is anyone else unbearably irritated by this program? I run for the remote as soon as it starts, even my DC aren't keen on it thankfully for my ears.
Is it a complete BBC flop? Bring on more Charlie and Lola and less of the Zingcrap.

you can find alphablocks on youtube and if you change certain settings on your computer to united kingdom...

foxytocin · 28/07/2010 18:43

can't help myself

nurseryvoice · 28/07/2010 18:55

BouncingTurtle · 28/07/2010 19:42

I miss Space Pirates...

Shaz10 · 28/07/2010 20:20

Na na na na na SPACE PIRATES!

Coolfonz · 28/07/2010 20:29

Zingzilla's is bare pants. Waybuloooooo and ITNG every time, you gotta love those Goddamn mutherfuckin' Tombiliboos.

CreepyFunbags · 28/07/2010 20:31

DD only has eyes for Peppa. I try to add variety with a bit of show me show me or something special, sometimes she'll watch them, sometimes not!

Oh, I really like Elmo's world! Does nobody else watch that? Closest thing to Sesame street on tv.

I saw the advert for zingzillas and that annoyed me so we have never seen it!

katkouta · 28/07/2010 20:41

I effing hate Zingzillas, especially the bloody scatting episode...

I'm also pleased from reading this thread that my crush on Captain DJ from Space Pirates is not that unusual He is also my facebook friend a Stand up comedian

katkouta · 28/07/2010 20:44

crossy out thing not working

varicoseveined · 28/07/2010 20:58

To the OP: YADNBU!

Also can't stand:
Penelope K By the Way
Numberjacks - the Number Taker freaks DD out
Toddworld
I agree with the poster who's irritated by Tina the taxi driver in Me Too

Can't think of too many that I detest on Nick Jr at the mo, except the Lelly Kelly ads [bleurgh]

Hope Tinga Tinga Tales returns to cbeebies soon...

CheerfulYank · 29/07/2010 01:29

Kat you have to do each word like this not like this. That took me quite a few posts to figure out (last-horse-across-the-finish-line-emoticon )

Elmo's World is good..."la la la la, la la la la, Elmo's World..."

wigglemama · 29/07/2010 09:40

DS absolutely loves the Zingzillas. I don't mind it as he is music mad anyway and it keeps him entertained for a little while! I have even sky plus'ed some

My problem now is that my sister bought him a bloomin' Zingzillas guitar , so now even when they are not on TV I can still hear them singing around the house. AARRRGHHH!It doesn't have an off button either. Methinks the batteries may soon mysteriously disappear!

myweeangel · 29/07/2010 11:21

Love it as does my 9 month old daughter but wish we weren't seeing same episodes over and over and over...! More series please. It's only TV my daughter watches and it's on at great time for me making dinner. Everybody wins!

Amberc · 29/07/2010 11:43

Purplefeet - your description of zingzillas with the old guy that looks like a womble made me PMSL!

monkeysmama · 29/07/2010 12:12

I hate Zingzillas almost as much as that Rosie programme. I wake up at night with that tune ringing in my ears "Everyone's Ro-oh-oh-sie"....

The one with the funny couple making up the same song every episode is one of my favourites. I love it when they dance. I like Chris and Pui too. Chris is also on another show that must've been made twenty years ago. He is ever so young and camp.

Why do CBeebies show the same episodes all the time? This morning's "Same Smile" was on last Thursday too.

While I am ranting, can anyone explain why certain tv hosts always wear the same clothes? So I Can Cook Katie is always in the same green tshirt and my dancing woman is always in the same pink shirt. Strange.

thecoffeelady · 29/07/2010 12:17

It is one of the only things DD (26 months) watches. She has had no interest in the TV at all apart from The Gruffalo which we watched about a million times between Chistmas and Easter!

It is very slightly annoying though, but DD love music and dancing and get very excited when the big zing starts!

She also love Timmy Time and Shaun the Sheep (so do I) it means that I can finally have a wee or do the dishes without my little shadow asking me what I am doing and can she help!

I worry about Macca Pacca from In The Night Garden though, his OCD is bordering on psychotic he cleans EVERYTHING with his (questionable) uff uff and he takes a rock to bed with him, poor poor tragic little Macca Pacca.

thecoffeelady · 29/07/2010 12:19

just re read that post, and I am ashamed at my shocking typing and lack of the letter S

Amberc · 29/07/2010 12:23

Oh we love Chuggington, My DS (2.1) thinks Action Chugger is ace and flies his boats around the bath saying 'action chugger'. I hate Koko though and think Wilson is even posher than Lola!We also love numberjacks which has taken over as favourite from Dora. Zingzillas is shite - especially Drum - is she meant to be a baby or someone one sandwich short of a picnic?

Amberc · 29/07/2010 12:27

Oh and thecoffeelady, can you imagine how minging Maccapacca's sponge is? He never rinses it out!

OneTwoBuckleMyShoe · 29/07/2010 12:34

Action Chugger reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson, it is the arrogant twang in his voice i think...

Megatron · 29/07/2010 14:14

YANBU. But DD loves it more than anything in the world right now. I might like it better if bloody Panzee wasn't bloody Sarah bloody Honeybloodywell.

Megatron · 29/07/2010 14:16

I am also slightly concerned about Zak. He's deeply suspicious IMO.

Shaz10 · 30/07/2010 08:21

I've just noticed Zak's trousers. They concern me.

Shaz10 · 01/08/2010 07:33

Oh yuck how awful is that Lelli Kelli advert? Yikes!

Pigsinblankets · 01/08/2010 08:12

Zingzillas is dreadful, but as someone pointed out The Bopps on Nick Jr is possibly the worst programme ever made for children's tv. I cannot believe that anyone would commission it. I can only think that it was made as a joke.
