I haven't seen many kids shows but omg Max and Ruby. Could Max be any more frustrating? Did you see the one where they make ice cream and he keeps dropping the cone so Ruby keeps making another batch - repeat as nauseam? I would have told him to stick it.
Any others that I should avoid? I've only seen Bubble Guppies, Peppa Pig, Cat in the Hat and Splash n Boots ( annoying too)
My H found something called Zerby Derby that X loves. It's like some drunk guys put googly eyes on their remote control cars and drove them around their back yard.
It does deal with science stuff, so that is cool. (making stuff float, making ramps, etc)
I have limited the shows my kids see a lot, so there are very few I can't stand.
I'm pretty sure this is an UO on this board, but I can't stand Daniel Tiger. I'll let them watch it for the lessons, but it's the one show I refuse to sit with them and watch.
Chuggington. I thought Thomas the Tank Engine was annoying, but Chuggington is so much worse.
I love Thomas but only the original version from Britain. It reminds me of growing up with my little boy cousins in the 90s. Sir Topham Hat was called the Fat Controller which isn't very pc, I guess.
And caillou is banned in my house. That kid is a horrible brat. Bubble guppies annoys me because they are underwater!!!!!! Why are they afraid of falling off a cliff?!?! Then there is Paw patrol where the first attempt at saving the day always fails. But since I usually use TV to zone out..,,I don't care if it doesn't make sense. My h pays attention so he has also tried to ban Barney and Barbie.

My h loves Toopy and Binou even though Dd doesn't even watch tv. He even took her to see them live at the mall when she was around 9 months.

Max and Ruby and Caillou are the fucking worst. With a tons of ties for second.
I like the puffin show on Netflix and peg and cat or whatever. Mostly we watch movies like emperors new groove and lilo and stitch. And pee wee's playhouse because my mom got her addicted. Nightmare before Christmas and cloudy with a chance of meat balls are also favorites.
Kid shows fucking blow now. I love little bear and the shows I had growing up. Shows now are so whiney. It's ridiculous.

TV is pretty free and easy in my house, so we have seen it all.
Disney Jr has a new show called PJ Masks that is cute. It's an adaptation of a French show. I don't mind Jake and the Neverland Pirates or Paw Patrol either.

Canadians, how can we watch Daniel Tiger if we don't have a TV? I just looked through Netflix and it's not there. Any other suggestions? He's just now getting to the point where he can sit through an episode. So far he's only seen Chuggington and Paw Patrol.
