Yeah!!! My kids are all teens and we are way past those incredibly annoying kid shows…however, now we’re stuck in a never ending loop of Phineas and Furb, iCarly, some weird teen cartoon that I have yet to catch the name of, and Spongebob. Gag me with a pitchfork for each and every one of these!

This is a cute idea! I’ll have to try it next time. I agree that most of those shows are quite annoying. I didn’t realize you were so annoyed by them though! LOL. I’ve never heard of the “Sid” show but all the others I have. I have to say that the ones that annoy me most from your list would be the wiggles, teletubbies and Barney.

I guess this is something I’ll have to deal with soon though once Brooklyn is older and watching them. She already watches Dora and Max and Ruby at mom and dad’s. I’m never home when they are on so I never watch them. I think Max and Ruby are cute – but good question, where ARE the parents???

We’re still in that lovely stage where she’s too young for TV, but I’m dreading the moment we have to start watching some of those shows. Can someone please explain the relevance of Yo Gabba Gabba to me?

I’m a grandmother, so I guess I can commnent too! I’ve sat and watched all the shows that you mentioned Melissa, and I don’t mind Calliou, Dora or Max and Ruby. I actually think they are cute shows. Brooklyn is starting to like watching some of these shows and she’s only 4 months old. She doesn’t sit there very long, but the movement and the music and the colors keep her entertained for about 30 minutes sometimes, lol. And of course, I remember when Katelyn and Madelyn watched all these shows when they were younger, especially Katelyn and I get homesick for those days:(

Okay I have to add Little Einsteins to the list. The little blonde who makes up all the songs drives me crazy! I actually like Calliou because it is always a very calm show for my kids to watch but, when is that kid going to grow some hair!! I also have to say Max and Ruby are just weird. I always wondered too about their parents. My most hated show is sponge bob squarepants. My kids are NOT allowed to watch it ever. I watched it once just to see if it would be okay and no way!! I was horrified by that show.

Caillou would top my list! My daughter loves that show but Caillou is so whiny. We actually cut her back on Caillou because she was start whine like him. I couldn’t handle too much of that.

I don’t know any of these shows since I only have a six month old. But, I’m not looking forward to any of them! Thanks for the heads up!

We love Caillou and Max & Ruby. Dora is okay. Barney…poor Barney. I think Barney was a victim of poor handlers (that made him the ubiquitous Barney) in the early/mid 90’s. I vowed never to watch him. When my son was born in 1999, we started watching Barney (2001, maybe?) and he’s really not that bad. My younger son likes him now.

We were also heartbroken when Steve went to college. My 10yo still gets teary-eyed about it. It just wasn’t the same without him.

Now Sid the Science Kid, CGI or not, is just weird!

I don’t think Sid The Science kid is a terrible show. It’s informative and fun but annoying.

Amanda, I did not realize that is was with CGI characters! So there is a real someone out there with those annoying facial expressions! lol

Vanessa, my daughter is terrified of Yo Gabba Gabba although she’s never really watched the show. The second it comes on she’ll scream ” Change the channel! No Yo Gabba Gabba!!” I don’t get it ) I love Ni Hao Kai-Lan. I think that show is so cute. My girls like it too. I’ll have to make a list next week of MY favorite kids shows- hehehe

Debra, I agree! I’m sure my parents got tired of “The LIttle Mermaid”, “Feivle”(sp??) and “Care Bears”. HAHA!
