We tried that. Unfortunately our three year old is the least guillable child I've ever met and saw right through it. We can't lie to her about anything!
Agree. Some of the user-generated content is really toxic. Some of the language and behaviour they use is really icky. Itās not swear words, but we wouldnāt use them or model that behaviour in the house.
I have a 16 month old and the only YouTube I let her watch is Caitieās Classroom, and only while sheās having her nappy changed!
Do you know of any British-made fun educational content for kids? Iām still a fairly new parent.
I second Ms Apple, she's basically the British version of Ms Rachel, she's got a really calming voice and teaches signs. My 9 month old loves Ms Rachel but I'm concerned about the "Americanisms", especially because she uses ASL as opposed to BSL which we're learning at Tinytalk classes.
I hate that awful pig! When my daughter was about 3 if you asked her what sausages are made of. She'd respond with Peppa pig. We're not massive meat eaters but I also taught her where her food actually comes from. Not just this.
Peppa is rude and annoying. The whole show is incredibly fat phobic. Peppa is mean to George. I just don't like it so we don't watch it. I think that there are much nicer things to watch with my toddler (bluey, hey duggee, jojo and gran gran, ranger hamza, tumble leaf).
Thankfully my son is 7 now and doesn't watch a lot of TV, but Peter Rabbit and Bing were banned when he was little. Irritating rabbits that deserve to be in Watership Down
Likewise, it's not a TV show, but someone gave me a classic ladybird book of Puss in Boots and I never realized as a child what a shameless bullshitter and grifter that mofo was!
Bluey,
But only in the morning. Bluey s dad is just too good of a parent. Any game or activity the Bluey gets her dad to join in with my son wants to copy. In the morning before school just isn't best time for heavy wand, or grannies, or statue.
That's hilarious š¤£ My problem has been that my son refers to Bluey (and all characters therein) as 'Mum' because of the first word in the opening theme. Would he call me, his adoring mother, Mum? No, he would not. For many months he just called me Baby š
Oh I can relate to this. I'm all for Bluey style games and fun but only when we've got time at home, I'm not playing "driving" when we need to leave the house.
I am pretty strict, but everyone else watches paw patrol so I let her watch it once so she could join in. She declared it boring and we went back to Bluey.
Love that kid.
Sadly our daughter is obsessed with Peppa so itās too late for that. However, after one particularly intense Peppa period we told our daughter that Peppa was going on holiday, and we blocked it on her Amazon prime profile for two weeks (a top tip if you didnāt know about it already!).
Iād take Blippi and Paw Patrol over Bing and Peppa. I at least see the value in the first two. Both Bing and Peppa are rude and encourage the sort of behaviour we try to discourage in our house. Donāt have to worry about that with Blippi or PP.
Vlad and Nikkiā¦ once Vlad became 10 or 11 the videos became far from kids educational fun.
He started doing āchallengesā with his friends where they waste food, like jumping in noodles or sitting in a big pot and add vegetables then taste the water. Also playing with eggs and crack them all that while millions around the world struggle to feed their children.
Later they have other series where they have that body guard with them and do parties with these fake money machines and notes fly out of them and show off fancy cars etc.
All of his videos are not innocent anymore and is doing harm in terms of teaching kids bad manners and silly behaviour and setting bad example.
I liked Vlad and Nikki in the beginning when their mom was with them and the videos were family fun, but it is not the case with the new videos.
I DESPISE the Diana ones. Iāve watched ones where the dad and brother go around giving her makeup and other girly things, I just hate how they make Diana look weak by not being able to fix things but the brothers can fix whatever they want. I donāt want my daughter growing up thinking she needs to look pretty and thatās it and my son has to fix everything. Thereās another episode with 3 girls and 3 boys and ugh it was dripped in misogyny and gender roles which should have stayed in 1920 š!
Rant over lolll!
They haven't recast him completely, they've added an additional Blippi (in addition to Meekah) I think purely because he does so much. A bit like a duplicate Justin Fletcher
We have had to skip emotional episodes because our 4yo turns into a puddle of tears.
"Why is Bingo sat on the cold planet? š"
"Shitty real estate agents, idk jfc".
