I cant stand Timmy Time a
or Pingu on cbeebies. They are just stupid noises with no words! I mean what would a child learn from that shite?

And my 7 year olds are addicted to Mr feckin Bean

fossil971 · 11/04/2013 23:22

Now they are older, all those horrible CITV cartoons. Almost naked animals. yuk yuk yuk. Honestly I thought I'd be glad to see the back of CBeebies but it just gets worse.

Iamjacks - your love for mr bloom is not misplaced

Thumbwitch · 11/04/2013 23:27

Peppa Pig. Fucking winds me up, especially George's crying.

Yo Gabba Gabba. ARGH!!! (Do you get that over here? It's American but we get it in Australia)

Poroyo and many other animal-as-people cartoons, including but not restricted to Franklin, Arthur, Poroyo and some appalling one about 2 balloon-headed animal friends travelling around the world on bicycles. Again, you may not get some of them over here. Be grateful. Grin

OTOH, I really like Timmy Time - but then I like the whole Aardman collection.

MrsPeeWee · 11/04/2013 23:33

My dh always teases me when Mr Bloom is on the TV because he knows I have a huge crush on him. Blush I am so pleased to see I'm not the only one - but back off ladies, he's mine Grin

Iwaswatchingthat · 11/04/2013 23:37

I am hoping that thinking about him lots before going to sleep will inspire the dream to happen again!!! I am ashamed to admit I have even googled him - just cos I am a stalker curious person.

CheckpointCharlie · 11/04/2013 23:41

thumbwitch I love Gabba Gabba!

I don't like Lazy Town.
I do quite like Sophia the First although she is a bit too goody goody.
jake and the Neverland Pirates is a massive hit.
We used to like Little Bear and Madeline.

And I am only going by dd2s choices.

Dd1 likes all manner of stuff....

Patchouli · 11/04/2013 23:43

Tree Fu Tom - just goes on way too long and the stories are too complicated for cbeebies age group. Just... what is it all about?

Rhyme rocket.

I can cook. Makes me miss the fun of big cook little cook. Now it's all about what the grown ups think the children should enjoy. Courgette muffins! what was wrong with jelly boats?

HarrietSchulenberg · 11/04/2013 23:55

Third and Bird
Anything with Barney the dinosaur
Waybulloo
Zingzillas
Curious George used to make me want to set fire to monkeys, thank god it's finished.

Thumbwitch · 12/04/2013 00:02

BUgger. Just realised I got Pororo mixed up with Pocoyo in my hatred. I like Pocoyo, I hate Pororo. This may mean nothing to anyone other than me.
And I'm not that keen on Poco.

As an aside, why do they keep using almost the same letters for these blasted show names?

LondonKitty · 12/04/2013 00:02

Tree Fu Tom is big in this house. Ds used to copy all the 'magic' moves. Youngest used to love baby Jake. Generally I find the stuff they like grows on me (gratitude maybe because of a moment's peace?!). Except this new craze they have for Almost Naked Animals. Seriously?! Oh they are ugly little things....
(the animals I mean, my DC are lovely!!)

I dislike Zingzillas too.

Mr Bean's welcome to talk to my plants anytime...

HolidayArmadillo · 12/04/2013 00:21

Suite Life of Zak and Cunty/Suite life on deck. I have murderous thoughts about those little fuckers regularly. And don't get me started on London Tipton.

iCarly, Victorious, shake it up, Jesse. I do like a bit of Wizards of Waverley place though and I may or may not have recorded the episode where we found out who the family wizard was ...

Re ds's programmes I can tolerate Mickey Mouse, Jake Pirates and Sophia. Mouk and Doc McStuffins need a good shoeing though.

floatyflo · 12/04/2013 00:52

HEAR HEAR to flamin' shitgirl world. That fucking grub thing.

Dislike numbercraps, grime rocket and fifi and the flowersnots.

oh and..

Mr Bloom was on Emmerdale recently ish, played Katies Physio after her falling down the mine charade.

Startail · 12/04/2013 00:58

Whoever mentioned the Fimbles , I hate you.

My DDs are much older and I had forgotten the dreadful stripy pointless creatures.

Startail · 12/04/2013 01:04

help their is even a Cantonese version

Thumbwitch · 12/04/2013 01:05

MOUK! that's the bastard. Hate hate hate it. It's the voices.

Laura's Star used to set my teeth on edge too but they don't have adults doing tiny little highpitched voices now, they have children so it passes me by.

Zingzillas are scary fuckers.

Startail · 12/04/2013 01:05

There is Blush

recall · 12/04/2013 01:11

Special agent ozo

peppa pig

that american monkey?..depressing shit

number jacks?.dont like the ginger bearded baddie?.too fucked up

Schooldidi · 12/04/2013 01:13

Dd1 is older now but she used to watch Rosie and fucking Jim at every possible opportunity.
Then we had a Pony Club phase (if you've never had the misfortune of watching it, it's a sickly sweet Australian girls programme - truly awful)

Dd2 now watches ITNG and every evening I have to leave the room and let dp watch it with her. I HATE it!!!!

sarahandemily · 12/04/2013 01:17

That one where they all have to go to nanny Murray's (who is only about 40 and clearly no-ones nanny!). They are all a bit weird and it has a v. Annoying theme tune. Reminds me if last summer when dd was up at 5.30 every day and it was the first thing on cbeebies. Gives me the willies just thinking about it

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 12/04/2013 01:31

Barney Christmas videos- my DS loved them.
Barney Waiting for Santa/Christmas Star/Night Before Christmas.
Aaah.

Blots from memory having to drive DS as a toddler to Lakeside to see Barney at his Roadshow.

I walked round with my very new DD in her pram. Aaah memories.....Smile

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 12/04/2013 01:32

Camp Orange anyone?

I'd have given them a plate of widgetty grubs and a plate of crocodile anuses then left it to the Survival of the Fittest.

marjproops · 12/04/2013 18:07

granny murray prog too. it looks mucky for some reason, a poor mans versions of balamory.

i cant stand mr bloom and thankfully nor can DC.

mister maker, only cos the shapes are really annoying with thier stupid noises.

and that one with the 'if you dont know and i dont know'....cant remember what its called but it was on years back.

and third and bird.

thankfully DCs more into cbbc now. a few annoying progs there though. yy who let the dogs out too.

DoctorAnge · 12/04/2013 18:17

Mr Boom is damn hawt

The worst thing I watched was Little Charlie fucking bear. Truly pointless.

marjproops · 12/04/2013 19:40

I just cannot see the appeal of mr bloom. i really cant.

Fit on cbbc annoys me. i want to like it but i just dont find it funny. DC likes it, thats what important. there are a couple of guys on it that remind me of the brilliant Jim and Ben on horrible histories but theyre just not them and not funny.

which reminds me. big cook little cook. the most annoying prog EVER.
