I HATE HATE HATE Me Too on Cbeebies. It is soooo annoying! Granny Murray is an idiot and everyone else is just weird! Also I hate the new Fireman Sams, they are just awful. Why mess with Norman Price? He was the best character!

Do dd and I watch too much TV? Yes, I think we do!!

I can't stand Barnaby Bear,COme Outside, Blue Bloody Cow and I've taken a real dislike to that freaky wizard cook that comes on after the Wiggles are finished...is it Bubble and Squeak? Simply horrid.

I love the Wiggles and Balamory. DH likes to watch The Fairies. I wonder why.....

fortyplus · 13/03/2007 00:25

Freckle - Absolutely with you re: Dick & Dom and Tracy Beaker. I loathe them. Fortunately ds2 age 11 is now too mature & sophisticated for D&D.

starz78 · 13/03/2007 10:55

I HATE Maggie and the Ferocious Beast (or as ds1 calls it the rocious beast )and Little Bear Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Love the Wonderpets, "whats going to work? Teeeeeeam work". Also like Peppa Pig.

Aufish · 13/03/2007 18:15

Aufish's blokey here... this post is right up my street..

Ok folks here goes:

Tots TV - if there's ever been anything that has ever made me want to nuke another country it's the french "thing" on that

Barney - may not be extinct.... certainly should be

Teletubbies - said it at the time still say it now... "WTF"

Hi 5 - don't ever let the descendants of convicts make kids tv.... they are simply getting revenge on us for deporting their ancestors...

Dora - 2 words for her and the second is either off or you... first word is the same either way

Underground Ernie / Gordon the garden gnome.... simply something wrong about Alan Titchmarsh/Gary Lineker voicing kids programs - it's simply nothing like the quality voice overs we used to get as kids - willo the wisp by Kenneth Williams... Trapdoor by Willie Rushton and of course Dangermouse by David Jason..

Balamory, I have a good slapping waiting for each and every one of the people on that scottish island.... I think that they should all be relocated to that Scottish island that has anthrax on it.... would make for a good episode, where archie tries to invent some kind of gasmask from 2 plastic cups and some plasticine he has managed to get miss hoolie to give him, whilst PC plum comes out of the closet and turns up wearing his gimp mask to protect him from the toxic spores...

Sesame street - I know it's an old one but i think it should be in association with the letters F U C K O F and F... Big Bird should be plucked basted and put at gas mark 6 for 3 hours..... should help cure 3rd world hunger...

The fimbles / roly mo show - something kind of strange about roly mo.... I get the impression that he's some kind of mole paedophile...

Boogie beebies - a pure example of why care in the community should be scrapped

Button moon -being re shown on nick jr- just 10 words for button moon no no no no no no no no and no

Any of the US kids comedy soap drama thingies - Dross from start to finish

On the other hand there are some superb kids TV shows:

Shiny Show - the 3 of them sit there taking the piss out of each other -sheer class on any level.

Shaun the Sheep - INSPIRED CARTOON COMEDY

Whizz Whizz Bang Bang - crap name great show

mrsgenehunt · 13/03/2007 20:33

Shaun the Sheep is a big hit, with me that is

mumonstrike · 14/03/2007 14:16

i hate me too! granny murry should be shot! and teletubbes ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh on and i like what aufish said about roly mole!!! pmsl at that!

Crazydazy · 14/03/2007 14:19

All of them, thats why we have just bought sky extra, so they can have sky on in their room.

mumto3girls · 14/03/2007 14:24

yeah peodophiles are really funny aren't they..FFS!!!

mumonstrike · 14/03/2007 16:33

sorry mumof3girls i didnt mean it like that, just at the mole bit.

mummydoc · 14/03/2007 16:57

another vote to get rid of tweenies , but love bobinogs particularly the fat one with his little t-shirt that doesn't quite cover his tummy....

Aufish · 14/03/2007 17:06

Aufish here, my other half did not mean the mole remark as in the way alot of people think he did. He would not intentionally upset people in that way as he knows he would have got a complete bollocking from me as a victim of a sick person. He meant it in the form of how he says hello, it is just a very creepy way. Sorry if it has upset people but honestly he did not mean it.

mumto3girls · 16/03/2007 18:30

Perhaps I overeacted - sorry...

staceym11 · 16/03/2007 18:53

is it just me or is justin off of cebeebies the most annoying person in the world? and possibly be on the paedophile list?!

Greensleeves · 16/03/2007 18:54

I loathe The Shiny Show. Cheap shit. And the cat is an obnoxious bully.

staceym11 · 16/03/2007 18:56

having said that i do like something special, just cant stand justin!

pinkchampagne · 16/03/2007 18:59

I can't bear Barney!!!

Mercy · 16/03/2007 19:01

Stacey, I think your comment re Justin was inapproriate.

However, I hate

Shiny Show
Bits and Bobs
Numberjacks (freaks me out)
Roly Mo

In fact quite a lot of Cbeebies progs. A lot of it cheap, uminaginative bollocks.

Mercy · 16/03/2007 19:03

and I can't spell/type

Forgot to add

Hilltop Hospital - which is citv, it's dire!!!!!

Greensleeves · 16/03/2007 19:04

Agree Mercy. How devastating it must be to be suspected of paedophilia just because you work with children. No wonder so many men feel awkward about liking/interacting with children

I don't mean to pick on you in particular stacey, but it is something that makes me sad.

Spidermama · 16/03/2007 19:06

Anything with adults doing fake patronising laughing every time they say anything as if children will only enjoy someone talking if they are pretending to laugh the entire time.
So ...

Roly Mo
Fimbles
Big Cook
That bloody pink taxi programme

... In fact it's everything except Come Outside, Tikabilla and Balamory. Those three shows are the only ones worth watching on Cbeebs IMO.

staceym11 · 16/03/2007 19:07

its not because he works with children, and maybe it was a bit inapropriate, its because of the way he acts, to me he just acts ....wrong

staceym11 · 16/03/2007 19:08

i dont feel the same about the others on cbeebies, just him, dunno why!

beckybrastraps · 16/03/2007 19:09

On telling an acquaintance once that my brother was a primary school teacher, I got the reply "Why, is he a paedophile?"

My brother.

Not funny.

Greensleeves · 16/03/2007 19:10

Oh bbs, that is awful!

staceym11 · 16/03/2007 19:11

why would they assume he was a peadophile coz hes a teacher? thats odd, iv only said what i said because of the way justin acts, not just because of his job!

bit for you BBS, i understand why you call them an aquaintance! (sp?)