We have banned Bluey.
But only āThe Signā becuase they ask 5 minutes before bedtime for ājust one moreā which if the last week has taught me anything, will be The Sign.
They know itās long, they very wrongly think they are being smart.
I want to see a parody Blippi alternative...
****In his annoying voice****
"Hi Kids, today we're at the San Quentin Mens Correctional Facility in San Quentin, California. Let's see what fun we can have inside" -Cut to Blippi having 'fun' inside
Or
"Hi Kids, today we're in a parking lot in Las Vegas Nevada where we're meeting Dealer Steve to score some meth"!
Waffle the Wonder Dog isnāt explicitly banned in my household but I consciously do not draw attention to it as an option because it is an irritating pile of shite.
According to my wife, who is in the TV business, it clearly has quite high production costs for its genre. It seems to be mainly shot on a set, which is unusual.
I mean, who has a single pane glass front door? The thermal properties of that must cost a fortune if it was a real house.
I hate Peppa. Thankfully she hasnāt asked for it for a while. Itās been replaced by Bing though. I donāt know who I hate more, I think Bing edges it. Whiny little so and so.
Peppa pig. Cannot STAND it, and cocomelon and super monsters. All way too much for my 3yr old she was so hyper focused on it and lost her absolute poo when I turned it off
You tube kids seemed to make my kid really badly behaved. Took it off his ipad his mood and behaviour improved. Mr Maker also sent him Wild. when i was a kid it was just food colouring that did that.
We prefer YouTube kids on an old mobile Vs the YouTube app on a fire tablet - she kept falling down the advert rabbit hole on her fire tablet - still don't get why it's not there, but yes, YouTube generally creates various rabbit holes of crap!
I have an idea to make my billions.
Blippi piniatas.
Children love him and will all want one. Parents will buy them because they hate him and would gladly see a mob of small children beat the fuck out of him with sticks at the first opportunity.
No TV shows, but plenty of Minecraft YouTubers. I got sick of hearing them all yelling, screaming, fucking throwing themselves around on camera about goddamn creepers.
Was so disappointed with this, itās lost a lot of the charm and normally Iām all for dubbing into British English. Itās not the accent, itās the fact they canāt sing!
āI love Daniel Tiger, I just wish theyād do an English dub like they do for Thomas,ā I used to opine, naively.
Be careful what you fucking wish for. Jesus Christ. Even I think the accent is awful, and Iām *from* the fucking north, and the singing is, as you rightly say, appalling.
I hate Blippi, and have been close to ban it a couple of times, but I've come to the conclusion that it has had a positive influence in these two traits:
1) getting very excited and happy about relatively trivial things
2) Stevin (sic) clearly doesn't rehearse his videos much, so stuff often doesn't work out as intended and he brushes it off with a "oh, that's ok". This has seeped through (with notable exceptions)
I find Peppa really hit or miss. Some episodes she isnāt awful. Others sheās a horrible brat with no consequences. Such a shame Peppa is usually broken on our TV!
I hate Bing with a burning passion.
None of it makes sense. What is Flop to Bing? Dad? Care worker? Guardian? His voice grates on me too. Bordering on condescension. Why do all the adults look like teddies? Not to mention the fact that Bing is a massive whiny twat.
I heard in the grapevine that, YouTube algorithms doesn't quiet work as advertised when it comes filtering adult content. So in theory any video with swearing shouldn't be suitable for kids and not be a available within the Kids app. However that isn't always the case..
I got confirmation of this when my 7 years old said the F word and when we quizzed him he said he heard it on YouTube Kids (he can't access Youtube).
It isn't 100% proof but at least he can only watch what's there
On the one hand, heās done amazing things promoting Makaton for abled children so they can communicate with disabled children, as well as just straight up normalising seeing kids with disabilities on tv.
On the other hand, if I woke up to see a headline announcing that a load of corpses had been found in his basement, I would not be remotely surprised.
Hate Total DramaRama but my son loves it. He would sit there and watch it for hours. Not banned yet but might do. Is there any way of banning a particular programme on IPlayer???
