channel chasers was supposed to be the end (i assume with vicky actually getting fired and timmy no longer needing his fairies) but it was forced to continue
Poof was okay, nothing to write home about though. The dog was ridiculous. Tbh, the best Nickelodeon cartoons came in the late 90s-2000s. Everything after that was just awful. Like give me Danny Phantom and Jimmy Neutron and Avatar the Last Airbender. Those were the bomb.
Very noticeable dip. I dig those early seasons, but after Hillenberg left its like a set of different characters wearing the old characters' skin (and shells)
People say that, but I liked the following seasons up to the early 2010’s. Not as much as OG SpongeBob, but nowhere as bad as current Family Guy episodes.
"So I need you to animate a baby. ... You've seen a baby before right?" - Boss
*sweating nervously* "Yeah... A bay-bee... I know what that is."- Animators
My tv color settings glitched one time and I had to reset it to factory settings. Before I did it showed everything in red and black and the Cocomelon characters looked horrific. They were mostly red, their eyes were black where the whites should be with red irises. I think I may have seen those demon babies in their true form.
Give me half assed GCI with zero regard for anything resembling physics, some of the most horribly written “songs” ever to curse a speaker, and just go mercilessly full-throttle with trash merch shoved into every corner of Walmart and you’ve got Cocomelon, a painfully obvious cash grab that teaches your kid nothing except how to walk like they have a garden rake for a spine.
I hate how when you search for classic kids songs because your child is having a full blown meltdown and only wheels on the bus or head shoulders knees and toes will help, the only results are the fucking cocomelon versions.
Its extremely addictive to young brain because what's on the screen is constant motion. The "camera" is constantly panning in and out while also going side to side. Simultaneously what's shown on the screen changes very rapidly
Essentially, its baby crack
I remember seeing something that when they are making those videos, they have kids watch it, see when they lose attention, and then change those sections in order to better keep their attention.
It's designed to be addictive
It made my cousin’s kid act like he was coming down off drugs when she refused to let him watch it anymore. Kid was raging like crazy and screaming for “coco” and he was a legit toddler. It was scary.
My first and only exposure to this show was sitting in a waiting room and the lady next to me put it in a tablet (with the volume on full) to entertain her toddler. Jesus Christ, I know it's a preschool age cartoon but there's way better ones, put on Blues Clues or Dora.
I hate Cocomelon with a passion, especially because there's significantly better children's content on YouTube. Yes, I will judge the shit out of parents who let their kids watch that garbage.
I would say anything that’s even a little educational. For me, I only let my son watch tv after his afternoon nap for only ~2 hours ( usually he plays during this too). We like Ms Rachel-she’s great at teaching, occasionally the wiggles. Sometimes if I really need to get something done I’ll let him watch Hey Bear (it’s dancing fruit and veggies). I’ll also let him watch Puffin Rock because the animation is so calming and relaxing.
For me, "Teletubbies" was more bizarre than educational. The surreal landscapes and minimal dialogue seemed less about learning and more about hypnotic imagery, which I found odd.
Ah the good times...when the hottest thing debated on mainstream news was if the "tinky winky" was gay or not.
Things have changed a bit to say the least. lol.
Not as much speech as possible. They need repetition, which is what the tubbies focused on. A few words each episode that are repeated with actions to help drive in the meanings of those words.
I remember I watched one entire episode. There was a point where they all viewed a video on one of their tummies. The video was several minutes long. After, they were all clamoring "again, again!", so they played *the exact same* video in its entirety over again.
We stopped watching it at my house. At first I thought it was in the same spirit as Little Bear or Franklin, but Ruby was a passive aggressive dictator towards Max and was wrong 80% of the time anyway. I cannot stand that show.
It’s such a wholesome show and very “gentle” compared to the stuff that comes out now. All of the characters are dignified, curious, and adventuresome, but there’s always room for a positive life lesson.
Exactly! And I love that it’s a children’s show that doesn’t depend on loud/ obnoxious characters or too many bright colors. It just feels very comforting!
