Ahem, mentally remove the extra “s” from my last post. Thanks.
And lorene just reminded me that I changed the words to Calliou’s theme song: “I’m just a brat who’s four, each day I bitch some more, my mommy is whore, Calliou!”
Not to be sung out loud, of course.
That’s the second time I have read a post by you, looked at the location next to your name and thought, “I wish!” Your reply in this thread being the other.
The Berenstain Bears have always creeped me out. It’s mostly their long claws that make me cringe, I think.
Thank you! I’m glad that you still like me even though I am typing like I got into Calliou’s parent’s stash today.
I want someone to put Baby Bop and Elmo in a locked room together, until they get so sick of one another’s squeaky baby-talk voices that they kill one another.
Eh, I’m at home with a sick 3-year-old today. This is keeping me (semi)sane.
Goddam do I hate that spoiled whiny little dick Caillou. And of course everyone’s right, it’s all the fault of his tree-fucking new-age ball-less parents. Oh, wait, I blame the creators of the show too. Yeah, great idea, let’s have a show about a kid who throws tantrums and cries and screams and plays passive-aggressive games, all so kids can learn…what exactly? That other kids can be dicks? They need a TV show to learn this? How about a TV show that explains to them how to deal with kids who act like Caillou, rather than a show that asks them to identify with Caillou?
Kipper is the only one who can save my sanity. Come here, Kipper…my precious Kipper… Kipper is gentle and kind without being a pussy. Kipper is adventerous and assertive without being a dick. Kipper is helpful, Kipper is thoughful, Kipper never throws tantrums.
Kipper rox. Tiger, though, can be somewhat of an asshole.
The funny thing is, I can’t read this line without mentally hearing it in a British accent like those characters have.
So, it would be arsehole, right?
I had to watch Blue’s Clues with the aforementioned sick child. That Joe couldn’t find his ass with both hands tied behind his back, I’ll bet…
I’m not sure if this is good or bad, but my 1.5 year old, upon seeing Angelina Ballerina appear on the screen, will now say “Rat!”. Undoubtedly prompted by the countless times she heard me refer to that little drama queen as The Dancing Rat.
I can’t agree more with everyone here complaining about Caillou. God, I hate that little weasel. I have this recurring dream of an auto on pedestrian accident with Noddy running down Caillou. Also, in my dream, Noddy backs up and runs him over a second time.
HaHa! This thread has put one big, giant smile on my face!
Caillou is pretty bad, but D.W. (Arthur’s little sister) takes the cake! I feel sorry for Arthur, I really do. 
Can’t Sportacas just ambulate like a normal person once?
I am now out of this TV demographic, but the memories are strong, believe me(burned into my brainpan and are the stuff of nightmares).
Let’s start positive, shall we?
I love Kipper–he is one cool dog. And I like Tiger, too. I liked everything about that show. Yay for UK! Quality programming–thank you.
Anyone remember Doug on Nickelodeon? Excellent kid show (grade school and up). It’s long gone, of course.
Now let’s just pry up this rock and take a peek, ok?
Barney–I have a theory about Barney. I think someday there will be a postal worker on the roof with an automatic weapon, screaming the Barney song.
Oobi–not familiar with (and thank god, apparently).
The Wiggles–beloved by my ever so Christian SIL–these are rampantly flaming talentless morons! Oh, never mind–I see the appeal. She mistakes “obvious gaydar clues” for “wholesomeness ala Donny Osmond”. :rolleyes:
Dora the Explorer. Gack. She has the world’s biggest head. It’s the monkey that gets to me. And the Spanish–cultural bigot that I am. And the repeating the show does. The repeating the show does. The show repeats stuff alot. Re- :rolleyes:
Sesame street–needs to work on its game, alot. How about more girl characters who aren’t complete fucktards? When we watched, Ruby was the hot new kid–Ruby is an idiot. I miss Bert and Ernie; there was some wicked humor on that show a loooong time ago.
Angelina–not a ballerina, but a borderline personality with an underlayment of narcissism. Great role model. not.
Caillou–Ky/oo. Thank you Canada. Is this payback for those draft dodgers? And why is he bald? Has he recently had chemotherapy? Is he a chronically ill kid (which would explain part way the indulgence that his parents show him?). Caillou is destined to be stuck against the fence during recess. His lunch will be stolen daily. He’s an ass. And so is his lil sister. And what is with the animators and those clothes the family wears? Nerd city–no, nerds dress better than that family!
Berenstain Bears–vomit. I hate the books (look! Papa is a clueless git! He has the emotional maturity of a 5 year old! Mama has no fashion sense and is a sanctimonous prig! Brother and Sister bear don’t even have names!)
Arthur–LOVE Arthur. I actually like DW. She is something else, but I know a kid who is DW incarnate (not one of my own, thank god).
So, that’s 2 decent shows out of how many?
I think he’d implode if he tried!
I bet Woody Strode could kick the shit out Sportacus without even using a net or pitchfork.
eleanorigby:
OMG, that’s right. She carries something with her to show her the way through unfamiliar territory, doesn’t she? It sings a song, and it’s called…what? The…chart? Darn, if only it repeated its own name a few more times, I might have remembered it.
Another question about Caillou’s (yeah, I can spell it) family: Why is his mother always pregnant? Do they sell the babies to finance their pot habit? If so, why haven’t I seen that episode? I’ll bet Caillou would find a way to make it all about him. Little asshole.
I’d like to see Woody Strode kick Caillou’s family’s whole entire collective ass.
Um, ditto! 
This thread makes me feel old. I have absolutely no idea what anyone is talking about…
What, you don’t have a three year old daughter like everyone else?
But you have heard of Sesame Street, right?
Anyone else remember the first time they saw Morgan Freeman in a movie and thought, “Hey, it’s that Easy Reader guy from Electric Company!”