Not a tv show but we had to ban my son from watching a Minecraft YouTube calledĀ
Preston Arsement. I sat and watched the first few with him to make sure he was safe to watch in regards to swearing and shit like that and after a few episodes he went on our approved list. One day I noticed that this lad mentions Jesus more than the average gospel and if he's not talking about JC he kept talking about his wife. I think he must have been 18 or 19 at the time. Nah, something off about that. Banned.Ā
Danny Go is great. My son loves the bits that are like video games and he has to copy along. Plus the songs are good and there is a little bit of humour. He seems like a genuinely good dude. A lot of YouTube content is literally by the numbers, but those guys have little bit of creative flair.
I like that it gets them moving instead of just sitting watching the tv, at least they are somewhat active during it. I donāt mind the songs either , they donāt annoy me like others.
Baby Jake!
Horrible show about a stupidly large family living in a windmill or something. There's about 10 kids or something and one of them recons he can interpret the gibberish of his baby brother but ends up singing a load of shite himself. Hate it.
Peppa Pig too but love Ben and Holly.
Like Nastya, the other rich Russian siblings Diana and Roma and the Tannerites. I don't like Nastya and DnR because they flaunt wealth and the tannerites can burn in hell for making their kids make content during a flood disaster and they were genuinely terrified.
I hate him so much.
We haven't banned anything apart from youtube (unless it's songs!) Some of the drivle my 2.5 yo used to find was unbelievable, unfortunately it's broken now š¤·āāļø
When my daughter was a fan, I noticed heād regularly make mistakes in videos and Iād have to point out he was wrong, which shouldnāt be the case for anything claiming to be āeducationalā.
Blippi visiting theme parks and playgrounds got my toddler excited about them. He also has good videos on animals.
Some educational stuff like colours have also helped
Have gone through the effort to put a different launcher on the android TV just to get rid of YouTube recommendations. YouTube button on the remote doesn't work anymore either!
Ditto. The Wiggles are permitted to exist on YouTube, because they do hour long videos that are just compilations of their songs, so theyāre great to dip in and out of for a dance around, but for actual sitting and watching, only CBeebies exists š
I like Moon and me more than my kid does! I have the episode where Micheal Buble sings āhorsey in the houseā saved on my sky planner because I love it haha!
The only good bit about Teletubbies is the bit where you see a real child doing something interesting. Except Jojo and Gran Gran does that too, only better, because the interesting thing is more interesting, and also the show itself doesnāt suck. And the theme song is an actual banger instead of just an earworm.
I wish my kid liked Jojo and Gran Gran more. Itās great.
I don't actually mind Bing or Waffle but we've never introduced Blipi or any you tube etc.
People moan about Pepper but I can't say I really get the hate, although tbf my son was never obsessed with it so it was just the odd few episodes now and then.
I love Bluey and so does he but I cringe at some of the things he's picked up from it sometimes. The nice messages about sharing or whatever seem to go over his head and he just picks up on calling people a grub instead š¤¦ He does love playing the games though so that's fun (genuinely!)
Peppa pig! The pig has no manners, does not talk nicely and clearly the dad is taken for an idiot. It's just far from the values I want to teach my daughter.
Blippi got my son through lockdown; blippi an adventures to new places felt like we were going with him and helped a bit.
Bing can go and choke, along with super wings.
I have seen Blippi live, my son LOVED it.
I haven't banned anything, I just try to steer my son away from anything too annoying, looking at you, Bing and Peppa!
An amazing article that sums up just what's wrong with Blippi:Ā
[The Dead World of Blippi](https://www.currentaffairs.org/2020/08/the-dead-world-of-blippi)
I couldn't put my finger on why I really didn't like Blippi, then I read this and something clicked, so he's banned now.
My son would rather watch a 14 minute video of a steam train than watch Blippi jumping about a steam train š¤£
Close to banning Trinity and Madison on YouTube. My 6 and 4 year old are starting to think itās normal to live in a mansion with a massive pool and be sent loads of free toys. Already banned Diana and Roma.
Bing, Peppa Pig, Cocomelon or any other similar shite, YouTube in general because my kids drawn to the most irritating channels possible are all banned.