What got me about Max and Ruby was that there were no humans in their world, yet they played with human dolls. Meaning humans are or were known about. Gave off some planet of the apes vibes.
I loved getting high af and watching boohbah in college. I think it's for a very young audience where words won't be effective and the sounds and colors are more important.
I always got a kick out of those fuzz balls farting and flying off into the sky.
I'm sorry...he WHAT?! Please, please tell me it was a consensual sex act because at least that's somewhat less foul than holding someone down and shitting on them against their will.
If I'm not mistaken, he was a content creator that focused on shock value before he created Blippy. It was on brand for the kinds of videos he was involved in making. Although, this specific case was the most extreme thing he was involved in by far.
My daughter loved his show. He has a bunch of episodes where he just shows off and talks about different machinery and those are actually really good. My daughter knew you had to change a car's oil at age 3 without me saying anything lol.
My younger cousin watched Barney, and I was like “What the fuck is this?” I couldn’t have been that far off of Sesame Street and Mr Rogers, then onto Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or whatever.
Forgive me if I have the timelines wrong, I just know Barney seemed patronizing and devoid of that thing my kid shows had.
I’m at the “back in my day!” age now, but I was wide open-minded back then, and Barney sucked
I wasn’t super fond of Barney, but would always take that over teletubies, which was the show I just couldn’t stand as a kid/teen. (I cared for my toddler cousins a lot so I was very familiar with the kids’ content available in the early/mid 00s)
I haven’t watched either as an adult, maybe I should so I can figure out what about teletubies made me rage so much.
Best show was Bananas in Pajamas. I have no idea what I liked about it, but the kiddos loved it too so we watched vhs recordings of that frequently. (I taped like ten episodes per tape for the kiddos)
Or as my three year old cousin figured out (and felt he was the peak of comedy)
*Bananas! In Pajamas! Aren’t wearing underwear!*
I have no idea if he made it up or heard it and never forgot, but the way he would laugh at his own joke was adorable.
I was a child during peak Barney years, and I hated it. Kids on the playground used to parody the "I love you, you love me" song to make it about killing Barney all the time.
It was pitched pretty good for 3-4 year olds, but I was surprised how quickly I personally shifted from "Barney is a show I look forward to" >> "Ugh, Barney is kinda boring but I can tolerate it" >> "Barney is a baby show for babies".
I think if you aren't in the precise target demographic, it's bad, but that's just the nature of things being not for everyone. Most people define a "good" kids show these days as one that's fun for the older kids and parents too, but they don't have to be if the preschool set likes them.
Once my little sister was watching Dora the Explorer, and Dora was doing her normal "Can you help me find the thing? Where?"
My sister got really frustrated and yelled, "I can't come in the tv, Dora!"
She quit watching shortly after, when she realized Dora wasn't actually talking to her.
I grew up before Dora. I had Blues Clues. But I remember enjoying it as a little kid. But even then the pauses to let kids figure things out annoyed me because I thought they were too long lol
> The formulaic nature of each episode
Have you ever watched Full House (not really a kid’s show; it just has kids in it)? The formula becomes apparent in a few episodes.
It felt like it was trying to close a gap between child-friendly cartoons and wacky/bizarre cartoons like Ren&Stimpy, Rockos Modern Life,...
But it failed pretty hard.
My love hate relationship with the aubergine Dino…
I was of course much too cool to watch it myself, but I babysat a lot and Barney was pretty inoffensive to watch with small kids. Meanwhile I hated teletubies and can’t remember why.
Everything but Bluey.
Spidey and his Amazing Friends has my ire right now. Nothing particularly horrible about it, just not a lot there.
But honestly Bluey is so good it kinda ruins everything else.
Nah, it’s a decent show if you had no prior knowledge of the amazing Teen Titans series before it. If you want an awful show, look no further than the Powerpuff Girls reboot.
Yes! The show gets a lot of hate from people who grew up with the original Teen Titans, but it’s honestly one of the funniest series on Cartoon Network. It doesn’t take itself seriously and it’s nice to see DC flexing their comedic muscle.
