What does it mean? 3rd and Bird????

The whole programme leaves me a bit to be honest... anyone else?

It is a pile of poo.

I hate it.

spicemonster · 20/02/2009 15:53

It's American I suspect - it's the intersection of two streets - Bird St and 3rd Avenue (or whatever). But it's shite whatever. I want to bake that Muffin for tea

PuppyMonkey · 20/02/2009 16:18

Yeah, Muffin last night was a total pita. But the new little toucan was a proper twat too.

Why are we having American references in a British prog???? Or is it a US prog that's just been redubbed with British accents????

The whole thing gives me the spooks in all honesty.

My 3 kids love it and my friends 3 too! I have no idea why...'shake shake da muffin, ooh ahh eee' (sung in a too cute voice with slight speech impediment )

Habbibu · 20/02/2009 16:36

Oh god - I HATE this. It's just diabolical.

littlelamb · 20/02/2009 16:37

O no I loooove it. Mainly for the little song at the end. But am I just being particularly dense, or is this baby Jordan not actually in the programme??? Does it just jump around at the end?? Strange

littlelamb · 20/02/2009 16:38

If you like 3rd and Bird you will love wonderpets

Oovavu · 20/02/2009 16:39

think it might be made by the same people as make Wonderpets - which is PROPER bonkers as well

and yet.... the dds find it highly entertaining and I cannot get the refrain out of my head ("Do the muffin, the muffin, do-do-do..." etc)

It's like opera on helium for the drug-addled and insane

Whats going to work????
TEAMWORK

solidgoldbullet4myvalentine · 20/02/2009 16:42

I hate it too! Stuff and roast the lot of them!

PuppyMonkey · 20/02/2009 16:43

Oh blimey, that one sounds just up my street too!

Baby Jordan was in it last night littlelamb. Proper little knobhead.

. I watched the whole of 3rd and Bird for the first time ever last night. Never Ever Again. I couldn't work out whether I wanted to scratch my eyes or ears out first.

littlelamb · 20/02/2009 16:45

@ proper little knobhead. I find myself singing the song and putting proper effort into it too...

Smee · 20/02/2009 16:45

I don't get it, but DS adores it. It's his favourite programme and this from a kid who wishes he was a Power Ranger. I'd prefer Muffin to Red Ranger any day, so long live the birdies I say

MeAndMyMonkey · 20/02/2009 16:46

Oh I love 3rd and Bird, love the music,animation, even find babies Muffin and Jordan oddly endearing. I am often found to be humming 'third... third and bird...' ... it's like a mini musical for toddlers, with just a hint of Sesame Street..

PuppyMonkey · 20/02/2009 16:49

You're a disgrace to the Monkey name Me and My...

3rd and Bird:

"opera on helium for the drug-addled and insane"

OR

"mini musical for toddlers, with just a hint of Sesame Street.."

???????

There's only one way to find out: FIGHT!!!!!

Habbibu · 20/02/2009 16:59

I wish it was for the drug-addled - in a kind of Ren-and-Stimpy-suddenly-makes-sense way, but it's actually like having pure coloured sugar injected straight into your eyes and ears.

Wash your mouth out about Sesame St, MeandMy.

MeAndMyMonkey · 20/02/2009 17:00

Ha ha, I am a disgrace full stop.
I am inspired by this thread to make DD watch 3rd and Bird RIGHT NOW, I tape it literally every day.
Tragic thing is she is not wildly into it but I am, so am trying to indoctrinate her. Awful!
Lol at opera for drug-addled and insane btw, that's about right!

Habbibu · 20/02/2009 17:01

She Tapes it. She Makes Me Watch It!

solidgoldbullet4myvalentine · 20/02/2009 17:02

Oh no, if you want severly drug-addled programming it has to be In The Night Garden.

MeAndMyMonkey · 20/02/2009 17:07

Lol @ Habbibu, I am sorry I have taken the name of Sesame St in vain, it's true that nothing comes close, not EVEN 3rd... 3rd and Bird... where the birdies meet just across the street... ad infinitum