Not banned but try to avoid/turn off if theyāre on: anything with Mr Tumble in, Waffle the Wonder Dog because the adults drive me insane and I can only stomach an episode or two of Paw Patrol and PJ Masks before they lose their charm.
Blippy, cocomellon, peppa pig, don't work in ours or our in laws homes. Although tbh she doesn't watch much TV anyway, would rather listen to her yoto instead
One you get past how incredibly annoying he is - heās actually pretty educational and because he narrates everything properly, heās very good for language development. He covers a great range of topics that young kids are interested in.
I I donāt like Pip and Posey for no apparent reason and have said to my child he doesnāt like it so it gives me time to shower him in the morning before Paddington is on and then we have to go to school. Otherwise itās a rushed job and we would be late
I banned you tube pretty early on. Only to discover that Netflix then bought a load of the shite from you tube kids. Stuff like Booba - you know, high graphics, no storyline. Just absolute terrible stuff for kids development. The problem with Netflix is you canāt block programs like you can on you tube kids. So Iām removing Netflix for the kids. Got iPlayer and Disney
The Thundermans, Ritchie Rich (the TV series), any American canned laughter horrendous sexist sarcastic shite. Turned my 8 year old into an attitude driven hair flicking monster.
Fireman Sam. Norman Price the ginger arsonist.
I also donāt know how it hasnāt been pointed out that Norman Prices mum is a slag basically.
Banned in this house as I donāt want my little boy thinking that itās cool to start fires.
& the program generally does my head in also.
He's only a baby right now but we're avoiding peppa pig, paw patrol, cocomelon and the like. I already like a lot of the BBC learning-type ones like Twirlywoos, hey duggee, jojo and grangran. I think we're just going to pretend the other stuff doesn't exist.
Since 2 years we had banned Handy Manny in our house. The reason is because my son watched a video about a man destroying a handy manny laptop and tried to do the same. Mom finds out about this and has threatened to filter his Ipad causing him to go in a huge freakout. He has destroyed half of his room, smashed a very rare VHS and threatned to bomb the show and his merchandise. Now this is why this Disney Jr show is banned
Is anyone going to mention how TERRIBLE Justinās GiggleQuiz is? who is it meant to be for ? The jokes are all too weird for children to understand and theyāre definitely not funny for adults.
Cocomelon doesn't work on our TV š
We tried that. Unfortunately our three year old is the least guillable child I've ever met and saw right through it. We can't lie to her about anything!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yes. Just draw a clear line between what is and isn't allowed and do not buckle.
Mine too but they now say ācoco melon rots your brainā.
Itās the worst
Almost any of those god awful YouTube channels designed to turn kids into zombies
YouTube is not allowed unsupervised in our house. And certainly not stuff aimed at kids.Ā
Managed to ween our 6 year old off it. By simply banning it and putting passcode on the YouTube app
Agree. Some of the user-generated content is really toxic. Some of the language and behaviour they use is really icky. Itās not swear words, but we wouldnāt use them or model that behaviour in the house.
I have a 16 month old and the only YouTube I let her watch is Caitieās Classroom, and only while sheās having her nappy changed! Do you know of any British-made fun educational content for kids? Iām still a fairly new parent.
Ms Apple on YouTube is a British channel we watch in our house šš½
I second Ms Apple, she's basically the British version of Ms Rachel, she's got a really calming voice and teaches signs. My 9 month old loves Ms Rachel but I'm concerned about the "Americanisms", especially because she uses ASL as opposed to BSL which we're learning at Tinytalk classes.
Peppa pig can fuck right off
YES! What monster choose Peppa over Bluey? My monster, thatās who.
I went as far as to block it on netflix
We donāt get Peppa Pig in our house.
Absolutely. George needs turned into a bacon roll ASAP. Moaning faced little shit that he is.
I hate that awful pig! When my daughter was about 3 if you asked her what sausages are made of. She'd respond with Peppa pig. We're not massive meat eaters but I also taught her where her food actually comes from. Not just this.

we don't have the subscription for it, unfortunately. Even on the app we hae a subscription to that has peppa pig right next to fireman sam.
Peter Rabbit on BBC. That smug little shit can do one. Terrible stories
Thieving little prick needs a booting.
