Not to let 2 year old ds watch Peppa pig?

[Nameisthegame]

I have Netflix and there’s big images of Peppa pig and he keeps asking to watch it but I’ve only heard bad things about it. Is it really that bad ? I’m torn because I personally think I’d hate sitting through it and have heard it’s pretty bad animation and Peppa shows unpleasant behavior with a positive resolution, we currently watch things like puffin rock etc...

For those of you who's kids love Peppa Pig and have an Amazon Alexa, I've put together a Peppa Quiz on Alexa. One quiz per day, 5 multiple choice questions per quiz. There are over 120 questions so enough variety to last a few weeks

"Alexa, play Peppa Pig Quiz"

or enable via -> Clicky

It's in the "kids" category so you need to have Kids skills enabled on Alexa, you can do this on the Alexa app if you haven't already.

Make sure you watch the Grampy Rabbit with the cheese episode. Top British humour at its finest.

Ummmm what? It’s just a cartoon pig - it is fine of course. My 2 year old watches it and I’m middle class and educated and everything.

[strugglingwithdeciding]

It's fine it's a kids cartoon , pepos is a bit annoying at times but that's it

Not only is Teletubbies still being aired at 6.30am weekdays, but they've somehow had babies: the Tiddlytubbies. I discovered this just the other day. I don't know who shagged who.

Lala used Dipsy's Tinky Winky.....

Ben and Holly is made by the same people and miles better!

The thing is with Peppa, once you Have opened the floodgates, it’s impossible to go back.

What was the one with the Puppets on the barge boat??

[IncrediblySadToo]

If you want bratty - watch Charlie & Lola. Makes peppa look like an angel

[ArgumentativeAardvaark]

Another one that I really like and which hasn’t been mentioned is Raa Raa The Noisy Lion. It was only on BBC when we watched but might be out there somewhere. Nice little stories with humour, good animation and gentle lessons learned.

A different type of thing that my son loved was Milkshake Music Box, in which the presenters teach the words of nursery rhymes and then dress up and do a fun version. It’s on YouTube. The singing and dancing is very high standard.

Nanny0gg Duggee is a gift for all!

Alas, I'm currently watching Bing - who I will concede is very relatable sometimes 🥴

[Nanny0gg]

@raviolidreaming my 9 year old grandson was watching Hey Duggee with his little sister and got all excited when he realised it was a take-off of Scooby Do!

[CloudyVanilla]

Oh yes twirlywoos! Excellent show

[CloudyVanilla]

What I like about teletubbies is the bit where they go and visit the children doing stuff, and then they repeat that a second time :)

[Mypathtriedtokillme]

Peppa looks like a 13 year old’s graffiti of cock and balls. (That image is never leaving you)

I’m not a Peppa fan.
Bing is a whinging shit.

But I like:
Twirlywoos
Hey Duggee
Bluey is a huge hit in our house. It’s funny, lovey and we play the games

[MinorArcana]

Bing is just full of one bad decision after another. Every time I see it I’m wondering what Bing’s going to do wrong today. I can’t think of a single Bing episode where everything’s fine all the way through.

[Frankola]

Oh I forgot Timmy Time. That's quite wholesome.

I refuse to do teletubbies. It teaches children nothing at all. They dont even speak english.

[Frankola]

Peppa is a total brat.
That being said, she's not bratty enough for a child to really pick up on. Just for parents to want to drop kick...

Hey Dugee is so much better.

My daughter loves Peter Rabbit too. Hes a bit of a dick but Benjamin and Lily balance him out.

For the love of god dont watch Bing.

[Caplin]

God I loved Peppa Pig, and Ben and Holly. There was so much adult humour tucked away in it. Loved it when they went into Daddy pig’s office

[Chattycatty]

Love the bing bong song and also Mr bull and mr wolf although I hate peppa she needs a slapped leg as my gran would say

[ArgumentativeAardvaark]

As you keep mentioning Spanish, you’ve presumably already found Pocoyo? It’s originally Spanish and great. The earlier episodes were dubbed into English by Stephen Fry.

Yakka Dee is fun for speech and Numberblocks is absolutely brilliant.

Having seen all the Peppa merchandising around before I had DS, I was expecting it to be rubbish and annoying but I genuinely love it. The writing is really clever, the characters and narrator speak so clearly and it is basically spot-on observational comedy about British family life. I’m not sure why people are getting so hey up about Peppa remarking on Daddy Pig’s fat tummy- he does have a fat tummy?! Surely better to point it out than allow him (and kids) to think his unhealthy lifestyle is acceptable ?

You wanted one about being kind to animals- look for the episodes with the vet in them, Dr Hamster I think it is.

I love the one where Daddy Pig goes by train to inspect a block of concrete in some Easter European country and they treat him like engineering royalty. Or the one when Mummy volunteers to go to soft play. I’ll be sad when he grows out of Peppa.

[CloudyVanilla]

Oh and sorry- Timmy Time and Shaun thr Sheep are fantastic!!
