Sam's Top 7 Annoying Kid Shows
Now that spring has FINALLY sprung here in Maine, I figured I would give you some reasons to keep your kids even further away from the tube. And although I am a fan of the television, being in that I'm in the biz, when my kid does channel surf here are some of the shows, in no particular order, I opt for him NOT to watch.
1. The Wiggles - Admittedly I think I could handle just listening to their songs, but there's just something that makes me feel ill watching grown men dance, sing and act the way they do. *blech*
2. Yo-Gabba, Gabba - I just don't get it. I've heard some say it promotes good manners and the importance of healthy habits while making learning fun, but what is with the man with the big orange hair. "Come on, everybody." *Slap* The music seems like something I'd hear on an old Atari game and I just don't get it...
3. Lazy Town - Whenever I hear or see this show come on I have this sudden urge to set the television set on fire. That's all I've got to say about that.
4. Franklin - "Hey, it's Franklin....the whiny, turtle who's a big wimp!" That's it though, it just always seems like Franklin is whining about something every episode. Also, a side note, why is Franklin's name Franklin instead of Turtle. His friends are Bear and Duck...
5. Max & Ruby - Now, this show I've actually let my son watch before, but I'll tell ya what I don't get about this show, where are the parents? Now, I know Ruby sometimes acts like she's old enough to take care of Max, but we all know she isn't. She doesn't pay enough attention and that's why he's always getting into her things. Also, Ruby's voice...can you say annoying!!
6. Wow, Wow Wubbzy - Again, it's the voices. "Wow, everybody!" I haven't figured out what Wubbzy teaches our children either.
7. Oobi - It's hands...for goodness sake, the whole show...hands...hands eating, driving cars, playing in the garden, going to the bathroom. Do I need to say anything more.

7. Oobi - It's hands...for goodness sake, the whole show...hands...hands eating, driving cars, playing in the garden, going to the bathroom. Do I need to say anything more.So, there you have it. Now, I'm just dying to know yours. Please indulge me, give me more reason to click the off button.

You've forgotten Boohbah! What a trippy show that is!!!!
My son's a little older, so now I've entered the world of hating "Zoey 101."
mm. I know what you mean. I hate ALL of those shows and I'm not even a mum. I'm a thirteen-year-old girl and I'll tell ya, all those shows are so stupid. Good on you for not letting your child watch them. It's weird.
Oh god, Boohbah is the worst show...
I swear. When my brother and I were about 8 whenever boohbah came on he'd scream.
Ahem.
Me: Oh no! Boohbah's on!
Brother: AHHH! *runs away*
wubbzy is awesome! especially compared to some of the mindless shows like spongebob! Maybe wubbzy has no moral lesson in particular, but the atmosphere of the show is kind, characters treat each other well, and if kids watch it, it will sink in and make them a better person. watching mindless shows however, does exactly the opposite. And the voices you say? being bothered by the characters' voices is petty and is no reason not to let a kid watch a show.