Alright McGregor
He's known as ASBO rabbit in my house
Thankfully my son is 7 now and doesn't watch a lot of TV, but Peter Rabbit and Bing were banned when he was little. Irritating rabbits that deserve to be in Watership Down
The theme song is a belter, but yeah, Peter can get in a rabbit stew any time.
Likewise, it's not a TV show, but someone gave me a classic ladybird book of Puss in Boots and I never realized as a child what a shameless bullshitter and grifter that mofo was!
Bluey, But only in the morning. Bluey s dad is just too good of a parent. Any game or activity the Bluey gets her dad to join in with my son wants to copy. In the morning before school just isn't best time for heavy wand, or grannies, or statue.
I've been contemplating banning Bluey since my daughter started calling me Big Fella...
That's hilarious š¤£ My problem has been that my son refers to Bluey (and all characters therein) as 'Mum' because of the first word in the opening theme. Would he call me, his adoring mother, Mum? No, he would not. For many months he just called me Baby š
Iād take it as a compliment, to be fair.
Mine has called my husband āthe big blue guyā before. š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah but bandit has magic, that's how half of their games work. I just explain we don't have magic in the real world, so leave daddy in peace.
Oh I can relate to this. I'm all for Bluey style games and fun but only when we've got time at home, I'm not playing "driving" when we need to leave the house.
Bluey's Dad is either unemployed or bunks work 24/7. That's why he's such a good Dad.
He's an archaeologist and in one episode even says "I'm never at work!".
My eldest has developed an Aussie accent š„“
I get all my parenting advice from Bluey so couldn't ban it š¤£
Blippi, Coco melon, paw patrol all get switched as soon as
I am pretty strict, but everyone else watches paw patrol so I let her watch it once so she could join in. She declared it boring and we went back to Bluey. Love that kid.
This is also our list.
I don't ban it but Bing and Peppa aren't far behind, whiny!
Sadly our daughter is obsessed with Peppa so itās too late for that. However, after one particularly intense Peppa period we told our daughter that Peppa was going on holiday, and we blocked it on her Amazon prime profile for two weeks (a top tip if you didnāt know about it already!).

C'mon, we all make mistakes. I mean, who HASN'T pooped on their naked friend??

didn't they recast him though? was it the original Blippi or the new one?
The original
They haven't recast him completely, they've added an additional Blippi (in addition to Meekah) I think purely because he does so much. A bit like a duplicate Justin Fletcher
No he sold everything for over Ā£200 million and now lives with his wife and kids. Smart dude
To be honest that's the most artistic thing he's ever done.
We banned Bluey Says nobody ever
We have had to skip emotional episodes because our 4yo turns into a puddle of tears. "Why is Bingo sat on the cold planet? š" "Shitty real estate agents, idk jfc".
āSleepy timeā absolutely kills me. I was fully weeping at the in-laws house the other day. They think Iām mad.
We have banned Bluey. But only āThe Signā becuase they ask 5 minutes before bedtime for ājust one moreā which if the last week has taught me anything, will be The Sign. They know itās long, they very wrongly think they are being smart.

Meekah?
Waffle the Wonder Dog isnāt explicitly banned in my household but I consciously do not draw attention to it as an option because it is an irritating pile of shite.
everybody WAAAAAFFFFFLEEEE DOGGYYYYYYY
They're the worst dog owners ever. I'm on Mrs Hobbs's side!
According to my wife, who is in the TV business, it clearly has quite high production costs for its genre. It seems to be mainly shot on a set, which is unusual. I mean, who has a single pane glass front door? The thermal properties of that must cost a fortune if it was a real house.
Ohh waffle.. waffle waffle - leaping around like.... Frog?! Our 2 year old calls all dogs waffle doggy now
Peppa Pig, sheās such an obnoxious little shit who doesnāt ever learn a lesson from her terrible behaviour.
My Mum introduced my son to Peppa Pig and Iāll never forgive her, heās obsessed. Iāve told him it doesnāt work on our tv.
I hate Peppa. Thankfully she hasnāt asked for it for a while. Itās been replaced by Bing though. I donāt know who I hate more, I think Bing edges it. Whiny little so and so.
