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?

Bits and Bobs is the one you are thinking of marjproops

I can't bear Third and Bird 'cos it reminds me of the morning sickness feeling, as does Kerwhizz.

Btw, neontetra, Dr Ranj on Get Well Soon is a real doctor, although I think his eyebrows must be fake Grin

HubbaHubbaHubbaInHoobLand · 14/04/2013 08:06

I do think The Hoobs is the best kiddies program so far!

Fred. Oh my fucking God FRED.

I can just about cope with iCarly (wall to wall iGoodbye/iRewind this last week) and I will watch Victorious just to laugh at Cat and Jade.

But Oh My Good God I am MURDEROUS when Fred comes on. That voice, the overacting, the ridiculous stories. I could KILL.

(And have you seen Marvin Marvin? Same character, just a slightly less annoying voice)

..and what is it with all these shows using the same people? Is America running out of child stars? ICarly/Victorious/Fred/Big Time Rush - they are all popping up in ExH other shows all the flaming time - it's so bloody confusing.

ditavonteesed · 14/04/2013 09:08

then they do the blend ones, so we have ivictorious, too much, so not missing them, do they make every ones eles children into gobby little american divas or is it just mine. Do you think the actor in Fred actually has that voice, if so poor kid.

LtEveDallas · 14/04/2013 09:13

Nah, he's got a normal voice in Marvin Marvin and had quite a deep voice on the Kids Choice Awards.

They don't change DD, other than have made her want to go to a Stage School and sing all.the.bloody.time

Dunkintea · 14/04/2013 09:30

Don't think it's Fred's real voice . My DS told me he was discovered on YouTube posting videos of himself and due to huge number if hits given his own show ! Hard to believe I know !
Hate all the American high school ones on Disney TBH , but have found myself watching Good Luck Charlie and realising no one else in the room !

Dunkintea · 14/04/2013 09:33

Haven't had he pleasure of seeing Marvin Mavin yet either unless I just thought it was Fred but thanks for the warning !

HappyJustToBe · 14/04/2013 09:34

Postman Pat. DH has a theory that they hired ab alternative postman years ago and just let Pat play at it to prevent him getting a job where he could hurt people with his incompetence.

For the same reason I hate Mike the Knight. He doesn't do it right FFS, he manages to fix a problem he created by not listening.

MyCatIsAStupidBastard · 14/04/2013 09:45

Jessie, bloody appalling tv for kids. We've locked the channel now so it is no longer on and giving my DD some serious bloody attitude (she needs no help).

ct148 · 14/04/2013 16:46

Bloody hate-
tree fu tom, octonauts, abney and teal, sarah and duck, baby Jake. Thankfully DS not interested in any of these ridiculously boring programmes!
We're Justin fans in this house! And zingzillas and postman Pat always popular.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 14/04/2013 17:57

What about the fresh hell that is "Suite Life " (in the hotel, the cruise and IIRC there's a film too)

YY Jessie. The little girl 'delivers' quite adult lines then you see her looking at autoqueue or prompt (so she really has no idea what she's saying) and when she screams I could cleave her skull Confused

marjproops · 14/04/2013 18:19

oh yes bits and bobs!

we actually like suite lives. except for London Tipton!

partly cos Woodys funny and partly cos i love mr Moseby. hes brilliant.

64 zoo lane was really annoying too.

and storymakers, although we liked blue cow.

ditavonteesed · 14/04/2013 20:06

ah blue cow, we loved blue cow, had forgotten all about her madness.

ditavonteesed · 14/04/2013 20:06

werent the twins off suite life ben on friends when they were younger?

MrsGeologist · 14/04/2013 20:08

Haven't read the thread yet, but Timmy Time is much improved by watching it with audio description on.

MrsGeologist · 14/04/2013 20:19

Also hate Mike the shitting Knight.

I'm surprised the villagers haven't overthrown the monarchy yet, as the queen lets her entitled, festering turd of a son do as he fucking pleases and that's mostly to their detriment.

If I were a villager, Mike would be down the village well before he could say, 'it's time to be a knight and do it right!'

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 14/04/2013 20:43

I used to love Chris Jarvis (Mr Mopple)
Can't remember the name of the programme, he was a gardener type who wore a lovely red windbreaker (and rather too much blusher) but he has a fantastic story telling voice.

IIRC "Step Inside" (or was that the one with Nurse Gladys Emmanuel and Pippin? )

marjproops · 14/04/2013 20:56

come outside was pippin and aunty mabel?

step inside was I think the gorgeous Chris jarvis.

and flippin david tennant (started a thread about him on AIBU) on flippin cbeebies too!

yes suite life twins were Ben on friends.

marjproops · 14/04/2013 20:57

posted too soon! I meant DT on mike the knight!

KatieScarlett2833 · 14/04/2013 20:59

Balafuckingmory

Wouldn't you like to go?

No I fucking wouldn't.

Queenmarigold · 14/04/2013 21:01

Ahem, rastamouse anyone?? I mean, please...

girliefriend · 14/04/2013 21:04

Oh God there is loads I hate!!! Infact I ban dd from watching cbeebies/cbbc over the weekend if i am about, I would rather she put on a film!!

the ones I hate the most are

Grandpa in my pocket - someone just stand on him pleeeease

Zingzillas (although to be fair dd also thinks this is shit!)

Abney and Teal - used to think this was alright now just find it annoying.

Bananas in pyjamas should be banned imo

Anything with Mr Tumble in.....

Jacksterbear · 14/04/2013 21:11

Special agent oso needs to die a slow, painful death. Although I have always had a thing for Sean Astin (yes, even as a hobbit Blush).

And agree with a couple of PPs re certain progs bringing back morning sickness from pgcy with dc2.. I only have to hear the theme tune for Chuggington and I start feeling nauseous!

DyeInTheEar · 14/04/2013 21:21

I hate Granny Murray from Me too and her stupid bits of "I'm so wise" advice. The woman reminds me of Kathy Bates character in Misery. That sickly sweet honey pie bollocks is just a disguise..... she's a psycho.

LilyAmaryllis · 14/04/2013 21:36

On CBBC - Bear behaving badly is like fingernails on a blackboard.

And all you who lurve Mr Bloom. Wait til you get to watch Steve Backshall of Deadly 60. Wow
