I hate paw patrol!

The theme tune is horrible and garish, the voices make my ears hurt. There is literally nothing educational about it and one thing that really bugs me is there is only ONE girl dog and she is bright pink. Argh!

I feel like it exists purely to sell merchandise.

I know Bing is a whiney sap but at least kids learn stuff and me when I watch how patient Flop is

There's Everest too - she's another girl dog.
Skye's actually pretty badass.

I read somewhere that it's stressful for kids to watch. The garish colours and rescue style missions.

I love Paw Patrol

AnneLovesGilbert · 29/08/2022 19:38

None of it’s compulsory. If you don’t want it in your house don’t have it.

pimlicoanna · 29/08/2022 19:42

There's actually 3 girls now

SunshineClouds1 · 29/08/2022 19:43

I agree Skye gets the job done😂

Just don't put it on

Are you including Liberty? She was only in the movie wasn't she?

You need to do some research before you start spouting stuff off.

FreezyFreezy · 29/08/2022 19:45

Don't watch it then! Put it on, plonk your dc in front of it, and you go & do something else.

I’m not offended, but everything OP has said is simply not true and just makes her look foolish.

EscapeRoomToTheSun · 29/08/2022 19:48

Acab includes paw patrol

MolliciousIntent · 29/08/2022 19:48

So don't have it in the house! I hate Peppa Pig, so DD doesn't watch it at home. You're the grown-up, just turn it off

GoldenOmber · 29/08/2022 19:48

I had a blissful few Paw Patrol-free years but my youngest is now interested in it. And now all the pups can fly, there's some superhero thing they do sometimes, Everest is still on a zero-hours contract and Marshall is still tripping over everything despite having been in the job for about ten years now.

CallmeMrsPricklepants · 29/08/2022 19:49

I've always wondered if they're paid, and if so how. Are they public sector workers or is it some kind of consultancy earning millions off exploiting the public purse for dubious 'rescue missions'?

GoldenOmber · 29/08/2022 19:51

Consultancy definitely.

Beachsidesunset · 29/08/2022 19:51

Ah-woh-oh-oh ...

Woowoowazza · 29/08/2022 19:54

I'm still traumatised from when my kids watched paw patrol and they haven't watched it in years. I hated that there was always a new season around September, which featured a super duper new vehicle and character. Which were then in the shops just in time for Christmas.

Blaze and the monster machines was better. I learned so much from Blaze.

I fucking hated bing back then and I still hate him now, the whiney little shit. I'd pay good money to see an episode of Bing when Flop finally cracks and loses his shit.

We had a DVD at one point and it got stuck on the US audio version - which is FAR worse.

Blessedbethefruitz · 29/08/2022 20:57

... at least it's not blippi ;)

SophB82 · 29/08/2022 21:27

Turn it off and put Bluey on instead Smile

SophB82 · 29/08/2022 21:27

Or Ben and Holly!

Cannot stand bluey. The parents are almost as upbeat and cheerful as bloody topsy and tim's and I always assumed they were in a cult of some kind.

Is she one of the main ones though?

I love Bluey! Can’t quite get my boy into it.