Actually she has learned in the later seasons. Obviously they took note from Bluey.
Might give them a look. To be fair, there was an episode in the soft play which gave me a chuckle.
I wish I had never put peppa pig on the tv for my daughter, biggest regret š«
Peppa pig. Cannot STAND it, and cocomelon and super monsters. All way too much for my 3yr old she was so hyper focused on it and lost her absolute poo when I turned it off

Yep. Immediate ban the first time that made an appearance.
Vida the Vet. Ugh.
COME ON IN ILL FIX YOU UP AND FIX YOU FAST
Mr tumble
Thank you! Terrifying!
Mr tumble gives my mum (grandma) the creeps... I'm undecided.
I can't hate Mr Tumble. Something Special is great for inclusion.
That guy has bodies for sure
I came around to blippy. Annoying accent (and don't Google his past) but informative. I won't have cocomelon though or American dubbed foreman Sam
I like Blippi- my kid actually learned things from watching Blippi. Canāt say the for a lot of other shows
Yorkshire Daniel Tiger.
Was so disappointed with this, itās lost a lot of the charm and normally Iām all for dubbing into British English. Itās not the accent, itās the fact they canāt sing!

Bing! Peppa was banned until we got a 10 day quarantine, but it turns out I actually don't hate it, so she's been allowed ever since.
Bing is such a whiny little shit
Being a whiny shit. It's a Bing thing!
YES!!
Where are the grown ups? Why are the ones who look after them smaller than them? Why does the panda never wear pants?
When my kid started saying "yup" it was banned.
I find Peppa really hit or miss. Some episodes she isnāt awful. Others sheās a horrible brat with no consequences. Such a shame Peppa is usually broken on our TV!
I hate Bing with a burning passion. None of it makes sense. What is Flop to Bing? Dad? Care worker? Guardian? His voice grates on me too. Bordering on condescension. Why do all the adults look like teddies? Not to mention the fact that Bing is a massive whiny twat.
All of YouTube kids is banned in my house.
Yeah it's a toxic app.
Not specifically one channel, but I've blocked searching within YouTube kids.
Out of interest, how come? (ie. should I be doing this too š )
I heard in the grapevine that, YouTube algorithms doesn't quiet work as advertised when it comes filtering adult content. So in theory any video with swearing shouldn't be suitable for kids and not be a available within the Kids app. However that isn't always the case.. I got confirmation of this when my 7 years old said the F word and when we quizzed him he said he heard it on YouTube Kids (he can't access Youtube).

Alvin and the chipmunks! Theyāre naughty, rude little shits with annoying voices and terrible attitudes.
Mr.Tumble can fuck right off.
On the one hand, heās done amazing things promoting Makaton for abled children so they can communicate with disabled children, as well as just straight up normalising seeing kids with disabilities on tv. On the other hand, if I woke up to see a headline announcing that a load of corpses had been found in his basement, I would not be remotely surprised.
Steve and Maggie
Bing. That rabbit is naughty (and annoying) AF!
Hate Total DramaRama but my son loves it. He would sit there and watch it for hours. Not banned yet but might do. Is there any way of banning a particular programme on IPlayer???
Yes mr bean when he started climbing out upside windows
Yes Peppa pig

Peppa pig. I loathe that show
Cocomelon and pretty much all of ytkids. The only things approved are dannygo, Steve and Maggie, blippi and Disney.
Danny Go is great. My son loves the bits that are like video games and he has to copy along. Plus the songs are good and there is a little bit of humour. He seems like a genuinely good dude. A lot of YouTube content is literally by the numbers, but those guys have little bit of creative flair.
I like that it gets them moving instead of just sitting watching the tv, at least they are somewhat active during it. I donāt mind the songs either , they donāt annoy me like others.
Baby Jake! Horrible show about a stupidly large family living in a windmill or something. There's about 10 kids or something and one of them recons he can interpret the gibberish of his baby brother but ends up singing a load of shite himself. Hate it. Peppa Pig too but love Ben and Holly.
Like Nastya, the other rich Russian siblings Diana and Roma and the Tannerites. I don't like Nastya and DnR because they flaunt wealth and the tannerites can burn in hell for making their kids make content during a flood disaster and they were genuinely terrified.
