Alternatives to that bloody Pig

[Sproutsandall]

Dd, nearly 3, is hooked on Peppa. She’s not allowed watch TV during the week, but the Peppa repitition at the weekend is driving me nuts. I quite liked it at the start, but now that we’ve watched every episode 5000 times, I’m inclined towards some nice roast pork.

I’m not in the UK so trying to find acceptable alternatives on YouTube/Netflix. So far she’s said no to that black bunny thing, that thing with the Elves (Ben and someone?) and Paw Patrol. Any other suggestions please? Preferably something that will not make me want to shoot myself in the head immediately.

Thank you in advance

Hey Dugee. I actually quite enjoy it

It's easier to tell you what to avoid! Whatever you do don't watch Topsy and Tim or Fireman Sam.

Unwrapping shows on you tube the cure is worse than the disease imho my son also tortures his aunt with shimmer and shine pj masks and some show with cat boy and miraculous?

Ohh yes Hey Duggy is quite good. A woof.

You've had a lucky escape when she said no to bing.
Netflix has a trolls spin off
She might like blippi on you tube he's more educational

We like Hey Duggee, and Danger Mouse (the 80s version not the remake) both on Netflix. We’ve heard so many friends say they wish they’d never let their children start watching Peppa Pig that that show is banned in our household :)

Ds has been watching toot the tiny tugboat and something called Puffin Rock, both on ch5 (milkshake) and they are both pretty good. Plus we Love blaze and the monster machines, the soundtrack is ace!

My little pony is on Netflix.

Another Peppa mad fan here I think we know the episodes back to front too! Happily she's now getting interested in Tom & Jerry and a character called Booba who is always getting into mischief, she proper cracks up laughing at his antics. Steve and Maggie is good too. Someone mentioned Blippi, she seems to like him too we find him annoying lol. Hope some of these suggestions appeal to her 😊

Hey Duggee might be acceptable, thank you.

I’m not sure about Blippi...he looks a bit zany.

Oh more suggestions! Thank you, I will look these up.

Hey Dougie, original Danger Mouse, Ben and Holly, original Ghostbusters, Rastamouse, The Clangers, 64 Zoo Lane, Spongebob Square pants are all good.

Avoid Mr Tumble, Waffle the Wonder dog, Topsy and Tim and In The Night Garden.

Sarah and duck?

Charlie and Lola is lovely! Sarah and Duck is also great.

Muppet Babies is awesome... eh I mean my 4 year old likes it

Oh and the Meg and Mog cartoon if you can find it on YouTube. My 3yo son absolutely loves that we have a DVD of it, and I dont mind it actually, can sit thru it. Cannot sit thru peppa!
I love the Clangers but my son is lukewarm about it

Puffin Rock is charming and has educational animal facts lovely animation and less brattishness than Peppa, though I may love it more than 2.5 yo DD does

I bloody love Hey Duggee. My DS is too old for it but my nephew is obsessed.

It was definitely written by people who had a heck of a good time in the 90’s .

I get pounced on every 5 minutes for a lovely squishy slightly sticky ‘Duggee hug’!

I love Hey Duggee, Puffin Rock, Nelly and Norah, Abney and Teal, Sarah and Duck, the new Clangers

Plus the old Clangers, Bagpuss, the Herbs, Ivor the Engine, Meg and Mog, etc (there’s loads on YouTube)

Sadly one of my kids is too old for these and the other is too young, I’d happily just watch them by myself though...

And Button Moon!

I don't want to alarm you but my 7yo is watching Peppa as I type. The love is strong.

For your own amusement, watch the 'stick badge' episode of hey duggee.....

Ah yes, Charlie and Lola is sublime compared to Peppa Pig.

Hey Duggee
Octonauts
Go Jetters

After Peppa my DD1 moved on to Ben and Holly. I find it preferable!
