Fuming! CGI is ruining classic Children's television!

[HelenaHannDeCarte]

I thought I'd get up early with my DD to reset our body clocks for school. Innocently stuck milkshake on the TV. I am aghast......

What in God's name has happened to my old favourites?!! Bob the builder, Fireman Sam, THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE, and God knows what other atrocities will be on before the morning is out... Almost in tears at how sterile and soulless these now are. Surely children want their cartoons to be cartoons? If they wanted to watch more realistic looking shows they would watch adult tv. These new ones hurt my eyes.

Why do all the characters look the same and move so creepily and slowly? Why isn't there a channel of exclusively non CGI programmes, even if it consisted of old versions? Having a new baby soon and seriously considering starting to stock up on old DVDs and sheltering them from this computer generated shit..

I weep for my kids, looks like my older DS was the last to experience them in their proper cartoon or stop frame form. Whyyyyyy

Was just about to say new danger mouse is every bit as good as the original.

However I remain to be convinced about the new ducktales

I'm with pp, won't hear a word against Duggee, everyone in this house loves him! Still prefer the old Thomas though. I want to kill Norman in Fireman Sam, I cannot watch it just because of that infantile imbecile. If Fireman Sam is his Father, I've lost all respect for him because of his 'dalliance' with Norman's mother. There's new danger mouse??? I've just put it on series link... for my DD of course! ;)

A little bit of me dies when I see some of these remakes. Postman pat and his ridiculous helicopter in particular! Dd is older now but for a while loved watching old Postman Pat's and was addicted to Tikkabilla, Higgledy house and Come Outside.
