I know I'm not. Dora the Explorer is the most annoying show. Even more annoying than Mike the Knight

WTF is this show? Hmm

It's like a sodding computer game. And Swiper? Eh?

I would honestly rather watch three hours of Mike the Little Shit Knight than this.

I hate my MIL for buying this DVD.

At least you can tune out Night Garden. You can't Dora!

Love In the Nightgarden! (My DCs are too old but I have find memories)

Worse nightmare: Bob the frigging builder with that constantly wimpy, wussy, fussy, scared digger. Wanted to nuke Bob's entire town.

Still do.

LOLeater · 17/07/2014 18:25

Sorry - like Dora ESP the backpack!

playftseforme · 17/07/2014 18:26

I love In the Night Garden Grin - watched in the hope of one day figuring out why the ninky nonk could change size. And I love the title music

EnglishGirlApproximately · 17/07/2014 18:26

I thought 'Me Too' was the worst programme ever until I came across Rabbids. I had to mute it it was driving me nuts, horrible animation, horrible noise. I can't wait for winter so Ds stays asleep until 8am and we can go straight out , early morning kids tv is killing me.

playftseforme · 17/07/2014 18:26

Naah, Dora's backpack is second rate to Diego's rescue pack which sings a funky Latin tune

KnackeredMuchly · 17/07/2014 18:31

No.

NO .

The most annoying show us Zingzillas. By a bloody landslide.

ithoughtofitfirst · 17/07/2014 18:31

What happened to big and small?

My son LOVED big and small.

TheWoollybacksWife · 17/07/2014 18:33

Thanks a bunch. I'm now having flashbacks to the Christmas that DD2 was 18 months old and had noro. The only time she was happy was watching a Teletubbies DVD. The episodes had films about Christmas traditions around the world. The song that went with a Scandinavian log ritual gave me an ear worm that lasted months. Angry

KittyandTeal · 17/07/2014 18:35

Um...I present to you Waybuloo.

Nothing more needs to be said.

I'd happily gouge out those stupid giant eyes

Thurlow · 17/07/2014 18:35

I can put up with Zingzillas, though I agree they are freaky arsed oddities. DD adores them and it's quite cute watching her make DP play 'Time For the Big Zing!!!!"

Big and Small is still on sometimes.

ITNG... I always wondered, if you watched it while off your absolute tits on serious drugs, would it then make sense?

Angelto5 - You'll be overjoyed to hear that they're re-making the Teletubbies.

(shudder)

millionsofpeaches · 17/07/2014 18:36

YABU Mike the knight is so much worse the little shit bag. But by far the worst is Me Too. Granny Murray can fuck off and what is with the train buffet/am dram bloke being dressed as a pimp all the time? Do find it quite funny that the kids who are supposed to be the children of the various people always look a bit scared of them and like they're thinking you're not my dad!

Floggingmolly · 17/07/2014 18:38

I agree with you, angelto5, but guess what? They're coming back...
In full glorious technicolor CGI!! God knows why.

HaroldLloyd · 17/07/2014 18:40

We watch this, and we have to role play. I am Swiper, DS1 is Dors and DS2 is boots.

He's started to talk in that American accent though, is that a poooond mom etc.

I don't mind it!

wigglesrock · 17/07/2014 18:40

Max & Ruby - I can't even begin to describe the awfulness and where are the bloody parents? Yes that's right those evil little rabbits have done away with them. Dora is idyllic compared to them.

Angelto5 · 17/07/2014 18:41

Nnnnooooo.
I think I'll definitely be avoiding the new Teletubbies.
Thankfully there are more children's channels to choose from now than there was when Teletubbies were about.

Thurlow · 17/07/2014 18:42

Actually Charlie and Lola fuck me off too. Again, where are the parents?!

OP posts:
FrozenAteMyDaughter · 17/07/2014 18:44

Nope, I see your Dora (and everything else) and I raise you....Ruby from Max and Ruby. I would cheerfully become a bunny boiler if I ever came across her in real life. Her whiny voice makes me want to run screaming from the house. DD loves that programme too, but she is starting to have sympathy on me and put on Fireman Sam instead. Even bloody Norman Thingummy is better than sodding Ruby.

FrozenAteMyDaughter · 17/07/2014 18:45

x-post wiggles Grin. I quite like the Granny actually. Mainly becuase she puts Ruby in her place occasionally.

DomesticSlobbess · 17/07/2014 18:49

I actually don't mind Dora. We rarely watch it but DS likes it.

I fucking hate Rolie Polie Olie, which looks like it's drawn using Microsoft Paint. And cannot stand Mr fucking Bloom.

SarahAndFuck · 17/07/2014 18:50

I quite like the little mariachi band insects on Dora.

But Squiglet has to die!

wigglesrock · 17/07/2014 19:05

Smile FrozenAteMyDaughter

WhispersOfWickedness · 17/07/2014 19:27

You're all wrong, Old Jack's Boat makes me want to boil my own head. Luckily the DC agree Grin
I quite like Topsy and Tim Blush I was irrationally narked when they had a series break when they were supposed to be moving house and I had to wait months to see the new one Blush

KnackeredMuchly · 17/07/2014 19:39

Oh no! I love Squiglet!
