TV shows you hated as a child

[Steve4]

I will start

I disliked Blue peter as a child and still do.

Heartbeat
Coronation Street
Countryfile
Points of (fucking) View

Boring beyond belief!

The Moomins used to scare the bejesus out of me.

Chocky. Fucking terrifying

Why dont you - yes switch off the telly and go and do something else more interesting - i think was the phrase
Magpie
Songs of praise - can't see the point personally
antiques roadshow - yep - lowers the mood being sunday evening

Chorlton and the Wheelies - just weird and disturbing
The Flumps - drippy and boring
Screen Test - duller than mud
Worzel Gummidge - Aunt Sally was a bitch and Worzel was grubby

The 10 little Indians thing is called Apaches and tbh I really wouldn't watch it IIWY

A similar one is The Finishing Line, about railways.

Also not a fan of Blue Peter et al, though I didn't 'hate' programmes because I didn't watch/tuned out if they didn't interest me. I also don't remember anything I found really disturbing (apart from public information films).

Smiling/wincing with recognition at the Sunday teatime holy trinity of Antiques Roadshow, Songs of Praise and Last of the Summer Wine/later Heartbeat.

The Armchair Thriller with the nun haunted me for months.
Hated Magpie - smug gits.

Some Chinese/Japanese? programme which I only watched because my mum thought my brother & I both loved it and she was usually v against TV. Cannot remember what it was called & Google is no help. The Something (Marshes?) of Yang Shang ? Something.

The Walton’s.

I had forgotten about the nun Armchair Thriller, it is on Youtube so I must watch it again and see if it is as scary

Also didn't like Magpie

google tells me it was
Why Don't You Just Switch Off Your Television Set and Go Out and Do Something Less Boring Instead? ran from Aug 73 to April 95.
surprising it ran for so long with that tagline

Mini Pops. What the fuck?!

Found it - The Water Margin, where the 'Marshes of Yang Sang Po' came from, don't know!
It freaked me out but I was too stubborn to admit it.

Yes to the Look and Read series The Boy from Space but also the one they did called Dark Towers. Creepy knight!!*

I loved Dark Towers. My mum was a teacher and I remember she took it with us on holiday (visiting her cousin in guernsey) and we watched it there. Looking back, that seems a weird choice of holiday viewing.

DS2 watched Geordie Racer at school.

Woof. About the boy who turned into a dog. Ridiculous.

Fingerbobs and Jackanory

Only fools and horses. Reminds me of being bored on Christmas day and my family laughing at the "jokes" which I still don't find funny.

And "you've been framed". I used to go to my dad eow and he would put it on and ignore me because he thought I would find it funny. Anything to avoid parenting

I loved Rentaghost and Grotbags. I hated Hulk and Hart to Hart

Mr Ben - very scary to 4 year old me

Blue peter
Newsround
Noel Edmonds & mr blobby
Friends
Sweet valley high
High school musical

The moomins (freaks)
The magic roundabout (even back then I knew that someone on something dodgy must have created that!)
Thunderbirds (I mean, come on how rubbish was that),
Mork and Mindy
Happy days (I was a bucket of laughs me)

@LemonysSnicket
You hated Ed, Edd and Eddy and Cat dog? . Did you like Cow & Chicken or REN and stimpy?
For me, the Cartoon Network Stuff was like Netflix today, finally stuff that I wanted, albeit that I was probably doing my GCSEs and a levels.

Monkey magic. Hated it gave me the creeps but my siblings loved it

PIPkins..... the puppets were scraggy old rancid things. Look at Hartley Hare ffs - Terrifying!

Pipkins was the best! I loved it so much! I particularly loved Birmingham Pig and Topov the monkey!
