Waybuloo - is this the most stomach turning twee pile of toss you have ever seen?

[solidgoldSneezeLikeApig]

I mean WTF? Simpering pink boggle-eyed things doing yoga? DS sat there open mouthed with horror going 'Mummy, is this RUBBISH?'

I hate it, DS loves it. Which probably means it's achieving exactly what it want it's supposed to!

I just find it hard to talk to him about it. At least with Thomas the Tank or ITNG, we can do some re-telling of the stories and talk about the characters. I can't even work out what the stupid Waybuloo people are called because of the stupid simpering way they talk.

dd likes it, she does the yoga stuff with them. as long as it does have have that gurning fool from 'something special' in it i am happy

Lala- my 9 month old dd loves it too! better than in the night garden!

And I think the music is nice.

Anyone remeber Boobah!-it was on around 6 years ago when ds was a toddler. Now THAT was moronic!

sorry, I overdid it with the exclamation marks there

My kids love it for some reason, and it's quite amusing watching my 2 year old DD trying to do the yoga and keeling over. DD1 wants to be a pipling when she grows up, and says I can be a cheebie

It's terrible. My DC all get up and turn the tv off when it comes on.

It's repetitive (but not in a good way like in Teletubbies when they repeat the video clip as children like to watch it again. Just repetitive and uninspiringly awful).

The music gets on my nerves. There's other programmes that I don't like but I can see that the DC are gaining something from. However, Waybuloo is a one-trick pony.

My 8 month DD LOVES it. Better for babies than toddlers IMO.

My two like it. They sigh along to the "whoooooooooo-oooooo-eeeeeeehhhh" bit (slightly sinister tbh) then they try to do the yoga (quite entertaining).

I can't stand it either and the kids (Cheebies) all look rather uncomfortable and unatural. Does anyone know if it's filmed in a studio or outdoors somewhere?

My 7mo loves it. Better for babies than older ones, I think. It spaces chills her out nicely before bathtime . DH found a thread somewhere complaining vociferously that it had a rampant anti-Christian devil-worshipping agenda, so we're looking out for signs in DD of any tendancy to stick pins in voodoo dolls, but she seems fine so far...

Agree daisyJ, my 14 month old loves it - it is the only programme that holds his attention at all.

...but still agree on the stomach churning!

Truly dreadful. Fortunately both my dcs agree with me on this one.

I was fairly aghast when I first saw it, but it's grown on me as it's guaranteed to send DD (3 and a bit) into a nice quiet trance for a few minutes - so hurrah.

She likes it and does the yoga exercises, which can't be a bad thing, surely. I did wonder though when they will first be sued for causing a toddler yoga-related injury.

I was a bit disturbed the other day though to realise that those little ET things all have names, and that DD actually knows them all now

My DS loves it, knows all their namess and it is very calming. I like the SEAL aspect to it BIWI

AND they have silly names and witter to each other very ungrammatically. I much prefer the Peppa Pig perfect diction stylee, which saves you having to teach your child anything as Peppa does it all for you.

Still, I forgive the Buloos (?) most of the above for providing their 10 peaceful minutes.

That's really spooky, I was going to search to see if there was a thread on this programme today as my DS has just started watching it and loves it. We got a free dvd of it from the Boots parenting club but I can't find it now. He is only 15 months but sits completely still and doesn't attempt to get up and press the buttons on the sky box all the time so it must be good!

My nearly 22 month old quite likes it. It took her a while but she's transfixed now. We also love Timmy, he's fab

Can't stand Mr Maker and that Green Balloon club is utter utter poop. Four or five obnoxious kids, specially the youngest girl.

DS bloody loves this programme! I've sky plus episodes and he now asks me to watch them. He get the remote and shouts bulloo buloooooo until i put it on! He is nearly two.

He also does the yoga moves.

It is non offensive and i don't mind it. He used to love peppa pig but prefers this over peppa which i also sky plus. When i ask him what he wants to watch Waybuloo always wins.

I personally Love charlie and lola but he isn't fussed. I love the animation and the fact that the voice work is real children and not noiced by adults like in peppa pig.

DD(7) loves the yoga bit! She did yogabugs once at CP but we never found a local class while she was young enough to go so she hankers after that really (bad mother emoticon)!
She also loved Boohbah as a toddler and still watches Charlie & Lola
I wish some of the CBBC programmes were of the calmer end of the spectrum like this! All the Sarah Jane and Trapped stuff drives me mad- it must give the children nightmares surely (it does me)?
CBBC could learn a lot from the calming influence of CBeebies!

I have never seen such a load of putrid stomach turning, garbling garbage as waybuloo. Unfortunately my two year old boy is mesmerised by it .....oh dear.

DD loves it and so do I. Very gentle, sweet and calming, music is lovely.

So there! .

My 2 year old must be weird. If she is not feeling a bit mellow and ready for bed after cbeebies bedtime hour, sometimes we let her watch a documentary on fish as a special treat . She particularly likes anything with huge shoals of fish, or dolphins in it. Sharks are cool too as long as they are not eating anything. Blue Planet is just the best thing ever .

And she likes Waybuloo.

Waybuloo is absolute quality. The best kiddies programme in a very long time. I think alot of people on this post are afraid of change. The acceptance of a primarily Anglo-Saxon viewpoint as standard is obsolete. Embrace difference. Well done CBeebies.
