Forget the kids - CBeebies and others

[Mad Madam Mim]

Ok we all have to endure CBeebies and other kids shows. So ...

Which one can you just not stand?
Which Presenter/character would you happily maim?
Which show do you love?
Which character do you love?

(I'm interested in mum's opinions here)

But also which one's do your LO's like and which leave them cold?

I cannot take the %$££% Shiny Show - it annoys me beyond belief
I am quite irritated by the oriental presenter (not sure of her name) and not sure why perhaps it is her perkiness. The pixies in Fab Lab could do with a slap too!
I love Doodle Do and the presenter
and I have a soft spot for Stick in Doodle Do too (ahhhh)

Dylan loves Roly Mo and the Fimbles and the teletubbies he is particularly fond of the baby-sun. He has zero interest in Boogie Beebies but I expect this will change as he likes to dance to music.

Now you :)

Which Presenter/character would you happily maim?

Hi - great post
I cant stand Chris - looks really dodgy to me and Poy(sp) cant sing to save her life - I love the bedtime song and she's so flat it ruins it for me (should I get out more!)
We LOVE the shiney show and storymakers - especially Blue Cow.
Can't stand the bl00dy fimbles or tweenies - although like Roly Mo.
DS's favies are Fireman Sam, Lunar Jim and Harry and his dinosaurs - no gender sterotypes here then!

How dare you?!?! :spank: :fight: :wik:

[Pancake01]

I've never watched cbeebies. What programmes might Maisie like? She's 5 months old. I thought she might like tellytubbies, but I don't know when it's on. Should I keep her in ignorance for a bit longer, so when she is creating in the future, she can have a magical surprise? :laff:

[RosyLee]

Cannot stand - Bobinogs! The theme tune gets on my :boobies: and it goes downhill from there! :laff:

Quite happily maim - Josie Jump - her enthusiasm and energy makes me want scream (if I could be bothered)

I love - Pingu! I can't wait till Ben's old enough to enjoy it.

Don't have a favourite character (yet)

Ben loves Balamory and Tellytubbies, but the most embarrasing thing is the way he says 'beebies' and switches the tv on!

[Blonde Girl]

[Which one can you just not stand?

Noddy - I HATE the little bell hatted freak! On C5 anyway - the one that is sometimes on CBeebies is OK.

Which Presenter/character would you happily maim?
Penny from Balamory - her voice just WINDS me up!

Which show do you love?
Pingu! So so sweet and actually quite funny too.

Boogie Beebies - for the presenter (yum yum)

Which character/presenter do you love?
Pete from Boogie Beebies - I like 'em fresh and perky!

[Cailín Deas]

MMM - sorry but he makes me want to beat him senseless. He is maddeningly irritating, has no personality whatever and is utterly, utterly talentless.

Feel better now - I've been dying to say that for a long time. :laff: :laff: :laff:

[Chocolate Lips]

Just watching Big Cook Little Cook...does anyone else substitute the words in the song or is it just me?

I cant help but sing "we've got the campest cafe in town" :doh:

[silverpod]

Which one can you just not stand?

Sarah Jane

Which show do you love?
Most of them :oops: mainly 'cos they give me 10 minutes peace!
Balamory
Big cook little cook
Boogie beebies
shiny show

But I find these have obviously been adapted for the grown ups!

Which character do you love?
Both :oops: from big cook, Pete from boogies beebies an I have a soft spot for Archie too. :oops:

DD likes them all, and teletubbies/tweenies too. but they are not so scripted for adults!

[Bex]

Which one can you just not stand?
Boogie beebies

Which Presenter/character would you happily maim?
archie the *@/#ing inventor!

[Abbie]

Which one can you just not stand?
Tikkabilla, Hi 5 (only discovered this one a couple of weeks ago and already I'd happily shoot the buggers) and Blues Clues

Which Presenter/character would you happily maim?
99% of them but mostly Sarah Jane from Tikkabilla, Little Cook Small, Miss Hoolie and all of Hi 5

Which show do you love?
None of them, I just can't bear to watch any of it but if forced I'll sit through Lazy Town and Angelina Ballerina

Which character do you love?
I quite fancy Justin Fletcher, Robbie Rotten from Lazy Town and wouldn't say no to Syd from Cbeebies

But also which one's do your LO's like and which leave them cold?
She's not really keen on any of the Cbeebies programmes these days, I think she's getting a bit old for them now but she's happy to watch anything on Nick Jr

[redhed]

Which one can you just not stand?
Bobinogs
Pingu - it was on when I was a kid and really bad then. Every time I watch it I get flashbacks of boooooooring afternoons.
Smarteenies - possibly the cr@ppest show ever

Which Presenter/character would you happily maim?
All of the presenters of Smarteenies. Plus the bloke off boogie beebies who looks as if he's just filling in between jobs on bad porn movies. Is it me, or do most childrens' TV presenters look like child molesters?

Which show do you love?
Roly Mo
Doodle Do

But I find these have obviously been adapted for the grown ups!