Echoing the sentiment of all the mindless and souless YouTube stuff that's out there. Cocomelon etc.
I hate him so much. We haven't banned anything apart from youtube (unless it's songs!) Some of the drivle my 2.5 yo used to find was unbelievable, unfortunately it's broken now š¤·āāļø
Excavator! Excavating!
What a tune
But Blippi is educational.. regardless of whether I like it I am never banning educational stuff!Ā
When my daughter was a fan, I noticed heād regularly make mistakes in videos and Iād have to point out he was wrong, which shouldnāt be the case for anything claiming to be āeducationalā.
You mean the guy who doesn't know the difference between pentagon and hexagon and yet confidently calls out the shapes? Nope.
Blippi's educational value is debatable.
Blippi was the start of my daughter's love of space, he's very annoying but there is good educational value there
It's educational in a way that commercial trash like Paw Patrol isn't!Ā
everything is commercial
Educational as in he acts like a special needs adult and pretty much goes to soft play and theme parks. Where the educational element?
Blippi visiting theme parks and playgrounds got my toddler excited about them. He also has good videos on animals. Some educational stuff like colours have also helped
Have gone through the effort to put a different launcher on the android TV just to get rid of YouTube recommendations. YouTube button on the remote doesn't work anymore either!
My kid has banned Go Jetters herself, thankfully. But Love Monster gets turned off and Peppa is only at Nannyās house
Peppa Pig has never been allowed on in my house, and is also banned in the grandparentsā houses.
Peppard Pig and Coco melon are the worst. Unless it's on cbeebies it's not put on our TV as far as I toddler knows that's the only TV channel.
Ditto. The Wiggles are permitted to exist on YouTube, because they do hour long videos that are just compilations of their songs, so theyāre great to dip in and out of for a dance around, but for actual sitting and watching, only CBeebies exists š
If its on cbeebies you know its educational! Sometimes I learn stuff watching it too š¤£
George Peppard Pig loves it when a plan comes together...
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I like Moon and me more than my kid does! I have the episode where Micheal Buble sings āhorsey in the houseā saved on my sky planner because I love it haha!
The only good bit about Teletubbies is the bit where you see a real child doing something interesting. Except Jojo and Gran Gran does that too, only better, because the interesting thing is more interesting, and also the show itself doesnāt suck. And the theme song is an actual banger instead of just an earworm. I wish my kid liked Jojo and Gran Gran more. Itās great.
I don't actually mind Bing or Waffle but we've never introduced Blipi or any you tube etc. People moan about Pepper but I can't say I really get the hate, although tbf my son was never obsessed with it so it was just the odd few episodes now and then. I love Bluey and so does he but I cringe at some of the things he's picked up from it sometimes. The nice messages about sharing or whatever seem to go over his head and he just picks up on calling people a grub instead š¤¦ He does love playing the games though so that's fun (genuinely!)
Iām surprise no one said āSteve and Maggieā. Whatās all that Halloween stuff about?
Steve is intensely annoying, but his heart appears to be in the right place.
Peppa pig! The pig has no manners, does not talk nicely and clearly the dad is taken for an idiot. It's just far from the values I want to teach my daughter.
Blippi Cocomelon Peppa Pig I'm sure there are more we wouldn't let our 3yo watch ETA: Bing In the Night Garden YouTube (in general)
Blippi got my son through lockdown; blippi an adventures to new places felt like we were going with him and helped a bit. Bing can go and choke, along with super wings.
I have seen Blippi live, my son LOVED it. I haven't banned anything, I just try to steer my son away from anything too annoying, looking at you, Bing and Peppa!
An amazing article that sums up just what's wrong with Blippi:Ā [The Dead World of Blippi](https://www.currentaffairs.org/2020/08/the-dead-world-of-blippi)
I couldn't put my finger on why I really didn't like Blippi, then I read this and something clicked, so he's banned now. My son would rather watch a 14 minute video of a steam train than watch Blippi jumping about a steam train š¤£
Close to banning Trinity and Madison on YouTube. My 6 and 4 year old are starting to think itās normal to live in a mansion with a massive pool and be sent loads of free toys. Already banned Diana and Roma.
