dance Moms on? They like that too!

[bigTillyMint]

We have never haf Disney so I am sure they will be fine without it However, DD started watching Towie, etc at 13, so maybe Disney is preferable!

DS(13) watches things like Man v Food and Lizard Lick Towing!

[Dancergirl]

I suppose it's one thing never having had Disney and another having it and then it being taken away!

Interesting thread. My dd watches Austin and ally, Jessie, Ant farm, all the disney stuff..... She does also watch cbbc for MI high and stuff and she loves the Sewing bee but mainly she likes Disney.

I have to say the worst programme for making her speak to us rudely was the old days of Tracy Beaker! So I will leave disney on the list for now..

My ds 12 never watches tv, I mean never. Just isn't interested, he'd rather listen to music and scroll through more music to decide what to listen to next, lol

Dd 8 has been ill today and we've watched back to back icarly, victorious and Sam and cat, mind numbing!!

[Housemum]

We got rid of Disney Channel, only have Freeview via Youview BUT DD2 (11yo) loves Tracey Beaker/Dumping Ground and I'm not sure if that isn't worse! I hated the whiny American brats on lots of the Disney programmes but I'd rather watch Good Luck Charlie back to back than a single episode of the British brats on Tracey Beaker.

[Serendipity30]

I had the disney channel etc. but i noticed a noticeable change in my DD and her behaviour. She also started watching the same episodes on loop and was watching more tv than usual. I also felt that some of the content was too dramatic. I explained why i didnt like the the programmes she was watching and the took the channels off. DD was initially very against me removing the channels but after a week she appeared over it and went back to watching cbbc, although she now does other activities.