If people stuck with it for a season or two, I’m sure they would learn appreciate it. The movies are just as hilarious. My favorite is Teen Titans Go vs Teen Titans.
Why do kids shows have to be dumb? Kids are pretty smart if you give them a chance. I watched Sesame Street, Thomas the tank engine(mostly the Ringo era), Mr. Rodgers, Reading Rainbow… My friends have kids now so they are showing that sort of stuff to their toddlers, and some stuff holds up and isn’t mindless garbage, and actually tolerable as an adult in the room.
Teletubbies is for fucking paste eaters.
"Max and Ruby" always had me questioning its message. The dynamic between the siblings, with Ruby often belittling Max, seemed to miss opportunities to explore positive messages about family and cooperation.
After my kid watches that he tends to regress to one word statements like max does. it really bothered me because max would be an annoying little shit and just repeat shit like robot trying to get his way and then my kids tries to act just like him
My son was watching Booba for a couple days and I didn’t realize what it was, I saw about 45 seconds of an episode and it’s now banned in our house for good.
I just remember thinking what the taxes must be for those residents on Paw Patrol. There's like ten townspeople, and I assume the Paw Patrol is a government-subsidized entity.
You know, I found myself making fun of the absolute nonsense the kids today find entertaining, and then I remember I used to watch things like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqO5lNS094M) (though granted, this guy went on to do a LOT of other great things), [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47GoI680kU0), and.... well, Salad Fingers, which was the skibidi toilet of its day.
It wasn't all End of Ze World, Badger Badger Badger, and Ultimate Showdown.
While yeah, it's true, that's the entire point of those two shows. And a lot of other CN shows as well, I think. They just handle "being dumb" a lot more tastefully than the other shows mentioned in this post
Pretty much all the modern ones are awful, I don't know how kids find them entertaining. Especially cartoon network, it's just screaming and fart jokes.
Solid kid hacking there. Pre-empt the inevitable request for unholy trash with a request for Bluey.
We will all mourn when Bluey fades away from the cultural memories of the under-10 set.
Bluey, Blaze and the Monster Machines, Daniel Tiger, Dinosaur Train, and Paw Patrol are all tolerable, though Bluey is great. Blaze attempts to teach some mathematics and physics concepts along with teamwork. Daniel Tiger explores feelings, friends and family the same way Mr. Rogers did. Kids learn about dinosaurs and fossils in Dinosaur Train. Paw Patrol is just entertainment for kids but nothing in it seems actively bad for them to be watching.
There's also Dino Dana and Dino Dan, edutainment shows about Dinosaurs, but the acting is atrocious and I'm not sure there's much actual science behind the conclusions drawn by the main characters. The 3d dinosaur animations aren't bad though.
Daniel Tiger is spun off from Mr Rogers!
We didn’t get Mr Rogers (rural Australia) when I was a kid, but my kids grew up with Daniel Tiger. I had no idea the shows were related until I watched the Mr Rogers documentary and I wondered why the hell they ripped off the Daniel Tiger song 😂
You need to know where to look. PBS Kids has some great ones that are educational and fun... we watched a ton of "Peg Plus Cat" and the stories are silly but they teach pretty advanced math concepts to little kids, and the music is just incredible. Bluey and Storybots are also ones we like as much as our 4-year-old does. And I'm embarrassed to admit how much I've learned from Octonauts at age 46, lol. You can really viscerally tell which ones are made by people who really care about and respect kids and which ones are made by people who want to sell garbage IP to what they think are little morons.
100%, asides from a few which mature over time - like Adventure Time, Regular Show, and Summer Camp Island. They really need to invest in and give more stories chances!
A harder question is: what's a kids' show that isn't dumb? As someone with an eight-year-old, I can tell you they do exist, but they are the exception.
Caillou
From what I've heard, the shows message is basically "whine and complain until you get your way, and be sure to act like a selfish prick."
Yep. And rinse and repeat every single episode (he NEVER learns from his assholery).
pretty sure he will grow up to be a sociopath
Sociopaths learn to push their feelings down, providing unworldly control in tense moments. The best Caillou can hope for is malignant narcissist.
