Aarrrgghh

What is it about this total brain rot that my dd's are so addicted to?

They play outside loads and are sociable etc but every chance they get to sit in front of the tv this utter shite is turned on and it's like they get hypnotised by it.

It's utter shit!

I can't think of any other kids show I have ever watched in my life that gets this reaction from me!

Tv time is pretty limited to lazy weekend mornings and winding down time at night but as soon as they get the change this rubbish is on and once again they sit like zombies mouth wide opened and ignoring everything else going on around them.

Aibu to totally ban this one show (don't want to ban tv all together) or lighten up and realise young girls like this kind of stuff?

I love i-Carly!! I want Spencer as my big brother- he's awesome!

mumnotmachine · 26/08/2012 11:34

And yabu and need to lighten up LOL!

cocolepew · 26/08/2012 11:35

Sam needs a snack. I like spencer thoughGrin

mumnotmachine · 26/08/2012 11:35

It could be Hannah-f-Montana

Shudders at the memories
Although it was never banned

BenedictsCumberbitch · 26/08/2012 11:35

God I hate it as well. Along with Victorious, Sweet Life of those stupid fucking twins Zack and Cody and Jessie.

I'm much happier when it's DS's turn to watch his programmes and I can indulge in Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Fireman Sam and Peppa Pig.

Although I am partial to a bit of Wizards of Waverley Place Blush

cocolepew · 26/08/2012 11:35

Smack not snack Blush

stoatie · 26/08/2012 11:37

Its better than "So Random" that is currently rotting my daughter's brain. Spencer is fabGrin

and as for "Good luck Charlie" - aarrggh

Adviceinscotland · 26/08/2012 11:37

None of the other american rubbish bothers me, I actually liked Hannah Montana Blush

Icarly makes me want to take my eye balls out with a spoon though!

i love icarly,

sooo much better than hannah montana crap,

nokidshere · 26/08/2012 11:44

I miss iCarly - it was so much better than the rest of the crap stuff they watch now!!!

Myliferocks · 26/08/2012 11:47

If I have to watch iCarly again I will explode!
Plus it always seems to be the same episodes on!
Same with Victorious!
Luckily my DC never watched Hannah Montana!

BenedictsCumberbitch · 26/08/2012 12:32

I could cope with Hannah Montana but why is it that these programmes are so LOUD, the screechy American voices London Fucking Tipton I'm looking at you the incidental music, the canned laughter, it's all so LOUD and in your face.

PorkyandBess · 26/08/2012 12:39

We don't have Sky, but on hols the kids watched iCarly every chance they got.

I became strangely drawn to it to.

EmptyCrispPackets · 27/08/2012 13:13

Agree, along with the Jessie and suite life Et al.

Don't mind good luck Charlie though Blush

MammaTJisanOlympicSumoWrestler · 27/08/2012 13:19

iCarly is there so I can ignore the DC and MN! Grin

Watching Jessie ATM, horrible, horrible, horrible! They are all so beautiful except the ugly Nanny who is also a horrible mean person. This gives the impression that beautiful people are good and ugly people are bad.

MrsRobertDuvallHasRosacea · 27/08/2012 13:20

It is banned in our house.
It's the canned laughter I loathe.

Mrsjay · 27/08/2012 13:22

Spencer is fab

He was crazy steve in drake and josh Grin

Mrsjay · 27/08/2012 13:25

lipsticklover69 · 27/08/2012 13:26

the question i have to ask is why are you watching it if you find it so bad??

Mrsjay · 27/08/2012 13:28

why are you watching it if you find it so bad??

cos if it is on you sort of get sucked into it

brightermornings · 27/08/2012 13:30

Even when it's on for the twenty millionth time!!

Mrsjay · 27/08/2012 13:34
