So... which kids TV show drives you the most insane?!

[scaryhairycat]

For me it's numberjacks. I hate it with a passion, and always scramble for the remote whilst desperately trying to distract LO (so she wont notice I've changed the channel, or "shangychanol" as she puts it) before it's tragically lame intro music starts...

And while I'm on the subject, why oh why are the characters in kids TV shows so alarmingly freakish?! Why do those odd things in Waybaloo have hardly any nose? And massive heads?? Why can't they just look normal and cute?! And why does dirt girl have an actors eyes, an animated head and a person in a costume for a body?!!

Am I alone in my "going-slightly-insane-spending-all-day-on-my-own-with-a-toddler" madness here?!

Show me, Show me. I really don't get it.

Thomas, so dull

Its Dora and her annoying brother Diego. Do they have to SHOUT ALL THE TIME??

scary you are not alone.

Thomas
Numberjacks
The Marvellous Misadventures of Flapjack
The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy

I thought nothing could be worse than Lazytown, but then they came up with Lazytown Extra - oh, the pain.

I also sing 'We hate Clifford the Big Red Dog' every time that one is on.

Dds have decided to jump ship to CBBC now though, as CBeebies is much too babyish for a four year old . I'll have a whole new list of annoying programmes soon.

Horrid Henry

Imagination movers Bleeding annoying!!

It would be quicker for me to name the ones that don't drive me mental!

I absolutely hate

Chuggington
Tweenies
DirtGirl
Louie
Clifford the Dog
Pinky Dinky Do
Thomas the Tank Engine
Noddy

The only shows I like are

Kerwhizz
Something Special
Gigglebiz
Little Princess

And I could also cheerfully smack Big Cook and his twatty friend, Little Cook in the face.

Green BaLLoon club

I quite like Clifford, though dd sings 'the big red poo' for some reason (well, she is 3 )

suite life of Zack and bleeding Cody!!!!

We have just discovered Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom on Nick Jnr. Lovely. No, honestly it is!!

But then it is followed by Max and Ruby. Ruby needs a contract taking out on her.

I think I spend far too much time watching this stuff.

I am thankful every day that they have taken Space Pirates off air

Carrie and David's Popshop. Oh. My. God.

And all the crappy ones they bung on at the weekends like Finley the Fire Engine and Pinky Dinky Doo.

On the other hand I love Charlie and Lola, Show Me Show Me, Peppa Pig and anything with Justin in.

Thankfully past this stage now and on to MI High, Raven and Sarah Jane, all of which are pretty good!

Oh god I had totally forgotten about Space Pirates. Just dreadful!

Oh you have got to be kidding me about Space Pirates??!!!

It was the best thing on Cbeebies!

DirtGirlWorld

freaky freaky freaky

Tweenies- I could assasinate them all, including the dogs. Thought I'd managed to leave it behind as DD is 9 but no, I had to go and have another child.

Carrie and David - that bastard "is it this or is it that" song comes on, usually when I'm trying to get the kids ready to leave the house or something and it's so fricking agitating it makes me want to commit murder.

Otherwise anything with Justin Man-Baby Fletcher in, I have ranted about him muchly in the past, he freaks me out.

No way! Space Pirates was too long - 30 minutes and they only made about 6 episodes which they kept repeating over, and over and over...........

Yes dirtgirlworld. I started a thread about this. It's just unwatchable for me

Oh no - don't be mean about Justin. I think he is quite possibly the kindest man in the world. Although I think I'm one of the few people who finds gigglebiz genuinely hilarious.

LOL! Nice to know I'm not alone on this one!

And as for Thomas The smug-faced-tw@t-coz-I-make-loadza-money-from-hidiously-expensive-toy-trains Tank Engine; don't get me started on that one!! THANK GOD my ds is now 10 and has long since grown out of that stuff!! He even made me take him to see the big steam trains of them! Eugghhh!!!

Oh yes Numberjacks. That and Green Balloon Club, but as DP likes that he goes on telly watching duty then, hoping to see Bill Oddie I think (who I hate with a passion!)

I absolutely loathe all of the tripe on cbeebies.The shows are really simple and really stupid. I can't handle the cheesy presenters either.

I also cannot stand Dora and Diego. For no real reason other than they get on my blinking nerves.

I prefer DS to watch something that is halfway realistic. So fluffy dinosaurs or whatever they are that can talk, dance sing and solve problems - no. But Ben10 - boy who turns into an alien with help from his trusty watch -Ok

I also prefer for him to watch a show where he might actually learn something - I realised years ago that Cbeebies was not the place for that.