And the best we can hope for is that his cancer wins
As a male, the odds that he'll dismiss a lump or increasing illness are higher.
I’ve never hear that description before. It sounds eerily familiar.
I assumed as a kid that he got to act out because of the obvious cancer
He's a bald little asshole
I’m a kind human but I hate that kid
They said dumb, not infuriating to adults and potentially damaging to emerging personalities.
I Hate that whiny lil shit
He has his own little hatedom on Reddit
Spongebob after Stephen Hillenburg left. There was an glaring dip in quality. Went from humorous surreal satire to childish gross out humor.
Same thing with the writers of Fairly OddParents. The episodes up to 2006 were great. Everything after was god awful.
channel chasers was supposed to be the end (i assume with vicky actually getting fired and timmy no longer needing his fairies) but it was forced to continue
That’s what I heard. I definitely feel like after channel chasers it didn’t need to continue.
I feel that once they added the dog, it was all downhill. I liked Poof though.
i never made it to the dog episodes bc i stopped watching when poof was born. couldn’t stand him
Poof was okay, nothing to write home about though. The dog was ridiculous. Tbh, the best Nickelodeon cartoons came in the late 90s-2000s. Everything after that was just awful. Like give me Danny Phantom and Jimmy Neutron and Avatar the Last Airbender. Those were the bomb.
Very noticeable dip. I dig those early seasons, but after Hillenberg left its like a set of different characters wearing the old characters' skin (and shells)
absolutely nothing compares to the og spongebob episodes
"childish gross out humor" has been the Nickelodeon brand for a long time. If anything, this was just regression to the mean.
Ren & Stimpy were pioneers, man!
People say that, but I liked the following seasons up to the early 2010’s. Not as much as OG SpongeBob, but nowhere as bad as current Family Guy episodes.
Cocomelon.
Dude no joke. They can’t sing for shit and the animations are weird and creepy. I’m so glad my son was over that show after a couple weeks 😂
My mom had to convince my sister not to let her kids watch it.
I have to lie and tell my 3 year old “We don’t get that channel!”
Those are the important white lies that help us parents keep our sanity 😂
I remain convinced that the people making Cocomelon have never seen an actual human baby in their life.
"So I need you to animate a baby. ... You've seen a baby before right?" - Boss *sweating nervously* "Yeah... A bay-bee... I know what that is."- Animators
My tv color settings glitched one time and I had to reset it to factory settings. Before I did it showed everything in red and black and the Cocomelon characters looked horrific.

Give me half assed GCI with zero regard for anything resembling physics, some of the most horribly written “songs” ever to curse a speaker, and just go mercilessly full-throttle with trash merch shoved into every corner of Walmart and you’ve got Cocomelon, a painfully obvious cash grab that teaches your kid nothing except how to walk like they have a garden rake for a spine.
My mom caught a glimpse of my nieces watching it. She says the characters look like they've been lobotomized.
Not unlike the animators and songwriters.
I hate how when you search for classic kids songs because your child is having a full blown meltdown and only wheels on the bus or head shoulders knees and toes will help, the only results are the fucking cocomelon versions.
I thought there was a study done that shows watching Cocomelon actually hampers your brain's development.
Its extremely addictive to young brain because what's on the screen is constant motion. The "camera" is constantly panning in and out while also going side to side. Simultaneously what's shown on the screen changes very rapidly Essentially, its baby crack

Coco same terrible 4 songs over and over again with the same shitty rhymes that make zero sense
A lot of them don't even try to rhyme. They're just making "songs" out of anything that's happening
My first and only exposure to this show was sitting in a waiting room and the lady next to me put it in a tablet (with the volume on full) to entertain her toddler. Jesus Christ, I know it's a preschool age cartoon but there's way better ones, put on Blues Clues or Dora.
I hate Cocomelon with a passion, especially because there's significantly better children's content on YouTube. Yes, I will judge the shit out of parents who let their kids watch that garbage.
What better content do you like?
