What kid programs do you happily watch alone?

There are some programs I do enjoy watching that are classed as kids programs.

Sometimes you just need something easy and fun Grin

Mine are
Pokemon
H20 just add water
Mako mermaids

There are probably others but I can’t think of them off the top of my head.

When mine were younger and watched CBeebies, I easily watched Hey Duggee Grin

Hey Duggee is loved in this house too. My 15 month old can say about 10 words one of which is Duggee. Blush

I've watched all the tween ones on Netflix, especially if it's to do with horses. I would have loved to have a horse on a lovely little island when I was a teenager 😭

Postman Pat
Scooby Doo

Little lunch is amazing ! I also don’t mind - Victorious , The Inbestigators (similar to Little Lunch) Operation Ouch and Horrible Histories

ChrissyPlummer · 17/03/2021 14:38

I remember watching House of Anubis...

I was both too childish but amazingly fascinating at the same time Grin

Do ones from my own childhood count? If so:
The new adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Both versions of famous five, plus the adventure series they did in New Zealand.

DH has been known to watch My Little Pony whether the kids are around or not.

I'll happily watch Operation Ouch, because, well, Xand.

Soubriquet · 17/03/2021 14:46

@FedNlanders

Have you seen H20 just add water? It’s the series before Mako mermaids.

I like the Sarah Jane Adventures. DD is starting to watch carefully selected Dr Who episodes with me as well. (She's 8 now... Elder sister finds it too scary!)

user64332 · 17/03/2021 14:47

Norris Nuts on YouTube, if I notice a new episode in the evening I will watch without the kids Blush.

user1483473283 · 17/03/2021 14:47

Oh absolutely loads! All of the Spirit franchise on Netflix. Zootropolis and Moana (I know they are films but I love them 🤷🏼‍♀️). Secretly quite like some of the Barbie stuff on Netflix too. Oh and the Bibi and Tina films too 🤣

peachgreen · 17/03/2021 14:58

Kiri and Lou. It's BRILLIANT, and the music is amazing. DD has gone off it though and is well into the Ben & Holly / Peppa Pig phase, much to my chagrin (I HATE Nanny Plum/Miss Rabbit, her voice is SO annoying).

Phoenixdays · 17/03/2021 15:02

I like little princess as normally have a sweet storyline - although the princess is too spoilt. I hate bing that whining rabbit!

DioneTheDiabolist · 17/03/2021 15:03

Horrible Histories. I'm a bit of a perv.Blush

MrsWP · 17/03/2021 15:06

Pets Factor.

Pre-lockdown we had a little routine of in from school, snacks and an episode of PF.

I was included in that "we" 😂

drayday · 17/03/2021 15:07

Teen titans and the Avatar and Legend of Korra series i will happily watch.

UnaLength · 17/03/2021 15:12

I used to love Big Cook Little Cook. Plenty of innuendo there I thought.

Also loved the Shiny Show and Come Outside. Showing my age now as DD is 17!
