10) Back at the Barnyard: My husband is making me add this one. He thinks its stupid, has no plot, and is a waste of TV space. With voices like Wanda Sykes, it can have some crude humor.
But I heard him laughing at it yesterday……..
9) Lazy-Town: If anyone breaks out into song anymore, I’m going to bust the TV. The whole creepy guy that follows the girl around half the day, is way too freaky for me. He looks like he should be registered. You know what I mean.
The Upside Down Show: I cannot STAND this show. How in the world did we give these two guys a show on kids tv? If acting stupid for 30 min is the only requirement, I get it. The whole “remote” theory is totally something I want to argue with my 4 year old over. But if I can hit rewind and you would never exist, your onto something.
7) Wubbzy: Is wubbzy a boy or a girl?
6) Oobie: I cant wait to teach my child that speaking in half sentences make sense to….someone else who speaks in half sentences. Its not even the hands that are creepy…if you have seen their friend Freda (the foot) you will get nice and weirded out permanently.
5) Caillou: He is the whiniest kid out there…and did I miss why he has NO hair? Not any at all?
4) Booh Bah: What ARE these things? Mutated Marshmallows? Left over Teletubbie poops?
3) Yo Gabba Gabba: this import show can go back to the country from which it hailed from. I get that the bright colors keep kids attention, but its enough to make me feel like watching Barney is an Academy Award winning movie.
Does it remind anyone else of a cult?
2) Teletubbies: please tell me they have retired this show off of TV. Im not sure what is worse…the fact that Simon Cowell is the reason we see this crap on American television, or that they don’t speak a lick of real language with the characters. This is almost the worst children’s show on TV. I cant take you seriously anymore, Simon. You wouldn’t know crap if it showed up and you signed it.
WINNER OF WORST SHOW
Max and Ruby. Need I say more? Ruby is the biggest bossy B*otch on children’s television. And whats the deal with the no parents around? Maybe if they had parents around, ruby wouldn’t be treating Max like an invalid while she stands around being a bossy know-it-all all day.
What show do YOU hate the most?
Ok, I hate these shows:
1. Barney
2. Yo Gabba Gabba
3. All those dumb shows on Cartoon Network except for Pokemon!
4. The Backyardigans
And Finally, Dora! That show has really no purpose whatsoever!
P.S. I am 12 yrs old and my little sister watches these shows all the time……….
Actually I like The Backyardigans,it makes 007 refrences,I’m twelve too and think it’s cute.
Number on for me has to be Thomas and friends.Who greenlighted such a show? I need them to deliver a message to hell…
i HATE barny. i HATE pokemon, i hate anime , i hate the movie HOP, and i sort of hate boobahs.
p.s. this comment came from a nine year old
Now I want to know which ones you like and which are your kids favorites.
Aw, I like Max and Ruby! lol
I don’t like any others on your list, though, and can’t stand Dora the Explorer – sooo annoying!
All I can say is thank GOD my children love Sesame Street! I cannot stand Yo Gabba Gabba! I feel like I should be tripping on acid to understand that show.
I literally laughed out loud when reading your commentary on Max and Ruby! You are “preachin’ to the choir”!!!!!!!!!! I can NOT stand the sound of Ruby’s voice at all!!!!!! It definitely ranks #1 on my List!!!!!!!!! Thanks for a good laugh and teaching me how to make a tulle pom!

Since my kids are all grown up, I don’t know any of these shows except Caillou and that is only because it was the favorite show of my grandson when we visited them 3 years ago. He would watch it on TV and DVD ALL DAY LONG. He even had a DVD in the car that had to be on every minute he was in the car. Bill & I got to the point that we were seeing and hearing that bald little boy in our sleep. UGH!!!
I wasn’t going to comment until I read Max & Ruby. I spit my sweet tea all over my computer (and I don’t waste my liquid crack for anybody) but I said the EXACT SAME THING about Max & Ruby the other day. She has issues and is beyond bossy.
K, I also have to say that I LOVE spongebob, LOL. I watch it when the kids aren’t around sometimes, while I am working on the computer. His laugh makes me laugh SO. Hard.
Even though we went to see Yo Gabba Gabba live, it was painful for ME. My kids use to like it a lot, thankfully, not so much now. but I do have to say that when Jack Black was on Yo Gabba Gabba I laughed so hard I cried. And what about the “eerie” songs and music? It is just WEIRD.
Onto the others:
Max and Ruby, we like it here.
Tele tubbies, thank God they are not on anymore? My kids would hate them anyways!
Oobie, my kids like, LOL
Wow Wow Wubbzy my kids love too
The upside down show, my kids try to watch it, but I quickly change it. Yuckos.
Back at the barnyard is kinda creepy with the cows big boobies floppin’ everywhere..
I think that is all
Caillou…oh how I hate that whiny little brat and his equally whiny little sister Rosie.
Max & Ruby = STUPID…and where are their parents? Grandma visits occasionally but you never see them with parents.
Wubzy is genderless.
Aside from YGG, those Boobah things and the Teletubbies I don’t even know what the rest of them are. So maybe I’m lucky that way?
Right now Ethan is obsessed with the damn Power Rangers.
I want to beat my head against the wall. A metal, spiky wall. :s
Yup, Max & Ruby is definitely the worst! I don’t like My Little Pony or Agent Oso either.
I haven’t heard of half of these but yes, Max & Ruby ….. the WORST. I can’t stand Franklin either. Kaydee is finally getting into stuff like Good Luck Charlie and that is tolerable at best.
The # 7 should be # 1. DIE, YELLOW SATAN!
Three more honorable mentions:
Imagination Movers
Special Agent Oso
Little Einsteins
Forgot one more:
Honorable mention:
Yo Gabba Gabba!
My top 10:
10. Higglytown Heroes
9. Boombah
8. Teletubbies
7. Backyardigans
6. LazyTown
5. Go, Diego, Go
4. Doodlebops
3. Handy Manny
2. Dora the Explorer
1. Barney and Friends
I agree with everything but Max and Ruby, we love that show here.. you can add the wiggles to my list, oh and Barney.. ugh..
Sorry, I respectfully disagree with you on Lazy Town. I only allow my children to watch it because I secretly lust over Sporticus. Seriously, have you seen that man flip? He can rock my Lazy Town any day! LOL
My girls love Max and Ruby. Ruby is a typical bossy boots big sister and Max is your typical mischievous younger sibling. It is the best representation of birth order on TV.
I do agree with you about Yo Gabba Gabba. That show is one bad acid trip. I even blogged about it here.