Which character do you love?
Stick from Doodle Do. Bless 'im.
Both snoots from Roly mo

[Karate]

Sarah-Jane Honeywell and Sarah from razzledazzle with the extremely annoying voice.

[Blonde Girl]

Which one can you just not stand?
Hi 5 (only discovered this one a couple of weeks ago and already I'd happily shoot the buggers)

I am not sure which of them I hate the most!!

[Bananatree]

Which one can you just not stand?
Lazy town/Boogie/beebies/Higgledy house

Which character do you love?
Quite like Archie the Inventor and big cook!!!

Uptowngirl

[popinjay1]

Which one can you just not stand? The Shiny Show seriously does my head in.... And Razzmatazz too.

Which Presenter/character would you happily maim? The new one, Ava, is it? I hate change!

Which show do you love? I am Lazy Town addicted at the moment...

Which character do you love? I love Archie from Balamory (I know, v embarassing). I also have a thing for the Doodle Doo presenter at the moment and had a rather erotic dream about him the other day...

But also which one's do your LO's like and which leave them cold? Claire loves Teletubbies, Lazy Town, Tweenies and Balamory but TBH we watch Milkshake on 5 most weekday mornings so she is more fond of the likes of Peppa Pig & Titch.

[Hello Kitty]

Which one can you just not stand?
The Shiny Show, Fab Lab and I am afraid I just don't get Lazytown :huh:

Which presenter/character would you happily maim?
That Sarah Jane woman and sometimes Sid gets on my nerves when he sings Sid says, Sid says!

Which show do you love?
I love Balamory and also Roly Mo. DH loves the Koala Brothers

Which Character do you love?
Definitely Hugo and Migo from Roly Mo

Which ones do your LO like and which leave them cold?
Grace loves Balamory and the Teletubbies. She has no time for Smarteenies and Razzledazzle and Bobinogs

[Moffgal]

Love this thread!

OK-
Which one can you just not stand?
Balamory. After lengthy discussion with DH last night we conclude that everything about this show is just wrong. It reminds me of the Wicker Man film-small remote island where everyone is a bit obsessed with the children in the nursery. It disturbs me.

Which presenter/character would you happily maim?
Definitely Sarah Jane (who is also the face of 'Available Car.com' I noticed the other day), and I'm not keen on Sid, with his dodgy disco dancing during 'Sid says' Oh and Nat from Boogie Beebies
Oh, and the Smarteenies gang. Sorry, must stop now, keep thinking of more people I can't stand!
Which show do you love?
Roly Mo, Backyardigans, Tweenies

Which Character do you love?
Big Cook Ben and the snoots from Roly Mo

Which ones do your LO like and which leave them cold?
Conor likes Big Cook Little Cook and the Tweenies best. Nothing he doesn't like that I've noticed

[Matilde]

We don't watch cbeebies very much :oops: (because I find the Wright stuff, loose women , saturday kitchen etc etc much more interesting,, even News 24!!)

I dont like the fimbles very much and have a pathological hatred of Dora the Exploradora (not the damsel but the cartoon character!!! the damsel is LOVELYLOVELYLOVELY!!!)

[Our lass]

My kids are too old to watch Ceebeebies and Cerys is too young to be watching it just yet but I have had the misfortune to come across the Chuckle Brothers on many occasions. I just can't stand them. I was looking after my 4 year old niece last month and she watched Lazy Town which is also awful. I must be getting old. :-(

[Cherrypie]

Which one can you just not stand?
Big Cock, Little Cock. Sadly Eilis seems to really enjoy it!

Which Presenter/character would you happily maim?
Sarah Jane Honeywell - and I think she's getting even MORE irritating if that's possible. All that false girly -girl ness, and stage school posing. Sorry - went off on one a bit there!

Which show do you love?
Pingu
Roly Mo

Which character do you love?
Syd
Yugo and Mego

[Mad Madam Mim]

I discovered the Backyardigans this morning in an effort to get some peace to put my make-up on and its fab! They were dancing the salsa and singing about being super villians - is it always like this? It was hysterical!

[sersha]

Which one can you just not stand?
The Shiny Show (kill, kill, kill)

Which Presenter/character would you happily maim?
Sarah Jane Honeywell

Which show do you love?
Balamory (can I be really sad and admit DH has it bookmarked and is actually watching it NOW even though Leah is asleep)

Which character do you love?
Archie from balamory

[polkadotgirl]

Which one can you just not stand?
Big Cock, Little Cock. Sadly Eilis seems to really enjoy it!

I thought I was the only person juvenile enough to call it this... very re-assuring that there are others :wik:

Which one can you just not stand?
I find most of them pretty annoying, but I've got a real aversion to Higgledy House and SJH's antics.

Which Presenter/character would you happily maim?
Sarah Jane Honeywell
PC Plum

Which show do you love?
Pingu
Charlie and Lola

Which character do you love?
Archie from Balamory reminds me slightly of my OH, but he'd be devastated if I told him that!

But also which one's do your LO's like and which leave them cold?

