In other news, it was 'Old Skool Weekend' on CITV the other day, so they had all shows from the 80's and 90's on there, and my kids loved it, and were saying they wished it was Old Skool Weekend every week! There were classics on there like Knightmare, Fun House, Finders Keepers, Fraggles, Count Duckula, Danger Mouse etc etc. They loved them all!

You ban some stuff but let them watch MLP and the poo remake of Thundercats?

Madness!
 
Yo Gabba Gabba - this is great and wish they made more of it tbh! With all its energy its hard for any kid to ignore the message's they portray in it. Genius imo!
My 3yr old has watched it since being 1, other shows have come and gone but this is the only one she has consistently liked.

Else she doesn't really watch tv even though its on kids tv for 70% of her day. She'd much rather play with her toys or interact with us. Hopefully it will stay this way! I fear if we started to restrict it from her then it will just create a desire for her to watch it more.

The only show I'd avoid is Dora as she doesn't understand its a different language so thinks its ok to make up words.
Oh and Peppa, kids need any more encouragement to act like a kid! :)

MLP is awesome.

And the new Thundercats was surprisingly good!

So there :p

Dora is awesome! Teaching them another language and they don't even know it.

CBeebies, and that's pretty much it.

Nothing else, simply because the ITV player on the iPad is worse than a bad thing.

They spend more of their time watching the Wiggles, Mr. Men and Disney films than watching anything else, to be fair.

Will wait a few months before trying my daughter on a diet of Transformers Original Series, however...
 
The original transformers is rubbish compared to the new one. The stories don't even make any sense it's just random stuff happening. Seemed great when I was a kid though.
 
I don't have kids, but I watched a new show on CBBC last week called 'Fit', simply because it randomly has Peter Serafinowicz's character Brian Butterfield in it. As it turns out, save for a few entirely terrible parts, it's funnier than most adult comedies right now. Next episode is on tonight at 6:15pm.

And for those who don't know who Brian Butterfield is:
 
I "let" my girls watch Ben 10, New Thundercats, Young Justice, any Scooby Doo, Tron Legacy, Horrible Histories and mavity Falls.

They also watch pointless girly rubbish with princesses, unicorns and rainbows. No interest in Hannah Montana or similar trash, thank god.
 
Cbeebies here. How can that Justin bloke be presenting a quarter of the channels output!

Tron Legacy? Is that for kids is it? oops. ;)
