I quite fancy one of them.

Why am I admitting this?

One of them (I think the one with the white coat) reminds me of The Hoff...but yeah it is rubbish.

DS (2.6) really objects to it, he actually cried yesterday and begged me to switch it off

The animal character with the long nose (not sure what it is?) makes me feel sick
Shame as they could have made something good on a rhyming theme but I dont think its been done well. reminds me of space pirates which also makes me feel sick!

I love Space Pirates. Rhyme Rocket is a pile of poo though. Ds2 (3) hates it too.

YANBU. caught the end of it yesterday with DS (2) it was rubbish!

inneedofsanity · 14/06/2012 10:21

Now Horrible Histories on the other hand...
Mmmmm!

It sort of creeps me out a bit. I just feel a bit unsettled and pissed off by it.

The Clangers used to do the same. Likewise Abney and Teal. It's like there's something within the internal universe/logic of the show that just doesn't agree with me.

On the other hand then you have something like Big and Small or Show Me Show Me and I just GET it, the characters are sweet and fun and the stuff they get up to makes sense.

I realise the above makes me sound like a complete weirdo!

wilderumpus · 14/06/2012 12:12

it is utter shit. It makes me cringe, physically cringe - the rhymes grate, the men are gurning twats and the set is shite.

My DS (2.5) loves it :(

love abney and teal!

YANBU. I searched mumsnet for a thread as I just knew there'd be others out there who feel the same as I do.

The whole set up of the programme feels very dated (almost 80's/90's), the show just doesn't seem to make any sense (although I've yet to make it through an entire episode without having to switch over/leave the room) and I've no idea what age group it's meant to be aimed at.

Shame as the concept is quite a good one and I kind of expected better of Michael Rosen and the other poets involved.
