Re: Kids TV shows you hated

There was a lot of unmemorable (and now largely forgotten) tat on CBBC and CITV during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

What Was That Weird Show With That Bloke who had a white face and a long nose,he used to have a greenhouse i think.

Noseybonk from Jigsaw?

He usually only appeared in one short sketch per episode.

Grange Hill. I couldn't see the logic behind it where kids would go to school all day then come home to watch a programme about school.

Byker Grove. Never got into it. Would it be more popular if it was southern?

In the Night Garden. I was too old for it when it came out but it's bizarre and I just don't like it.

Jackanory was before my time but after it was merged into CBBC in the mid 1980s had it become a buzzword for you will find an exciting cartoon over on CITV?

I was never a great fan of Saturday morning kids TV.

I see what you mean. It reminds me of having my first mock examinations all day at school, and I went home I saw the TV and they had repeated the first Mr Bean episode - the one with Bean trying to cheat in an examination. I didn't want to be reminded of exams once I was home, and that was on!

I bet that kids even felt like that when Please Sir! or other school based programmes were on.

I preferred to watch BBC / ITV schools programmes at home after school over Grange Hill. They were about things other than school.

I liked Scooby Do, but agree about his hell-puppy nephew Scrappy Do.

Thomas The Tank Engine.

I don't know about Thomas the Tank - we wouldn't have had the late 1980s Bobby Davro parody of that if it hadn't have been on TV. And it kept Ringo Starr (as well as the Ringo Starr sound-alike Michael Angelis) in the spotlight after the Beatles and his solo career.

I liked Scooby Doo, but not Scooby Do.

Introducing that character, Scrappy Doo, totally wrecked that cartoon.

She was in Emu's All-Live Pink Windmill Show and other associated Emu programmes plus her own show, Grotbags. She was played by Carol Lee Scott, and, yes, she passed away a few months ago.

Ahhh thank you, yes i remember now with Rod and Emu.

Re: Kids TV shows you hated

I can imagine a lot of kids hating Emu's World and the Pink Windmill Show because of the resentment of seeing kids of their own age group performing and dancing on TV.
