I actually hate the two guys, their fake excitement makes me want to throw things at the TV. DH thinks I'm nuts.

Anyone else feel similar?

I even hate the sodding adverts for it

lol i would jump on officer ditty :) but i do hate rhyme rocket.

whats everyones problem with everythings rosie??

CatchTheFox · 14/08/2012 22:09

Tell you what is good though, and that's Numtums. I even have a favourite Numtum (number 4). It's a future classic, I like how all the kid's voice overs are Northern

Then there's the cruel and unusual punishment that is JUSTIN'S HOUSE. Gajhhhhhhhhh.

BonnieBumble · 14/08/2012 22:10

I'm not a melon I'm a lemon. I'm not a lemon I'm a melon. I'm not a melon I'm a lemon. I'm not a lemon I'm a melon. Melon, lemon, melon, lemon, melon, lemon, melon, lemon, melon... Aarrrggh Angry

theidsalright · 14/08/2012 22:34

Yanbu! DS (3) thinks its RYAN rocket and that Ryan is the main dude. He loves it and insists "it's not rubbish mum!" When I protest!

NewlyMintedPeasant · 14/08/2012 22:34

I don't like the engine Thomas has grown up into. He used to get into trouble, now everything's always fine however arrogant he is and however many he hurts. Just a quick acknowledgement he's learnt a lesson. Urgh.

Nothing though is as bad as waybuloo and yogo, I feel like shouting 'speak properly!!!!!!!!!!' I'm a SENCO and often rant with the speech therapist who shares my feelings on it.

NewlyMintedPeasant · 14/08/2012 22:36

Oh and the woman who presents milkshake TV and seems unhinged with the make-up, permasmile and kids clothing. Scary

lalaloopylou · 14/08/2012 22:45

Rhyme rocket makes me laugh they're so over the top
I hate nina and her bloody neurons and don't start me on katie from I can cook

plutocrap · 14/08/2012 22:56

I like Nina! She has a very musical voice, and seems genuinely happy to see the children with their "excellent question"! Smile

lalaloopylou · 14/08/2012 23:13

I think its the bunches in her hair! And baby bud annoys the hell out of me!
Katie from I can cook is a contender in the gurning!

EugenesAxe · 14/08/2012 23:17

Everything's Rosie.... I don't know. I think it's just dull. And I have a bit of an issue with the nasal, borderline-US sound of "Raffles and Bluebird!" in the song.

Numtums! Yes how could I forget. Drumming with the Numtums is brilliant. And that chick's voice isn't quintessentially British either, but I love it. It's really funky - like the segue: "...saaambaddy else's - gaaaaaaaiiiiii-hihihihi-hi-aye; oh yeah!"

lalaloopylou · 15/08/2012 08:44

Also the tweenies, bella is so spoilt and fizz is way too high pitched for this time of morning , her cry annoys me more than my own DCs

5madthings · 15/08/2012 08:55

i dont like rhyme rocket really, ds4 seems to tho and tbf some of the guests are ok.

justins house is loved by ds4 and dd, they both like i can cook tho... which i hate, seriously katie makes me feel murderous!

LilyCocoplatt · 15/08/2012 08:56

I love the numtums too, I wish they would bring numtums cuddly toys out as DD would love one.

Also hate Mike the Knight, he is a complete arsehole to his sister and friends but somehow always ends up looking like the good guy?

JammySplodger · 15/08/2012 09:00

We love the Numtums, especially Numtum 6, and I reckon they could easliy take the Rhyme Rocket crew in a fight.

KittyMcAllister · 15/08/2012 09:14

The one thing I cannot stand is Woolly & Tig, such an annoying little brat! Don't mind Raa Raa, quite like Driver Dan (about from the lame 'show me the story' bit).

MrsChemist · 15/08/2012 09:15

I bet if the rhyme rocket crew stopped gurning for just a second, they'd be attractive young chaps.

I'm growing to like Katy, she seems more relaxed in the most recent series.

MammyToMany · 15/08/2012 09:29

Oh noooo its on

tinkcantwaittomove · 16/08/2012 16:58

I luv too and so do my dds
I think red assisant is hot

Frossi81 · 26/11/2012 14:03

HILARIOUS THREAD! Grin Totally agree with most comments. Its definitely love/hate!

I have worked with young children for 15+ years and have acted as daft and "over enthusiastic" as these 2 guys for 10 hour days and for, I'm sure, much less money. I have a massive amount of respect for them being able to do it in front of a group of adults, without an actual child audience.

Some of it definitely OTT and cringing from an adult perspective, especially like most have said the "10...9...8...!" Confused but my little one loves it so they're obviously doing something right for the target age group.

fryingpantoface · 26/11/2012 14:26

I clicked on this thread thinking "my God, me too!"

Then I realised that I started it. Whoops!Blush

Ummofumbridge · 26/11/2012 14:30

I find one of them attractive Blush.
I find the other gurning one repulsive and can't bring myself to watch it. Luckily the girls don't like it either so I can watch peppa turn it over.

I think most of the kids tv is shite. My DC love Thomas, Mr Tumble, ITNG, Tweenies, Peppa pig, Ben and Holly and umizoomi.

Oh and now and again we catch teletubbies and they are amazed by it.

bondigidum · 26/11/2012 14:57

Oh yanbu. It is horrid. The less attractive looking guy drives me nuts with his ridiculous constipated faces and the fact he's chuffing simple. He's a five year old in an adults body, he makes me cringe. The more attractive of the two (you have to know which I mean by that) is a bit less annoying, his faces aren't as OTT but still slightly irritating.

hiviolet · 26/11/2012 15:26

What pisses me off most is there can't be many more than 12 episodes in total, but it's on every weekday! I've seen each episode at least three times each.

Yes, CBeebies is on way too much in this house.

Sirzy · 26/11/2012 15:28

DS loves it unfortunatly. I do try to avoid it as much as possible though!

Doingakatereddy · 26/11/2012 15:33

and I'm the one in charge - I have no reasonable idea why this pisses me off that the female character insists on over stating her authority - but it does.

Im pretty sure she reminds me of DS's nursery manager, who prefaces every conversation with 'I'm the manager'. I feel like responding 'that's nice dear, now fuck off & let me discuss xyz with keyworker who is 10 years younger & 50 iq points above you'.
