Which children's programme could you happily do without?

Mine is "The Shiny Show". It's cheap and nasty and my ds can't be bothered either.

Closely followed by the over computerised graphics on Noddy (and every other show they do) that Channel 5 seem to have gone for.

Bring back Bagpuss and Mr Ben I sayGrin

This is probably more a teen show but cannot abide Dick & Dom in Da Bungalow. Don't know if they still do it (refuse to let 6yr old dd watch anymore) but when they did that bit about trying to make themselves sick that was the final straw.

Oh Yorkiegirl my dd used to love Bananas. She has got loads of their videos and at 6 still wants to go and see it when it comes on at our local theatre. Ds now gets to sing the theme tune at his baby music group. Bet you envy me dont you LOL Grin

Forgot to add the Fimbles - just don't get the "fimbling feeling" thing. Looks like a cheap attempt to cash in on marketing colourful, flufy blobby things.

Anything with Dick & Dom in it. What on earth were parents thinking of when they subjected their children to the baby races? Some people will stoop to anything to get their f**k ugly mugs on the tv. TWATS! Angry

Zingalong, Fab Lab and the Roly Mo Show all have me reaching for a virtual shotgun.

Ds1 loves the older programmes like Mr Benn, Bagpuss, The Clangers (all on Nick Jr in the evenings) and has watched his Dangermouse video so many times that the tape has almost worn out.

Big cook little cook. The food is vile and they are so unappealing. The songs are irritating and I hate the way they always remember the cookery books after thinking about it for ages.

I HATE HATE HATE Tikkabilla only because of the songs they sing on it. It makes me cringe having to listen to it. Also zingalong, I find it utterley lame and pathetic!

Bloody Zingalong - can't describe how much I loathe it - easily the crappest thing CBeebies puts out in an otherwise good schedule Angry

really surprised that so many of you dislike tikabilla as it seems to me to be one of the few shows to be vaguely intelligent.We like it!
I loathe fimbles,big cook little cook,zingalong!!!! What drugs were being imbibed the day someone decided zingalong was a good programme??????? She must be the daughter of someone high up!!! Surely?? The shiny show! Bloody awful! boogy beebies.
There are far more programmes i dislike, than those I like.
I love come outside,tweenies(because i think they are like real children!)storymakers is ok.
ds only really watched cbeebies, because at least there are no bloody adverts.
