younger kids-teletubbies, the wiggles, backyardigans, and lazy town.

slightly older kids- hannah montana, that's so raven, suite life of zack and cody ect...they're all brightly colored, have stereotypes and clichés, and are unrealistic...in a bad way.

Whoa! 8O Thats a lot of posts for a thread was posted 6 months ago!
IMHO I think kiddie shows are the contributors to bad behaviour at pre-school
and general disinterest in education.
I feel sorry for all the parents that are forced to see those horrid timeslot wasting
shows from hell with their kids.

Barney is terrible, but Telletubbies and Blue's Clues have it beat i think (for being the worst show). I have no idea what they are showing today for kids.

I enjoyed "Pee-Wee's Playhouse."

Boohbah, I have absolutely no clue what they were on when they made this thing my brothers used to watch when they were little. I think the devil himself made it.
With trippy colors and farting noises the oddly shaped aliens came out of spinning pods and do some crazy dance with squeaky noises while a kid in the background shouts "Boohbah" over and over.
It creeped me out while I was in middle school.
Teletubbies and Barney also creeped me out but not when I was very little.

Also anything that's aired on Disney Channel since it stopped showing mainly cartoons years ago.

IMO, it's a tie between Barney and the Teletubbies. I find the Teletubbies just plain weird and disturbing. Also, I've always thought that show, along with Barney, was pretty bad, and from what I heard, Barney lacked educational value. Speaking of which, Wikipedia actually created a page dedicated to anti-Barney humor.

Some people seem to think that just because the show they make is targeted at kids they don't have to care about stuff like good acting, good plots, good characters, good anything. it also seems that since the mid-90's they think that everyone in the show must be filled unrealistic and perpetually happy, smiling people and every day is filled with glitter and giggles. Jeez, even Sesame Street occasionally deals with scary stuff like having to go to the hospital or losing your nest in a hurricane.

-Every Christian-themed kid's show I've seen is just beyond horrible. One of the worst ones I've seen was a movie about a big blue anthro gospel book named Psalty. it was basically Barney with Bible stuff. I posted a rant about it a few months or so earlier. The other worst one was on a cable show called Junior Christian Science and that was like zero-budget, had hideous puppets that would lip-sync very badly to gospel records, and they would tell you not to do drugs like cocaine and heroine and "all that bad stuff". The whole show was like everyone on it was high on something potent! It was creepy and surreal and like some really bad fever dream. And it was made in the late 90's or early 2000's but it looked like it was the 70's! But I guess my describing it isn't enough, you'd have to see the Youtube videos to really know... 8O

-Dingo Pictures. Oh my brothers, oh my sisters, anything made by Dingo Pictures. (got a bit like Dr. Suess there, didn't I?) :) The Animal Soccer game/movie gets the most "publicity" on the internet, but the ones that are obvious knock-offs of popular Disney movies like Pochahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame are just unbelievable when you see a side-by-side comparison. Hyenas in North America, The Eiffel Towel in Medieval France... Pochahontas yelling "NEIN! NEIN!" when John Smith was about to be shot. Amazing, she suddenly learned German as well as English in only one day! :lol: People who thought the Disney version was historically inaccurate should probably not watch.

-Caillou. Every episode can basically described as this: A four- year-old Charlie Brown Impersonator has to do something he doesn't want to do, and spends the rest of the episode whining in his nails on a chalkboard voice, "I don't WANT to blah blah blah!! !", and his very stupid parents let him.

-Arthur. Two Letters. D-W. I so want to wring that quasi-ardvarrk demon-girl's non-existant neck. Although I could be a brat to my own brother sometimes when I was a little girl, my parents wouldn't let me get away with it. And there was all the times *he* wrecked my stuff, did it on purpose and had no remorse...

-Dragon Tales. Seriously, the girl and her little brother Max. At least Arthur and D.W. were more like a real brother and sister, these two kids kids never failed to make my teeth rot. Always so very nice to each other all. The. Time. And those stupid, STUPID dragons, especially the blue, severely mentally-challenged one who made Barney look like Einstein.

Teletubbies, it is really annoying and awfully deranged and inappropriate content for a child with a young impressionable mind to watch.

Sponge Bob, Stupid annoying show with questionable stories for the target age group. If I used the language Sponge Bob and friends use when I was 10 and under I would have got sent to my room and perhaps got my mouth washed out with soap. Yet words like stupid, jerk and I think I recall have herd or read idiot are perfectly fine in Sponge Bob's world.

My twin sister and I had an anti-Barney birthday party. We got a Barney piñata and put a target on his belly with arrows sticking out.
>:D