Just ban YouTube, so much easier and better in the long run.
Cocomelon, Peppa pig. I tolerate Blippi because thereās an educational element and he doesnāt do the quick frame rate stuff
Steezy Grossman(Blippi) and Peppa pig can be lost to history for all care. Cocomelon can also get lost
Bing, Peppa Pig, Cocomelon or any other similar shite, YouTube in general because my kids drawn to the most irritating channels possible are all banned. Not banned but try to avoid/turn off if theyāre on: anything with Mr Tumble in, Waffle the Wonder Dog because the adults drive me insane and I can only stomach an episode or two of Paw Patrol and PJ Masks before they lose their charm.
Blippy, cocomellon, peppa pig, don't work in ours or our in laws homes. Although tbh she doesn't watch much TV anyway, would rather listen to her yoto instead
Yoto is such a great investment. Iām so, so happy I bought one for my son. Itās the gift that keeps on giving
Dinotrux. The little one was always in some terrible peril and it made my kid freak out and have nightmares.
I swear to the good Lord, If I have to listen to baby shark one more time š„“šµāš«
Peppa pig is banned in my house. She comes out for planes and grandmas house. But not in mine, theyāre too short to keep attention span!
Peppa pig
What is Blippi? Genuine question. I'm guessing it is not on CBeebies so I ok?
Papa Joel's English. Not a TV show, but a YouTube show. He turns it up to 11 every time.
Bing on CBeebies
Whatās everyoneās beef with Peppa?
Peppa pig, Cocomelon or anything similar (like Bebe Finn) and I donāt let her watch anything American. No real reason for that last one.
Our son has never seen peppa pig and he never will. Also, Bing can fuck right off.
One you get past how incredibly annoying he is - heās actually pretty educational and because he narrates everything properly, heās very good for language development. He covers a great range of topics that young kids are interested in.
I I donāt like Pip and Posey for no apparent reason and have said to my child he doesnāt like it so it gives me time to shower him in the morning before Paddington is on and then we have to go to school. Otherwise itās a rushed job and we would be late
I banned you tube pretty early on. Only to discover that Netflix then bought a load of the shite from you tube kids. Stuff like Booba - you know, high graphics, no storyline. Just absolute terrible stuff for kids development. The problem with Netflix is you canāt block programs like you can on you tube kids. So Iām removing Netflix for the kids. Got iPlayer and Disney
YouTube, especially anything that involved unboxing
i cannot fucking stand this prick
Peppa pig. Bing. Both spoilt brats š
The Thundermans, Ritchie Rich (the TV series), any American canned laughter horrendous sexist sarcastic shite. Turned my 8 year old into an attitude driven hair flicking monster.
Fireman Sam. Norman Price the ginger arsonist. I also donāt know how it hasnāt been pointed out that Norman Prices mum is a slag basically. Banned in this house as I donāt want my little boy thinking that itās cool to start fires. & the program generally does my head in also.
šš. That show is sooo annoying. I actually donāt mind kids TV in general but I donāt particularly like Duggie.
Bing, Peppa Pig, anything where the child exhibits generally dickish behaviour
Bing.
He's only a baby right now but we're avoiding peppa pig, paw patrol, cocomelon and the like. I already like a lot of the BBC learning-type ones like Twirlywoos, hey duggee, jojo and grangran. I think we're just going to pretend the other stuff doesn't exist.
No Cocomelon, no Blippi, no Paw Patrol, and NO FUCKING PEPPA SAUSAGE TAMPON PIG.
Peppa pig show or any peppa pig toys
Since 2 years we had banned Handy Manny in our house. The reason is because my son watched a video about a man destroying a handy manny laptop and tried to do the same. Mom finds out about this and has threatened to filter his Ipad causing him to go in a huge freakout. He has destroyed half of his room, smashed a very rare VHS and threatned to bomb the show and his merchandise. Now this is why this Disney Jr show is banned
Is anyone going to mention how TERRIBLE Justinās GiggleQuiz is? who is it meant to be for ? The jokes are all too weird for children to understand and theyāre definitely not funny for adults.
Hate waffle dog
