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

[Thurlow]

WTF is this show?

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.

Dora's cousin Diego makes me want to throw something at the TV.

It's the voice, and the fact that he is so overly enthusiastic and energetic, not to mention the fact that he encourages the viewer to make noises and scream louder and LOUDER

Borntofolk. I loathe barney. It isn't so much the dinosaur. He's just normal level kids' tv irritating. It's the awful, grown in vats, smiley children on it. I just cannot cope with them.

Power rangers is the worst children's television programme ever. The low production values are unbelievably offensive and it has the most awful effect on all children. It's inexcusable.

We love octonauts in this house though.

What tortoise says - Dora's been around for more than a decade and she was the first Hispanic Female central character. I think it came from the USA. As a little bonus your dc do pick up a bit of Spanish too!

Vamanos!
thank fuck I don't have to watch cartoons anymore

Octonauts is excellent!

I always wonder how Carrie doesn't break her ankle jumping in those stupidly high heels.

Grandpa in my pocket is horrendous dross but it lodges "boom-a-boom whoop zing-zoo" in my head regularly. Poor Jemima being clearly such a 2nd rate grandchild as she's the only one not in on the secret.

God - is Dora still going....... really....?? mind you I still remember rojo, verde, azul and wondering why they never did orange or yellow... then realizing they were hard to say.....

we watched lots of "Corduroy" and "The Backyardigans"

Everything's Rosie? Everything's Wanky more like. As for Way'bullshit'oo, I am so glad my DS is beginning to say he's too old for CBeebies. He does sing along to the theme tune of "Carrie and David's COB shop" very nicely though (possibly a midlands thing).

If it's not Gigglebiz, Old Jack's Boat (for the view of Staithes), or the bit in the Nightgarden when Iggle Piggle falls over, it can F right off my telebox!

Not one person has mentioned the fecking bain of my life.

Thomas you little condescending asshole engine.

My almost 3yo DS loves him and all his asshole friends... speaking of which... Why are there so fecking many of them and they cost a bloody fortune too. There are easily 40 characters. Easily. Why would such a small island need so many trains? I've never seen them carry more than 6 passengers ffs.

Aside from that I hate zingzillas, balamory etc.

Quite like peppa and lola (who are v realistic imo (bar the talking pig part, obvs)). Also like chuggington. Don't see the point of tree fu Tom (they are insects, leave them alone tom, it's weird) but boys love doing the actions.

I don't hate mike that much either. Yes he's a twat but a lot of people are twats. Again with the realism.

I'm at my most misanthropic when watching kids' TV. Bananas In Cunting Pyjamas actually make the hairs on my neck bristle in apoplectic rage.

Am I really the only person who actually quite likes Zingzillas? I like seeing all the different instruments and types of music - s'educational, innit?

The true bane of my life is Querwhizz, though - the voices set my teeth on edge.

Wait till they get older and it's "adventure time" and "total drama island". You'll be saying "come back Dora. All is forgiven" sob

Yes, I'm in a special kind of hell - the youngest is enthralled by the previously mentioned evil double act of Max & Ruby and the older two watch Sam & Cat and reruns of iCarly. However the nadir of their watching habits is H2O - just add water. So much bad acting and hair flicking.

Thank fuck someone else has seen the weird milkshake dance thing, only seen it once when slightly hungover and thought I was still drunk

How is it allowed?!

I have bought DD a shitload of little princess DVDs and even watch them alone sometimes. She is awesome.

Max and Ruby...by far the worst show on TV, she is so condescending. Drive me insane! FFS, it just came on.
also hate Peppa pig with a passion. At least they have short episodes.
Special agent Oso wants to make me run screaming from the room.
I agree with bananas in pyjamas - they are just weird.

I am sure there are lots more.

Topsy and Tims mummy is having a secret affair with Max Branning? Bet that would wipe the smile of irritating dads face!

BornToFolk DEFINITELY Barney - as if his irritating, whiny drone wasn't enough, he's surrounded by the most sickly, overtrained stage school kids who drive me INSANE.
Dora is intolerable, but reasonably resourceful, so if I had to save one in a fire, Barney wouldn't stand a chance.
My 5yo DD loves animals and therefore adores Diego. And as she just randomly got a 5 point answer on Pointless by naming a breed of penguin she saw on Go Diego Go, I'm willing to put up with it as she's obviously learning from it.

Oh, and don't get me started on Special Agent OSO. All that technology, an entire intelligence team, and he can't even tie his bloody shoelaces without help.

Clearly none of you have ever seen Angels of fucking Jarm...and I warn you, you don't want to.

It's a channel 5 one, and it's unremittingly awful. Religious programmes for pre-schoolers, full of the most awful racial and religious stereotypes, with horrible animation. It is the work of a deranged mind.

I loathe it with a passion.

Aside from that I hate Waybuloo, Everything's Posey, The Beeps and Rhyme Rocket - the gurning? Oh lord, the gurning, but more than that, THE NOSTRILS. AND THEY AREN'T POEMS.

We've moved on to Scooby Doo and I can only thank God.

I love Waybuloo, it's so zen.

Can't stand Grandpa or Salty Dog.

I don't mind Dora, but why in the name of actual fuck have Netflix only got two seasons of it? Do you know how many times I've watched those two seasons? I can't find ones of the same format on YouTube either.

I love Bubble Guppies! Except it should be Puppy Guppy not Bubble Puppy, and it annoys me when they have fires. Underwater. I may have mentioned this a few too many times, my 3 year old now says it for me

Dora irritates me, although I do love Swiper. And I did cherish the look on my MIL's face when at 2 my son counted to 10 up the stairs in English and down in Spanish

I cannot stand curious george, just gives me rage- like when they sent him into space and he is too busy pissing about to actually do what he is up there for
mike is just sodding annoying, and thomas is a lot more whingey than I remember. And postman bloody pat can sod off, im surprised anyone in greendale actually gets their sodding mail the amount of time he spends dicking about

Caillou. That is all.

I'm the map I'm the map I'm the map I'm the map I'm the MAP

Both dd's are regularly to be heard shouting "oh mannnnnnnnn" a la swiper. Yanbu

YANBU. Dora is bloody annoying, why do they think watching a computer game is a good idea? Mind you, Barney and Me Too are pretty close in awfulness!
