To have a love hate relationship with CBeebies??

[Amimissingsomethinghere]

It's not really a question and I'm sorry if this topic has already been done but I really need a rant with some other parents!

What programmes make you want to scratch your eyes out/confuse you/ drive you mad???

For me:

1. Topsy and Tim... what's with the weird Stepford wife mum and the super annoying dad...
2. Mollie and Mac... is that the name?! It's bloody annoying "I have an idea..." gahhhh shut up. Also why do the dad and brother look the same bloody age??
3. "It's a Bing thing..." NEED I SAY MORE????

The love part of the relationship is that obviously I rely on it heavily as a parent to stop tantrum/meltdown (have a cup of tea...)

There's a programme on amazon prime called Tumble Leaf that does funny nostalgic stuff to me when the song comes on. I don't know why. See also the outro to yo gabba gabba. We dodged the vast majority of cbeebies and I'm so glad. Kid just wasn't into it. Apart from numberblocks which is the only thing a tv license is good for (but the DVDs are cheaper so we binned it off). I feel like beebies just sets kids up to accept the awful production of BBC dramas down the line. If something is utterly naff, it's 'a bit BBC' in our house. Super safe stock actors who just about manage to get the point across while the scenery wobbles in the background. Everything just reminds me of Dr Who.

Mr fucking tumble. Terrifying. Especially when he's in drag.

Thankfully my 1 year old isn't interested in any of it so it's only on when her cousins are here.

She does however really enjoy Pointless so I'm hoping that means she will like Hey Duggee if / when she eventually gets into Cbeebies

I love Molly and Mack and it took me a while to realise that Mack and his father (didn’t know he was their dad in the beginning) were not actually a gay couple, as they do look the same age.

I miss I Can Cook and, what’s the name of the bloke in the green pick-up? Oh god I can’t remember his name. Mr Bloom!

I love Tea Cup Travels and Charlie and Lola. I’m sad they only show that once a week (although I can download it on Catch Up).

Sadly, my child is slowly switching to Nick Jr.

What I want to know is where is the rest of series 3 of hey duggee?