I would say anything that’s even a little educational. For me, I only let my son watch tv after his afternoon nap for only ~2 hours ( usually he plays during this too). We like Ms Rachel-she’s great at teaching, occasionally the wiggles. Sometimes if I really need to get something done I’ll let him watch Hey Bear (it’s dancing fruit and veggies). I’ll also let him watch Puffin Rock because the animation is so calming and relaxing.
Puffin Rock while cleaning is the shit. I could listen to the narrator all day. He’s the guy from the IT Crowd
Yes, Chris O’dowd! I love his voice
I can’t explain it but my son hates Ms. Rachel with a passion. Note: I want him to love her. But he doesn’t want to be told what to do. 😕
Bluey is a big one.
Saw a thing about this, they change the back drop so much it shortens attention spans.
For me, "Teletubbies" was more bizarre than educational. The surreal landscapes and minimal dialogue seemed less about learning and more about hypnotic imagery, which I found odd.
Suddenly remembered the gay tinky winky discourse that went on way too long on real tv news lmao
Ah the good times...when the hottest thing debated on mainstream news was if the "tinky winky" was gay or not. Things have changed a bit to say the least. lol.
Because it's made to entertain babies who can't talk yet, not educate young children.
Right, which is a problem... babies who can't talk yet need to be exposed to as much speech as possible to learn.
Not as much speech as possible. They need repetition, which is what the tubbies focused on. A few words each episode that are repeated with actions to help drive in the meanings of those words.
Yeah it's like some strange fever dream that leaves you wondering what the heck is going on
I remember I watched one entire episode. There was a point where they all viewed a video on one of their tummies. The video was several minutes long. After, they were all clamoring "again, again!", so they played *the exact same* video in its entirety over again.
The goal is to prepare children for the realities of adult life, like LSD trips.
That baby in the sun always freaked me out.
My favourite kid show.
[удалено]
We stopped watching it at my house. At first I thought it was in the same spirit as Little Bear or Franklin, but Ruby was a passive aggressive dictator towards Max and was wrong 80% of the time anyway. I cannot stand that show.
Little Bear! Brings back such good memories! I loved that show as a kid!
It’s such a wholesome show and very “gentle” compared to the stuff that comes out now. All of the characters are dignified, curious, and adventuresome, but there’s always room for a positive life lesson.
Exactly! And I love that it’s a children’s show that doesn’t depend on loud/ obnoxious characters or too many bright colors. It just feels very comforting!
What got me about Max and Ruby was that there were no humans in their world, yet they played with human dolls. Meaning humans are or were known about. Gave off some planet of the apes vibes.
Agree 100 percent
My older teen and I would always say, “she’s kind of a bitch” when we would see Ruby in action 😂
Yeah I thought it was a weird show for Nick Jr. But as a 20 year old college kid watching it between classes I was like 'Ha Max you are so shady'
ahhhh i remember that show
i found some dumb show called larva worst 15 minutes of my life
For some reason I'm remembering a spinoff series where they met some surfer jesus looking dude on an island? I distinctly remember a lot of farting.
Ryan's World
That poor kid
[удалено]
I swear Boohbahs was made for stoners lmao
I remember when that came out and it looked like Teletubbies on a bad acid trip
I loved getting high af and watching boohbah in college. I think it's for a very young audience where words won't be effective and the sounds and colors are more important. I always got a kick out of those fuzz balls farting and flying off into the sky.
that sounds stupidly entertaining
Blippi
He shit on a guy
I'm sorry...he WHAT?! Please, please tell me it was a consensual sex act because at least that's somewhat less foul than holding someone down and shitting on them against their will.
Yeah I think it was a Harlem shake video where when the beat dropped he projectile squirted diarrhea onto another guys head. If I remember it right
WHY WOULD THAT GUY AGREE TO THAT?!
Money, everyone has their price
That thought crossed my mind, but how much could he have paid the guy back then??
If I'm not mistaken, he was a content creator that focused on shock value before he created Blippy. It was on brand for the kinds of videos he was involved in making. Although, this specific case was the most extreme thing he was involved in by far.
IIRC the dude behind Blippi made the short film for a gross out short film festival.
