Another show I don't like is Dora the Explorer. I am convinced that she's an illegal immigrant and I wish immigration would pick her up.

Thumb Wrestling Federation-Yet another pointless filler programme. I saw an episode of it once, it was a bit disgusting. I'm sorry guys, I just can't tell why I dislike it so much, there's just something not right about it.
Diddy Dick and Dom-look CBBC, you blew up the Bungalow, so let's bring Dick and Dom back to the sanity they had in the 90s and put everything else in that Bungalow in Davy Jones's Locker Room! Poor, gross out humour and awful voices. The Chipmunks sound better than that.

I'm really not too keen on "Survivor". Even though my family watches it, I've never been able to develop an interest in it. I've seen a few episodes and was a bit confused from watching them.

Not a big fan of Survivor myself, but then again I never really watched it enough to form an opinion about it. Though I'm really not big on reality TV anyway, so I doubt I'd enjoy it.
In other news, I forgot about that d**ned new show called "Samantha Who?" that comes on ABC. Something about it irks the hell out of me, I don't know why.

I was thinking about something relevant to this thread this morning. Most of the stuff that the kids of this decade enjoy, such as Bratz *choke* and Dora The Explorer are despised by those who grew up in the 80's and 90's, like myself. But , is it possible that those who grew up in, say, the 80's, have a dislike to the kids' shows of the 90's? Shows like Bananas In Pyjamas and Animaniacs that would've been staples of our childhoods would be considered mere nonsense to those who grew up in the 80's, same as we hate the garbage (to us, anyway) of this decade. You guys know what I'm getting at here?

You guys know what I'm getting at here? You're right. I've heard there are some older Disney fans who are angry that the old Walt Disney cartoons are shown little these days and despise things like Kim Possible simply because she exposes her belly button (it is doubted they have actually watched the show). It happens in loads of cases, older Trekkies disliking Enterprise etc. Back on track: Chins- I'm not sure if this counts as a programme or not, but if it does I hate it. There is something just not right about seeing upside down mouths talking.

Rubberdubbers is another show I've taken a dislike to. The characters just seem to always be in their own fantasy every episode, and I swear that shark has a unique form of Tourettes. "Ar ar arr." What the hell does that mean anyway!? I'd love to rant about Big Brother and how every-one makes a big deal out of it every year. But all I can think of at the moment is how there are multiple voices of Big Brother (including a female!), and in the Friday Night Games, there is an obsession with Ninjas and slippery surfaces. Stupid, stupid, stupid! Right, I'm done.

Maybe, Q.J, but I seem to recollect kids' TV of the 80's and early-mid 90's being liked, even by parents. The problem is, the shows of today don't have the same expertise as the older shows.
After another row on Big Brother recently, I must admit I'm getting thoroughly sick of the thing. It is symbolic of this age - lacking creativity and promoting stupidity.

One show I can't stand, which isn't really a show just reality TV s**t is Big F**king Brother. I'm sick to death of it, it's forever advertised on Channel 4 and E4. I hate, I HATE I!!! I wish someone would just cancel it.
Other than that, Boohbah is another show I can't stand. Boohbah is one childrens programme that is just s**t, I don't see why these stupid people make these daft programmes for children (Yes I know they're probably more advertised for Babies and Toodlers) but they're going to become stupid once they get older from watching that. Shows like Bob the Builder, Thomas and shows I watched as a kid would suit them better.
Other than those two shows, that's about it for me. I could rant on about how much I hate Big Brother, but that'll be a waste of time and a long post.

I've ignored Big Borther this year and I'm doing a good job of it which is a good thing. If only everyone else does the same.

I should've mentioned this earlier, but I hate "Dora the Explorer" with a passion. It's repetitive and very annoying. I've got two words for her: Learn English!
Forgive me for sounding harsh, but I really despise the show.

I've never seen the show, but I can assume that Dora is supposed to be teaching kids minimal Spanish, especially in a world where one out of every three people knows the language. It gives kids a jump start on learning a new language.

Although I'm an anime fan, there are a few anime series I hate. The one I hate the most is Taro the Space Alien. In that series, Taro the space alien is always playing tricks on the protagonist Takashi Horimachi. There were several moments in which I thought were tender friendship moments between Taro and Takashi, but they all turn out to be Taro playing more tricks on Takashi, and Taro's pranks always get Takashi into serious trouble. I have to admit, I hate tricksters; and if Taro is real and I happen to cross paths with him, I would tear him apart piece by piece!

RE Dora the Explorer.
Is that supposed to rhyme or something?

let me see... Big Brother, nothing I could say about this tripe hasn't been said already apart from I wish they would stop including the blooming thing in the so**ng ad breaks The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy (Billy's voice makes me want to smash the tv screen) America's/Britain's Next top model, (load of bints talking rubbish with bad music, no thank you!) They are my main pet hates, It's quite a relief having no TV at Uni, with dvdsyou know you can watch just what you want.

Dora The Explorer huh, I too hate that show and here's my reason why.
Whenever Dora runs into Swiper The Fox she yells "Swiper no swiping". Swiper stops. And that cheeses me off quite badly. What if a kid were to do that if they got their stuff nicked. It'd only encourage the bullies to bully them more. And I should know that! (not that I've tried saying Swiper no swiping...let's just say I've had bad experiences...)
And yes, the name's supposed to rhyme, although it's lost in translation.
You know, I don't understand why, but programmes that try to educate kids in this manner just seem to tick me off. I can't stand Say It With Noddy either. It seems to me that we're supposed to believe the entirety of Toytown really speaks Urdu and Martha Monkey is infact Spanish. OK, maybe not, but it weirds me out how everyone can understand Noddy whenever he speaks in those other languages. Oh, and if you're going to teach French, it's "levez-vous" when you're trying to get someone older than you to get up, not "leve-toi" (although given Noddy and Big Ears are close friends...) Get your French grammar right![/rant over]. I apologise if the last sentence got a bit geeky, I'm really ticked off.
In The Night Garden-merely a rehash of Tellietubbies, not good.
Fireman Sam (HIT Entertainment)-What do I despise? Elvis has become an utter dumb...donkey and then there's the addition of the Flood Family that cheeses me off...flipping Political Correctness.

Speaking of Hannah Montana... I one saw just a few minutes of that show, and I could tell it was pretty lame, and predictable. On a similar note, I've just noticed how her 'career' is shaping up. - Starts a new 'sitcom', - becomes a favourite pop icon with the girls, - and now releases records using her real name (which suck). and maybe she'll fade from the public eye in a few years, and then...? You decide! Now who does that remind you of? She had a sitcom, and a record deal similar to Ms. Cyrus. You guessed it; Hillary Duff, a.k.a. Lizzy McGuire. Notice the parallels? Exactly! For those don't know already, we in Australia have a reason to celebrate. Big Brother is finished in Australia!!!
From what I've heard, it's too expensive to keep up. Fair enough. Not to mention a huge waste of space!
