ok- this has been on my MIND ALL WEEK ... cus my 2 yr old is wakin me up early - like 6 ... and i have to watch this crap !!!

1 Teletubbies

2 BOOBAH

ok. for those of you NOT in the loop. I do believe both of these were created by British Drug experts. The creators HAD to be HIGH . Period. I lump these 2 together because to adults - they are borderline UNWATCHABLE unless you have a fully packed BOWL ... serious. try it without . then u will see what i mean ...

3. Wiggles . What is it ? cant the US invent fucked up children's shows??? They really changed this show since i watched it a few years ago... with the lead singer gone ... they have kids dressed as the WIGGLES and Capt feathersword has gone from being like a VANITY charactor to being main actor !!!! what the _____ .... it always sucked- but now it really bites ....

4 Mickey Mouse Clubhouse - ok . score one for the US .... they completely RIP OFF DORA THE EXPLORER .... ugh ... and what is up with the computer generated crap ???? when they dance - it is oh my baddddd.... isnt WALT DISNEY "inventor " of innovative cartoons/movies, etc !!??

thoughts???

i thought this was going to be about some new reality show where people sent in footage of their kids being evil brats. i would TOTALLY watch that!

Anx- somehow i KNEW you would reply .... have u seen ANY of these shows???

ehhh....i used to watch teletubbies a lot

i love that show on Nick Jr. with the talking baby animals - i don't know what it's called, but i saw it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and i just sat there giggling and drooling and pointing at the TV whenever a monkey would come on.

Ok, BOOBAH is the worst show ever.

It's supposed to appeal to infants but my son had zero interest in it, like none at all.

WONDER PETS!!

we're wonder pets,
we're wonder pets,
we're on our way,
to help the baby animal
and save the day.
we're not too big
and we're not too tough
but when we work together
we've got the right stuff.
what's gonna work?
teamwork!
what's gonna work?
teamwork!

i totally agree with ya on the Wonder pets ... it is funny ... and i didnt include it ... in my little quick list of BAD shows ...

BOOHBAH and Teletubbies holds my 2 yr olds interest USUALLY only for 5 min ... maybe 15 if it includes some music ....

SnidelyWhiplash said:

yeah, those are WEIRD shows. thank god i don't have any two year olds anymore!

thanks . now i am depressed .

SexOnWheels said:

THAT'S IT!!!

i want a DVD box set of that show, it's brilliant.

Anx said:

i have that theme song stuck in my head now.

i have never actually seen the wonder pets for more than 2 min .... so i dont know much ... they must be on later in the day ... ... figures the TV programmers would FUCK ME ROYALLY with the shit i gotta put up with !!!

SnidelyWhiplash said:

i've never seen a whole episode of teletubbies, boohbah, or wiggles. i swear i've seen EVERY episode of spongebob, jimmy neutron, fairly odd parents, dora the explorer, and go diego go, plus a few backyardigans and wonder pets.

most of those are for kids a little bit older, so they're actually pretty entertaining. as for the younger shows..... i actually like the Backyardigans and the Wonder Pets.

If you have to be there anyways,
Why don't you turn the TV off and play with YOUR kid?

Just a suggestion

because i have to do things . like read the newspaper and drink some coffee to get me goin !!!

yes- my 6 yr old watches sponge bob wayyy too much - we are cutting her off ... but yesterday we were watchin that CLASSIC where sponge bob is in class - and the new kid comes in ... and says "i am gonna kick your butt " ... i love that one !!!

PANDURITO said:

i do that too! read stories, work on projects, ride bikes together, play outside.... etc.

Good!

As obnoxious as Teletubbies are to adults, I can totally understand why little children love them. I sat though several episodes when I babysat in high school, and the kids were completely engrossed in this show. The characters repeat almost everything, so the kids get a chance to play along too. They also include videos of real children doing all kinds of activities, which inspired the kids I was babysitting to do their own projects. Not to mention, the language is very basic, almost babytalk, so even the youngest kid I babysat could repeat what they were saying. I don't know, it might not be as stimulating and educational as some shows, but if kids like it, it's going to make money.

The shows I DON'T like are the really gross, poorly drawn ones that are popping up all over the place. Not appropriate for young kids, imo.

there is always some positive spouting person on this damn prince.org

or menial labor? kids love to put things together, like puzzles or toy planes or nikes.

Anx said:

me too. the theme 'bad boys' started playing in my head when i read the thread title

i LOVE watching toddlers throw tantrums, especially if they're being extra melodramatic and petty. watching drama queens in training is the cutest thing ever!

My niece watches it... I'm always like
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?


She's not even 2 and she watches TV