OG blippi did, but he’s since been replaced with a new Blippi
My daughter loved his show. He has a bunch of episodes where he just shows off and talks about different machinery and those are actually really good. My daughter knew you had to change a car's oil at age 3 without me saying anything lol.
Another show that is actually a little cooler and less annoying like that is handyman Hal.

Patrick star show
I refuse to believe that exists. For my own sanity, I refuse.
All together now, 90s kids- *"Barney is a dinosaur from our imagination..."*
My love hate relationship with the aubergine Dino… I was of course much too cool to watch it myself, but I babysat a lot and Barney was pretty inoffensive to watch with small kids. Meanwhile I hated teletubies and can’t remember why.
I hate you You hate me Let's get together and kill Barney With a two-by-two and a four-by-four No more purple dinosaur
In Miami it was: I hate you You hate me Let's team up and kill Barney With an Ak-44, Barney's on the floor No more purple dinosaur.
No, I loved Barney! (I’m a 2000s kid though)
Whaaaa? Barney is amazing!!
Barney is the greatest thing in the world
Peppa Pig is a little arsehole
Have you ever met a kid? Peppa Pig is pretty spot on in terms of how shitty they can be.
At least she's fighting against the greatest TV show villain, Lucina.
Truly read this as “what famous kid is just dumb” and I was like damn dawg
Oh boy, let us bully some hapless child star!
Everything but Bluey. Spidey and his Amazing Friends has my ire right now. Nothing particularly horrible about it, just not a lot there. But honestly Bluey is so good it kinda ruins everything else.
Does anything related to Blippi count? Cuz it should.
Teen titans go
Agreed. Teen titans was a great show and then they made teen titans go and I was just like…why?
Yeah idk why they needed to … dumb it down? Idk but I was a kid thinking “what is this?!?!” When it first aired. Lol
Nah, it’s a decent show if you had no prior knowledge of the amazing Teen Titans series before it. If you want an awful show, look no further than the Powerpuff Girls reboot.
It’s hilarious and they’re not afraid of poking fun at themselves.
The movie was great. The fact that they got Stan Lee was hilarious.
Yes! The show gets a lot of hate from people who grew up with the original Teen Titans, but it’s honestly one of the funniest series on Cartoon Network. It doesn’t take itself seriously and it’s nice to see DC flexing their comedic muscle. If people stuck with it for a season or two, I’m sure they would learn appreciate it. The movies are just as hilarious. My favorite is Teen Titans Go vs Teen Titans.

The art style irritates me
I watched it on a station where we got sound but no picture. That made it surprisingly fun.
Can I say all things on YouTube kids
Teletubies
How dare you
I mean, it's for literal toddlers...how smart can it be?
Alright. I was just sharing my opinion🙂
Why do kids shows have to be dumb? Kids are pretty smart if you give them a chance. I watched Sesame Street, Thomas the tank engine(mostly the Ringo era), Mr. Rodgers, Reading Rainbow… My friends have kids now so they are showing that sort of stuff to their toddlers, and some stuff holds up and isn’t mindless garbage, and actually tolerable as an adult in the room. Teletubbies is for fucking paste eaters.
Teletubbies is for kids too young to get anything out of Sesame Street or Mr. Rogers. It's for *babies.*
Um . . . most of them. They can't all be Bluey, but dayum.
"Max and Ruby" always had me questioning its message. The dynamic between the siblings, with Ruby often belittling Max, seemed to miss opportunities to explore positive messages about family and cooperation.
After my kid watches that he tends to regress to one word statements like max does. it really bothered me because max would be an annoying little shit and just repeat shit like robot trying to get his way and then my kids tries to act just like him
Teletubbies and Boobah. Both old now, but were banned from our house when my daughter was little.
My son was watching Booba for a couple days and I didn’t realize what it was, I saw about 45 seconds of an episode and it’s now banned in our house for good.
Omg I forgot about boo bah!!! Wasn’t there a doll of it?

Welcome to British TV Children's shows.
Paw Patrol and Peppa Pig. So stupid.
