S/O annoying kid shows

[patbutcher]

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)

[tulips]

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)

[ilikedonuts]

I despise Calliou, Sid the Science Kid, basically all of Nick Jr except for Bubble Guppies and Team Umizoomi. Oh and Lazytown on Sprout.

[AmyRI]

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.

Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. I'd rather listen to sponge bob.

Yes! She is such a whiner.

Chuggington. I thought Thomas the Tank Engine was annoying, but Chuggington is so much worse.

[bowies]

Caillou is the worst followed closely by Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Puffin Rock is cute but so boring. If I have a show on, it needs to do its damn job and be entertaining.

[redheadbaker]

Also, "Ruff Ruff, Tweet and Dave" -- DS found it on NBC one Saturday morning, and after 15 minutes, I was ready to scratch my eyes out.

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.

No! We only watch two shows and this is one of them. I think it's so cute! I love Brewster!

I don't mind Paw Patrol either. It's pretty cute.

[dcn]

Calliou is awful. So whiny
Also not a fan of Pocoyo

Otherwise meh.

He mostly watches pbs kids shows since we don't have cable.

[blueberry10]

I was saying to DH the other day that I don't get the appeal of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Mickey has such a weird voice!

[rugbywife]

We only watch Daniel tiger and curious George. Lol.

What channel is Daniel tiger on? I always hear about it on here.

[cincodemayo]

I agree with the UO about Daniel Tiger. Daniel grates on my nerves and I'm just so sick of it! DS can sing most of the songs though.

I thinks it on CBC at 630 or 7am.
I have never seen it.

That's why I have never seen it. For some reason we only watch NBC or CTV

I like Max and Ruby but Daniel Tiger is totally nails on a chalkboard for me. I realize this is pretty much the ultimate MMM unpopular opinion.

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.

[sweetbrier]

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.

[thebreakfastclub]

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.

[pinkdutchtulips]

I'll add to the chorus of avoid Caillou at all costs !!!!

[bananapancakes]

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.

[natablue]

I won't let DS watch Caillou if only he and I are home. DH doesn't seem to mind it for some mind boggling reason.

A close second is probably Lazytown - they look so creepy! I also dislike chuggington - I tried it as an alternative to thomas, but blech.

Bubble Guppies, Thomas the train and Daniel Tiger are on repeat around here. DS is also taking a liking to Paw Patrol, or "doggies" as he calls it.

Umm...we watch a lot of TV.

[redpenmama]

Caillou was banned in our household years ago.

...and the "opening eggs" phenomenon on YouTube. I just can't. DD tries to negotiate for it: "Can I watch ONE opening eggs?! Just one?!"

[dottyblue]

I don't mind Caillou at all... Dont get the hate

I can't stand Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Absolutely banned in our house. I got DS hooked on some of the original Mickey cartoons instead.

[luckyno7]

We have Netflix and the kids have found Barbie and Kipper. I can do without both. Oh and some penguin show where they don't talk.
