Poll question: Most obnoxious kids' show character?
Disclaimer: I actually like some of these characters, though the only truly evil one is not mentioned by name.

10. Nails on the blackboard. There are plenty of charming, "challenged" actors
out there, why did they choose that obnoxious 32 year old in a "challenged" child's costume?!

GGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Yes, I know the one.

Did I mention,

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

2. Caillou, I think it's French for "Whiny bastard"
never before has a cartoon so grated on my nerves.

3. Had to pick Calliou over Barney because . . .
Barney isn't nearly as bad as those obnoxious little twerp adults pretending to be kids on Barney.

Since I'm an insulin-deppendent diabetic, I have been given medical advice to avoid Caillou at all costs, even though my kid (God help me) kind of likes it. Thank God he never, ever, liked Barney!

4. That Arthur show is fucking annoying.
Barney is old hat nowadays. I don't think he has the impact towards kids that he used to have. However, that Arthur character (and the show) is one of the worst things in children's television, IMO.

5. You haven't even touched on the latest and the worst. My kid watches
Disney Channel. Oh my, all these little pipsqueaks think they're rock stars. I am talking the channel that gave the world Hillary Duff, who has been a pain in my ass for over a year now.

Disney has become the main purveyor of shows with smart mouthed kids who are constantly making their parents look stupid and saving them from themselves because they (the parents) are so stupid they are clueless.

I LOVE Kim Possible, and so does my 6 1/2 year old son.

9. "I am Squidward, he is Squidward,
we are all Squidward."

If you think about it deeply enough, so very, very true.

Gad, I guess I need a hobby!

Hands down, the absolute, effing worst.

15. I was flipping thru channels on my day off one day...
...and I caught that show on PBS. it was REALLY bad, but it wasn't immediate channel-changing worthy like Arthur.

17. No one has mentioned "The Wiggles" yet.
Especially Captain Feathersword - or as he's called at our house, "Captain Flaming-Sword".

32. Captain Flaming-Sword???
ROTFLMAO!

The first time I saw those guys sing and dance, all I could think was, "And Jerry Falwell is upset about Tinky-Winky?????"

24. AVOID. AVOID. AVOID.
Edited on Sun Sep-07-03 11:11 PM by blondeatlast
All you need to know is that it is live action and titled "The Wiggles." Oh, and they sing.

May God have mercy on your soul. You know too much.

25. I see Bob the Builder and Big Bird are above reproach...
Good thing, too. B the B is a great example of a situation where the machines are far more obnoxious than the people.

And Big Bird is,,well, Big Bird.

There is a new series coming up soon from HiT - something to do with bath toys. My 2 year old is very excited about it; I am not so sure.

"Can we beat him? YES WE CAN!!!"

26. BARNEY SUCKS!!!
Sorry for putting it on all caps... I really, really HATE Barney... that purple dinosaur! He 'seems' to work magic on kids... yuck. I swear, I won't let my kids watch that show if I were a mom right now!

The Teletubbies come in a close second.

(A fan of Blue's Clues and Spongebob Squarepants :-) )