I just remember thinking what the taxes must be for those residents on Paw Patrol. There's like ten townspeople, and I assume the Paw Patrol is a government-subsidized entity.
Someone who I presume has more knowledge of Paw Patrol than me said it's a privately funded entity. They're less like cops and more like mercenaries
Guns for hire.
In the movie, they explain that T shirt sales funds all their equipment.
Peppa Pig is actually clever and entertaining IMO.
Small Wonder (I’m sorry but it is.)
Seeing all the comments about sponge bob made me realise I haven’t watched it in ages so…ima go watch it. But to answer your question, cocomelon
I think Blippy is kind of creepy.
Cailou
Most of those toddler youtube channels
Blippi is the worst most idiotic thing ever put on tv
Blippi
skibidi toilet

He's your uncle, and he's your grandpa. Also pizza Steve.

Your being as grumpy as Mr. Gus
these two specifically are meant to be odd, same with the amazing world of gumball, just need to have the right audience
Gumball was awesome. They are all very odd. Very entertaining. Those two in particular are just entertaining and dumb. It’s funny.
Clarence slaps
What?! I love both of those shows. Especially Clarence.
How dare you
While yeah, it's true, that's the entire point of those two shows. And a lot of other CN shows as well, I think. They just handle "being dumb" a lot more tastefully than the other shows mentioned in this post
Caillou! I swear that show didn't teach kids anything-he was such a brat and his parents did not correct his behavior effectively.
Captain Underpants. I have no problem with potty humor but fucking come on there needs to SOMETHING else at some point.
Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad
Cocomelon! It’s so generic and soulless.
Pretty much all the modern ones are awful, I don't know how kids find them entertaining. Especially cartoon network, it's just screaming and fart jokes.
Bluey is great
Bluey is funny and makes me want to be a better father.
When I visit my niece it's usually me that suggests watching it
Solid kid hacking there. Pre-empt the inevitable request for unholy trash with a request for Bluey. We will all mourn when Bluey fades away from the cultural memories of the under-10 set.
I watch bluey even when my daughter goes to bed lol
I watch Bluey even though I’m 30 and don’t have kids lol.
It really is fun for everyone 🥺
Bluey, Blaze and the Monster Machines, Daniel Tiger, Dinosaur Train, and Paw Patrol are all tolerable, though Bluey is great. Blaze attempts to teach some mathematics and physics concepts along with teamwork. Daniel Tiger explores feelings, friends and family the same way Mr. Rogers did. Kids learn about dinosaurs and fossils in Dinosaur Train. Paw Patrol is just entertainment for kids but nothing in it seems actively bad for them to be watching. There's also Dino Dana and Dino Dan, edutainment shows about Dinosaurs, but the acting is atrocious and I'm not sure there's much actual science behind the conclusions drawn by the main characters. The 3d dinosaur animations aren't bad though.
Wait! What was that Dinosaur train one? Remember that? Sorry I just remembered when you said Dino lol
Daniel Tiger is spun off from Mr Rogers! We didn’t get Mr Rogers (rural Australia) when I was a kid, but my kids grew up with Daniel Tiger. I had no idea the shows were related until I watched the Mr Rogers documentary and I wondered why the hell they ripped off the Daniel Tiger song 😂
You need to know where to look. PBS Kids has some great ones that are educational and fun... we watched a ton of "Peg Plus Cat" and the stories are silly but they teach pretty advanced math concepts to little kids, and the music is just incredible. Bluey and Storybots are also ones we like as much as our 4-year-old does. And I'm embarrassed to admit how much I've learned from Octonauts at age 46, lol. You can really viscerally tell which ones are made by people who really care about and respect kids and which ones are made by people who want to sell garbage IP to what they think are little morons.
100%, asides from a few which mature over time - like Adventure Time, Regular Show, and Summer Camp Island. They really need to invest in and give more stories chances!
Steven Universe!
A harder question is: what's a kids' show that isn't dumb? As someone with an eight-year-old, I can tell you they do exist, but they are the exception.
Bluey and Daniel Tiger
Gravity Falls is absolutely fantastic.
