What kids TV show drives you batty?

I hate Peppa Pig. Hate her guts. If ever there was a pig that deserved to be a bacon sandwich it's that bossy, whining, spoilt little brat. I hate her idiot brother, I hate her useless parents and I hate how much my daughter is besotted with this god forsaken show.

So anyway, what about you? Which of your children's favourites have you questioning whether day drinking is all that bad? 🍷🍹🍸

🤣🤣

My boys love postman pat and so many of the children have such grating voices and ways of speaking.

Ohwheretobegin · 27/11/2023 19:06

Bing. That voice makes me so angry.

Errolwasahero · 27/11/2023 19:08

I have gc and came on to say PP. I’m appalled at the level of children’s programmes on now.

Interested in this thread?

Bing is pretty dreadful and I don’t know if it’s on any more but when my daughter was little there was a god awful show about a family with loads of kids called Baby Jake.

PerspiringElizabeth · 27/11/2023 19:12

Bing, obviously. Having a birthday party/doing a craft/going to the zoo is not a Bing thing.

No child I know is as whiney of a shit as Bing (well maybe one) so no idea who the makers think they’re positively influencing 😵‍💫 he is SOOOOOO spoilt.

The other day Bing came on and he wouldn’t let his little brother play with him. So Flop took little one to play elsewhere and Flop played with him. Bing was then pouting that they were having fun and he was left out. Episode resolved with Bing going over and playing with Flop and brother.

So it’s ok for Bing to interrupt little brother’s game, but not vice versa?? What a shit moral!

Paw Patrol, why does it have to be so loud and shouty with the music..... I'm longing for my youngest grandchild to get bored of it.

bippityboppity87 · 27/11/2023 19:16

Blippy, Paw Patrol, Mr Tumble. My DC is 7 now so rarely watches these now thank god. We've now moved onto the Titanic, with Celen Deon's My heart will go on, which has its own personal hell

amylou8 · 27/11/2023 19:16

I'm with you OP. My kids are in their 20s and I'm still haunted by that obnoxious little pig. I was hoping it would disappear before I get grandkids.

bippityboppity87 · 27/11/2023 19:17

Also agree with Peppa Pig and Bing

Twitch45 · 27/11/2023 19:17

Does anyone remember Rhyme Rocket?

It was my worst kids TV programme ever!! I don't think it's been on for a while though...

discombobulaty · 27/11/2023 19:18

Absolutely Bing. I know what people mean about Peppa but I think little ones learn a lot from it!

AluckyEllie · 27/11/2023 19:19

I watched my first episode of peppa the other day- what fresh hell is that? Why does she snort/oink constantly? Will my toddler end up doing that 😂

babybythesea · 27/11/2023 19:23

Mine are older now thank everything merciful.
Bing would be up there. “Round the corner, not far away, mummy is
losing her shit today.’

Mr Maket. Loved the craft but it was sooo frenetic. And “Mummy, can you just pop to the craft shop and get three blue and pink peacock feathers, eleven sheets of tie-dyed tissue paper, four purple pipe cleaners, six googly eyes and two and a half tonnes of air drying clay.”
No darling because we live in the arse end of nowhere and going out for milk is a mission.
”But Mr Maker can… it only takes two seconds … look”

babybythesea · 27/11/2023 19:24

Oh and the yoga thing. Where their speech was awful, talking about themselves in the third person. “Jojo go here.” The Rage!

Samiibaby · 27/11/2023 19:25

Bloody cocomelon! My son is obsessed with it and every time I hear the introduction my ears start to bleed 😭

babybythesea · 27/11/2023 19:28

I will say however that the downside of not hearing the theme tunes blaring out every five minutes is I actually have to think about looking at a clock in the morning. No more “That’s the Octonauts - everyone eat breakfast. That’s Bing - are we all dressed? That’s Show me Show me - we’re late. Everyone get in the car. - NOW!” Mine are teenagers/nearly teens and I can’t hear what they are watching!! I have to do it myself.

IHeartGeneHunt · 27/11/2023 19:28

Bluey. I did like it but I can't stand Chili and her patronising voice, Bandit letting everyone run riot, Bluey whining all the time. I like Lucky's Dad though.

Bing.

Biff and bastard Chip - they don't even have the same accent and you want me to believe they're twins? Plus, it's shite.

Baby Jake.

Fucking Dog Squad because of the theme tune and voiceovers.

Andy and whatever the fuck he's broken and has to replace this time. Gurning dickhead. Break your own things for once, not everyone else's.

Sorry. It's been a hard bedtime.

Topsy and Tim give me the rage 😖

In the same era as the shit and also terrifying Numberjacks

stargirl1701 · 27/11/2023 19:31

Bing.

Peppa Pig was never on as DC were restricted to CBeebies until 7!

Coconutter24 · 27/11/2023 19:32

Peppa pig! I always used to watch and think what a spoilt brat. So glad my kids are older now so I don’t have to see it.

ElevenSeven · 27/11/2023 19:32

Waffle - they’re all massively annoying cunts

linziere · 27/11/2023 19:34

Messy goes to Okido is abhorrent.
Bing is a whiny little shit.

PurpleCar02 · 27/11/2023 19:35

My 4yo watches this awful show on Netflix called Kongsuni, that girl is the whiniest most boring character ever! I can’t even be in the room when it’s on 😂 she went through a Cocomelon phase too which I hated. My youngest loves Peppa but I don’t mind that!

riotlady · 27/11/2023 19:36

Topsy and Tim, why does the entire world act like they’re the second coming? The painter and decorator comes the second he’s summoned, the food delivery lady is letting them sign the form, the optometrist practically has an orgasm when Tim says the word optometrist.

ALSO WHY ARE THEY SO FUCKING HUGE THEYRE SUPPOSED TO BE AT NURSERY