DS loves Teletubbies, the bits of Balamory where Miss Hoolie talks to the camera and Razzle Dazzle. Doesn't seem to be particularly keen on Tweenies or Fimbles.

[Mad Madam Mim]

Which show do you love?
Balamory (can I be really sad and admit DH has it bookmarked and is actually watching it NOW even though Leah is asleep)



:laff: the shame :no:

I've done this before now :oops: but usually becasue I've forgotton to switch it off :laff:

[August Girl]

I was PMSL reading this earlier but hadn't got both hands free to type. I can join in now. :ellie:

Which one can you just not stand? Where do I start? I hate Fab Lab, particularly the awful songs and the boy pixies flat droning voice. And Prof the dog is soooo camp. And Fab is a misnomer, they live in a shed FFS. I also hate Tweenies, because Bella is so bossy and her constant fussing with her dodgy staticy undercut hairdo annoys me.
Which Presenter/character would you happily maim?Sarah-Jane Honeywell! Higgledy House has got to be the most infuriating piece of tv EVER. And the canned toddler squealing really grates on my nerves.
Which show do you love?I so love Peppa Pig. All that oinking first thing in the morning :clap:
Which character do you love?I like it on the Teletubbies when they have 'The bear, the bear with the brown fuzzy hair' It's so cool. I love the lion. And I like Sportacus from Lazy Town, just to look at.

[Violet]

Which one can you just not stand?
Smarteenties especially pattern bloody palace!

Which Presenter/character would you happily maim?
Penny Pocket and Suzie Sweet aaarrghhh :doh:
And that very strange man Justin!

Which show do you love?
Razzledazzle
Charlie and Lola

Which character do you love?
Oooh I know...... that one with the dreads(sp) on Tikkabilla!

But also which one's do your LO's like and which leave them cold?
Likes
Brum, pingu, higgledy house, something special and come outside (and watches too much telly!)
Not too keen on
Doodledoo, smarteenies
[/b]

[Alycat]

Which one can you just not stand? - Lazytown and Fab Lab

Which Presenter/character would you happily maim? Sporticus from Lazytown- Well all of them really but him in particular :laff:

Which show do you love? - Dora the Expolrer, Evie has learnt a lot from this, even how to count to Spanish so it's a winner with me :) Oh and Charlie and Lola, I have even bought a few of the books and love reading these to Evie, they are even better than the programme :yes:

Which character do you love? - Primrose from Fifi & The Flowerotot's, she is so prim and proper I find her rather cute

[Sweet7]

Which one can you just not stand?
I hate the Tweenies. Then Balamory.

Which Presenter/character would you happily maim?
Miss Hoolie and all the tweenies.

Which show do you love?
Pingu; Charlie and Lola and I quite enjoy Lazy Town.

Which character do you love?
Sportacus - he's so fit and entertaining to watch! There is also a presenter on Tikkabilla whose name escapes me - coloured chap with mad hair - he has a nice deep voice. Also like the small picture/big picture chap in smarteenies.

But also which one's do your LO's like and which leave them cold?
Nay loves the Teletubbies, Pingu, Lazy Town, Tweenies (unfortunately) and Roly mo/Fimbles. Things like the shiny show and Balomory don't hold her attention as much.

[Sweet7]

Which character do you love?
Oooh I know...... that one with the dreads(sp) on Tikkabilla!
[/b]

That's the one I like as well!

[donna-j]

Cherrypie, that had passed me by completely, but now it will always be that it my head. We do sing 'The Baw, baw, baw-bag nogs' though.

Which one can you just not stand?
Higgledy house. The mime creeps me out.
The Shiny Show - this is awful, the wee buggers are so cheeky

Which Presenter/character would you happily maim?
Sarah Jane
Pc Plum

Which show do you love?
Doodle Doo is my fave
Roly Mo. I set Thomas up with a Hotmail account (I was bored) and Roly Mo is his password. When he finally uses it in about 10 years time he'll be mortified.
Charlie and Lola.
The Fimbles.

Which character do you love?
I am another one who fantasises about Chris from Doodle Doo, to my shame.

[MrsGucci]

Which one can you just not stand?
The Tweeny's

Which Presenter/character would you happily maim?
Sid

Which show do you love?
Boogie Beebies

Which character do you love?
Edie McCready! :)

[zwinnie]

Which one can you just not stand?
Balamory

Which Presenter/character would you happily maim?
Everyone in Balamory!

Which show do you love?
I really enjoy the humour on Doodle-Do (and the sarky comments from the presenter) and I also quite like the Tweenies, but that's just cos they're Lexie's favourites and I love the way she dances when they come on!

Which character do you love?
Presenter of Doodle Do

But also which one's do your LO's like and which leave them cold?
Lexie loves everything on CBeebies - see my thread (!) - but her favourites are Tweenies and Big Cook, Little Cook.

Actually, come to think of it, I only usually allow CBeebies between 4-6pm so there are loads of programmes that we just haven't seen. Might have to check out Lazytown!!!
