Can I share that a couple characters on Sid the Science kid have highly annoying voices? Sid's grandma and his Asian friend at school. Their voices drive me NUTS! I absolutely agree that Caillou is WHINEY :P Yo Gabba Gabba drove me nuts the one episode I watched. We don't have anything but local TV so the only shows my girls watch are PTV. I'm sure if I dwell on it enough I can come up with more ;)

I can't stand Wonder Pets! The baby duck character drives me insane and the songs get stuck in my head.

Also - Why is Dora always yelling at me?

Love Wonder Pets, Diego, Sid, and Yo Gabba Gabba. Don't really like any of the super hero shows as they are extremely violent. Can't believe I am saying this but violence on television has a huge effect on toddlers. Cartoon Network is crazy.

Yep, Dora is bossy. Do this, do that, get up, sit down, fight, fight, fight. Blah, blah, blah. Back off, Dora. Caillou is the devil. The Wonder Pets freak me out.

I like Backyardigans, WordGirl, Dinosaur Train, and the old Looney Tunes cartoons. NOT the new, weird, Looney Tunes ones that have Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner reenacting scenes from the Matrix.

I don't understand Wow Wow Wubbzy at all. And I don't think Nick Jr. does either. Any time the only entry at the beginning is "Teaches Kids To Share And Care" then I know the show has no educational value.

Also, those puppets in Lazy Town FREAK ME OUT. That show is crazy weird, but sort of makes me want to visit Iceland.

Cailou, Little Bill, The Wonder Pets and Barney have been banned in our house. My daughter watched an episode of the Teletubbies when she was a toddler that seemed more like an acid trip. Weird. I also think Adventure Time is a bit odd and for some reason my kids always want to watch it.

Caillou is a whiny little brat and his parents are lumpy in odd places. I have come to loathe Dora and Diego for all the yelling and excessive enthusiasm. Mercifully, my kids are now mostly out of the Dora/Diego love. My kids are into Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Special Agent Oso and SuperWhy. I find those tolerable. My oldest, a 6 year old, likes Phineas and Ferb, which I hate - it's sassy and bratty though humorous at times. The same goes for Spongebob.

Mostly I've been having a problem with the "tween shows" that come on after the little kid shows. My 6 year old has been rolling his eyes at me and telling me things are SO LAME as well as setting up a dinner date in the basement for himself and the neighbor girl. Oi!

Why the hate for Little Bill?
I am a lame mom. I make my kids watch Franklin, Toot & Puddle, Backyardigans, Peppa Pig, and Little Bear. I simply can't stand the shows where the characters are sassy. Has anyone seen The Regular Show? What is with that? Phineas & Ferb was allowed for a short time as my oldest is 6. But as soon as behavior started to change we switched back to "mom approved" shows. This week has been a no tv week in our house and the difference in my kids' behavior is amazing!

Barney and Teletubbies drove me up the wall, but I've got to say the Wiggles takes it. Although, I don't have many memories of that show because I refused to have it be on, even if I was in the other room. But as much as I detested those shows, the shows for the post toddler to teens are even worse. Hannah Montana, iCarly, Wizards of Waverly Place, and ESPECIALLY, as you mentioned Dave... Zach and Cody. Yet the kids love it, and with Netflix, YouTube, On Demand and the TV, there is virtually nothing I can do to get away.

I freaking hate Cailou. He is also banned from our home....mainly because my husband told our son that Cailou died. (Pretty sure that is considered a parenting fail.
I hate the whining. And WHY DOES HE HAVE NO HAIR?

Another hated show--Max and Ruby. Number 1. Why do the bunnies wear no pants? Number 2. Where are the parents to these pantsless bunnies? 3. Why can't Max speak in complete sentences?

Nichole, I've never seen Max and Ruby. And you've just ensured I never will.

Caillou is by far the worst show on PBS! It get the automatic channel-switch in our house. Thank goodness the Little One could care less about it - - we're much more of a Super Why and Sesame Street kind of house. :)

Agree. Caillou is a super whinny spoiled brat. I don't need my kids to see a cartoon that if the kids whine they get what they want. I am not the mom to give in at the child who throws a fit in a store at a checkout lane because they want candy.

Also the telletubies... what the frick? What was PBS thinking. They barely talk and just make sounds. the only thing cute about it is the baby in the sun.

Elmo's World (even though his voice can drive me nuts) and Sesame Street. Backyardagins is good too. I like Dora/Diego for the spanish part but besides that no thanks :)

Ah yes, the eternal debate regarding children and television. It seemed to go forever at our house as well; the monitoring and censoring. My husband and I wondered if television viewing would ever become a nontopic in our home again. Then suddenly our daughter was a teenager. We remodeled an entire lower level into a viewing room just to entice her and her friends into staying home and watching movies instead of being out and about. Oh the irony!

My little girl aged 1 <3's yo gabba gabba but Brobee's voice annoys me & that show max & ruby well I have mixed feelings about it. Ruby is bossy to her bro max & never lets him play & that damn Max only speaks in 2-3 word sentences. Max is annoying i think i dislike it soo much because in reality i honestly can't stand it when a toddler can't communicate to me properly. I hate not being able to understand what a child wants or is trying to tell me. That stupid pig Olivia drive me crazy as well. She is a snotty little know it all and she thinks she's the shit. Excuse my french. Oh my god little bill don't get me started! His voice is so annoying when he makes up songs. Sorry for my rant I could go on forever but I'm through.
