Waybuloo versus Abney and Teal

[Jonny69]

To feel that the all saucer eyed homunculi and nara bugs of Waybuloo have less warmth and worth than even the smallest poc poc of Abney and Teal ?
The choice is between a saccharin infused computer generated phantasmagoria OR "living in the park on an island". God I love islands! Unfortunately my small girl likes both.....

I like the noise the little wooden things make.

I want to puncture those Waybuloo things.

DS likes Abney and Teal. A few days ago, he got his hands on a few cashews and immediately declared that they were the Pok Poks and then he went outside and played in the plant pots with them.

It was very cute.

Waybupoo as my DS calls it. no idea where he gets that sort of rude word play from

Abney and Teal is lovely. I like the noise of the pok poks

Waybuloo would be good if the yoga session lasted longer than 60 seconds. There's not enough time to get into a pose, even my kids have a longer attention spans than that.

Abney & Teal here, DD adores Neep and pretends to be him. She finds him hilarious

I like Bop, personally :)

Waybaloo is a bag o' shite, neither I or DD like it

I spend the entire time wondering what the poc pocs are - deformed conkers? Wooden ornaments sized like russian dolls but dont nest?

WHAT?!

I'm so thick. DS has only just got into tv (we've got a new baby, so I got him a new babysitter ). It's been on in the background and I said earlier 'i keep seeing the same episode over and over, the one where they're making portidge' what a div, didn't realise they always make porridge

I think it's nice to see a bit of a city, albeit in the background, the other programmer all seem a bit bucolic, waybuloo, the nigh garden, that fella with the slopey mouth and vegetables.

There is an Abney and Teal website with a forum and some mad people have MADE their own Poc Pocs because they can't wait for the official merchanise.

Katy but there isn't a lake in Haggerston Park is there? (used to live in Haggerston. In that big, red-brick ex-LCC estate between Kingsland Rd and Haggerston Rd to be precise...)

Whereas Waybuloo just reminds me of the plastic woo bollocks of Glastonbury, where I also lived for a brief period...

WHAT ARE THE POC POCS? Aaaaaargh.....

Abney and Teal is too try-hard hipster.

Waybuloo is off with the fairies, and by no means the best of CBeebies efforts, but I find it more straightforward and happy than A&T.

DS2 loves both, but I far prefer A&T for its old-fashioned Postgate-ness. I think Bop is a manatee. Also, I want some Poc Pocs. I hope if they merchandise them they are lovely real polished wood ones that make a genuine pocking sound, not an electronic recording. I'd love a set of them, preferably in a red-velvet lined display case!
Waybuloo drives me mad with its endless music with that constantly unresolving melody.

for me, the hook of Abney and Teal seems very much aimed at the adults watching with children. My DD (2) does not show the slightest interest in it. Whereas we (she) love the pipplins and whilst the language and some of the dubbing is a little dubious she tries to do the yogo and dances to the music.
