    Not theirs... yours!

    Which shows do your little ones watch that make you more or less likely to tear your hair out from the uncolored roots? (Am I giving away a little too much of myself there? ;) )

    Mine are 4 and they love Calliou, Arthur, Super Why, Wonder Pets, and Dora/Diego.

    I personally love Wonder Pets, their voices are adorable and I know what I'm getting. Super Why is educational and cute, so I'm okay with that, too.

    Calliou has been banned in my house, though, and I'm putting a moratorium on Arthur too, now that the kids have started saying "stupid."

    How about you ladies? Any suggestions?

    My kids are a lot older, but I used to love Arthur, Dora, Bear in the big blue house and Blues Clues(with Steve). Absolutely hated Calliou and Max and Ruby.

    I think I like who I am becoming...

    @meandmy243 UGH SPONGEBOB...I am vigilant about never letting my kids find out that disgusting thing exists.

    @purpleflowers Blue's Clues! Yeah, that's a gem, but unfortunately, Steve is too babyish for four-year-olds. Because they're super sophisticated with their PB&Js...

    I love YoGabbaGabba! I think they tolerate it, but I sing the songs, do the dances, and beatbox.
    I hate DinoDan, the Dino train, and the "soul train " Mickey mouse thingy.

    @devilstwinmama Ming Ming the duck! Yes! I love her. Gotta disagree with you and @JustBeachy on Yo Gabba Gabba, whose parties make me want to shoot him in the tummy tummy!

    I love Phineas and Ferb and Gravity Falls.  Caillou is a present from Satan. Seriously, how many times in one episode can they say his name?  Am I the only one who wanted to do seriously naughty things to Blues Clues Steve?

    I'll tolerate anything that grabs my twins attention at this point! Barney (baarff), Caillou (ridiculous), Cat in the Hate (I know, I know)…

    Gotta confess something, ladies... I have never even seen this much-hated Max and Ruby you speak of. I want to check it out, just for curiosity's sake, but now I'm afraid my kids will love it and I'll be screwed!

    I hate Max and Ruby too!!! Ruby is such a bossy little brat! Lol! My girls love Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Bubble Guppies. Line up line up everybody line up....that is constantly stuck in my head.

    I HATE harry the bunny & Mickey mouse clubhouse.

    I love word world!
  • @kindredspirit my daughter loves bubble guppies! She likes dora(gag) and blues clues, but I prefer joe over steve. Steve was around when I was a kid. He seems so monotone. Sesame street is a win. It changes often. Jacks big music show is awesome.

    All we ever watch is BabyFirst TV.  I'm terrified that she'll become a fan of Spongebob or something else similarly annoying.  For some reason, I cannot STAND Tec the Tractor.  And that Mio Mao show.

    The only channels 'allowed' here are Nick Jr., Disney Jr. and Sprout.  LO becomes obsessed w/ a different show each week, we do a lot of DVRing and On Demand watching.

    I don't mind Go Diego Go, I like Jungle Junction and Higglytown Heroes, Franklin, Miss Spider. I tolerate Blue's Clues.

    I hate The Upside Down Show, Max and Ruby is turned off immediately when it comes on, Caillou annoys the shit out of me, Little Bear creeps me out for some reason.  If for some reason I hear Spongebob or other big kid type action stuff (transformers and the like), I sprint like an Olympian to turn that shit off too.
