Surreal rubbish! I don't get it!

I think it is sweet and innocent and lovely. There's far, far worse on Cbeebies (Justin's House, Dirtgirl World, Kerwhizz, Grandpa in my Pocket, ugh).
I also loved Come Outside, and have seen a few episodes of Old Jack's Boat, that is nice too. I guess I like the old-style / nostalgic ones.

A&T was DS's favourite when it first came on. He is 5 now and a bit old for it but he still likes to watch it when he's tired or under the weather. We have 40-odd episodes on the Sky box and I just can't bring myself to delete any of them.

i don't like it because of abney's creepiness. and big baby ds1 is scared of bop or whatever its name is.

  1. The poc poc things are apple pips, Shirley?
  1. Can't watch Grandpa any more as a) it's pants and b) it's Even More Wrong now the original kid has hit puberty (or been hit by it, more like, quite strongly over the head by the look of it).

I thought the poc pocs were little garlics.

Can't bear Grandpa.

Love Swashbuckle. I like Mr Maker too, but only because he reminds me of a friend.

it's DS 5's favourite show. I don't care if I like it not cos its not aimed at me, innit?

schmalex · 08/02/2014 06:31

My 2yo DS loves it, apart from the episode where Abney gets covered in mud and everyone thinks he's a monster. That terrified poor DS and we had to turn it off! He couldn't stop talking about monsters afterwards...

Neep is also his fave character (seems a popular choice!)

Misspixietrix · 08/02/2014 06:31

DCs love it!

Optimist1 · 08/02/2014 08:05

I thought the pocpocs were shallots?? (And will never be able to look at Bop again now he's been identified as a turd!)

We all love Abney and Teal in our house! DS thinks its the best TV programme ever, although Sarah and Duck runs a very close second. We got him a cuddly Neep for Christmas and he adores it! At least it's not that bloody awful Kerwhizz, anyway Confused

LoveBeingCantThinkOfAName · 08/02/2014 08:35

Hate it with a passion

Supertex there is a Neep toy. We have it, complete with sound effects. Ours was from Amazon.

I love Abney and Teal! DS2 is a bit old for it now, but we used to watch it curled up on the sofa together - he knew how much I liked it, so he used to toddle through, tell me it was on, and then get the sofa ready for us both [smile

Our son loves it- sorry. We’ve had to buy the dvd now it’s been replaced by creepy moon and me

Moon and Me is a gateway to Satanism. Mr Onions overuse of his 'Onions!' catchphrase may very well start the Apocalypse.
