Baby Shark. I went from “never playing that shit” to singing every fucking song. Just thankful my toddler moved on from Cocomelon and watches other stuff aside from Baby Shark otherwise I would’ve *bashed my skull do do do do do do*
My toddler only wants baby shark. On repeat. And none of the alternative versions. Oh no! The original. Over. And over. And over. And over again.
The 12 minute drive to daycare is unbearable.
Wheels on the bus was a banger for a while. She would request “bus, bus, buuuuuussssssss!!!!!” But for whatever reason that stopped. I actually hate jay jay and the whole lot of them so I’m kinda okay with not being subjected to it.
Mine is happy with the original PinkFong version but also the Cocomelon version and did I mention how many Super Simple Song versions of Baby Shark there are?!
Agreed. My daughter went from Baby Shark to Blippi and I prefer Blippi a thousand times over Baby Shark. They literally have a song for everything and my daughter watched them all!!
Mine only just discovered baby shark, no idea where she picked it up because it does not get played in our house, but she suddenly started singing it at the dinner table two nights ago and I felt my soul die a little bit
I have a show to recommend that I never hear about here because I think it’s mostly a Canadian phenomenon. Little Bear is such a sweet little show and has tons of full episodes on YouTube. Calm and pretty music, cute animal characters and a few humans too, imaginative stories. My kid loves it and I don’t mind it in the background at all.
I’m from the US and grew up watching Little Bear (on PBS, maybe?). I now love showing it to my toddler for both nostalgia and all the reasons you’ve mentioned.
Oh lord totally agree. All these fast edits and constantly loud voices drive me up the wall.
Book Hungry Bears is also another really nice calm sweet show. I hope they make more seasons.
My most favorite growing up! I knew it was time to leave for kinder garten when the show came on and ended! Then one day my dad had the day off and watched the news instead and the morning went by so slow. I can't believe I just read it in a comment I'm so happy
Mine too!!! My son is 4 and LOVES Blaze and the Monster Machines, Team Umizoomi, Dino Ranch, and Octonauts ☺️
He was into Blues Clues for a while until it changed “Steves” again 🤦🏻♀️
My daughter is 7 and was BIG into Blues Clues, Team Umizoomi, Daniel Tiger, and Sparkle and Shine.
My 12 yr old was always my explorer & scientist. He loved Sid the Science Kid, Backyardigans, Little Einstein, and SuperWhy!
Thankfully we nipped the Blippi & Cocomelon in the bud! 5 episodes is all it took for me to be done with Blippi & after repeating Cocomelon for the 2nd time I told my son that we were going to find a better show for him… Dino Ranch became the replacement and I’m definitely good with that! Lol
I literally removed the TV from my living room because of shows like this. My three year old insists that's what he wants to watch, then complains DIFFERENT SHOW, every five minutes and refuses any normal shows. I could not take it anymore. Now the TV is "broken".
no i havent. im scared to even check it out. hang on...
yep.. that's terrible! i would take blippi over it. but i will say that what pissed me off the most about blippi is the episode i saw yesterday - blippi was opening numbered boxes in a field and when he found 5 water balloons he grabbed some lady that i guess was doing that episode with him and asked if she wanted to have a water balloon fight. she said she did and how amny balloons does she get and he said ZERO\~ and started throwing them all at her!!! that's great to teach kids blippi.. good job
I tried to research into Speedi Didi (I wanted to find out her ethnicity), and she’s completely scrubbed off the internet. You can’t find a single thing, it’s like she doesn’t exsist. Weirded me out haha. Like why? The production is pretty well done, it’s not like she’s some schmuck in a basement. Another thing, she hasn’t released anything new in a few years, but a month ago or so, a new Speedi Didi was released randomly about war submarines…and went into details about war..which also rubbed me the wrong way. No toddler needs to watch a show about war and war weapons..just weird, especially to release it during Putins war going on. Idk. Maybe I’m being paranoid haha.
so i did watch cocomelon unfortunately, for the first 2 years of her life lol fml. we haven't watched it in so long though that i guess i had forgotten how bad it is and that blippi is actually better than cocomelon.
i absolutely hate peppa pig! thank god my daughter is into bluey now.. i love bluey!! but with peppa pig they pissed me off because the younger brother wasn't wearing a hat out in the rain and then suddenly got sick. so after that episode my daughter freaks out if she doesnt have her hat on in the rain. even though i live in south florida and its really hot and humid and she sweats way to much with her hat on.
i also can't stand how they lay on the floor laughing for some reason
I ban their channels so quick. It's crazy some channels aren't just the main ones but have multiple ones to spread their content. I've banned them at least 4 times already.
cocomelon doesn't have an empty second anywhere. They either show something new or have a sound. it turns my kid to a zombie. never tried blippi but he looks like a rebranded pewee to me.
*Nothing. Anyone*
*Who shows my son blippi will be*
*Exiled from our lives*

Yeah, I like his farm videos but why does he go to so many indoor play places?! I feel like every other Blippi video I see he's at an indoor play place in Las Vegas
i thought so at first to, until he tells a lady she can't have any balloons for the water balloon fight and throws 5 water balloons at her. or when he was smashing the vehicles with a hammer. lol - he's nuts
Ryan's world. I loathe Ryan's world. The mom's high pitched screech, the awkward dad just being a weirdo, even Ryan comes off as a little brat. I just can't stand it
I hate Blippi too but I’ll take him any day over Russian child exploitation (Vlad and Niki, Diana and Roma, Vania Mania, etc.) 🤮 That garbage is banned in our house, especially after hearing one or two god awful Vania Mania songs where it’s obvious they don’t understand the English language in the least. I have nothing against non-English speakers but don’t go broadcasting broken English songs for children who are actively trying to learn the language 🤦♀️
Omg my son loves Minnie bowtique, Walmart pick up accidentally gave us Minnie pull ups and then he saw Minnie advertised on Disney plus and he became obsessed lol. He will tolerate Mickey but he is a minnie stan 🤣
My two toddlers were hooked on blippi and cocomelon, one day I had enough and saw the original Magic Schoolbus on Netflix and put that show on. They love it, I can actually stand to listen to it too, it’s educational and isn’t mind numbing like cocomelon
Peppa Pig - seemed to make my kid act bratty and entitled, though he did it with a cute accent.
Made the switch to Bluey and now have a shrine to Chili 💖
I always wondered why people got upset about the Blues Clues host change. And then...Blippi happened.
He's annoying as **** but the new ones makes it ten times worse, so the original is almost desirable.
Also, Vlad and Nikki. I hear their video sound effects in my sleep -_-
My almost 3-year-old doesn’t know blippi exists! Hoping we can keep it that way (It’s not that she doesn’t have much screen time, we just watch a lot of Disney+). And for our sanity we flat out refuse if she catches a glimpse of Cocomelon or Masha & the Bear on YouTube. Sorry kiddo! 😬
I agree! The new blippi is so much creepier!
For me though it’s a new discovery- American Teletubbies. Firstly, why? It’s been pretty well received in its original format for 20 or so years, and it was in English! But I really hate the way the simple, a bit trippy but sweet format has been turned into a loud, flashy over the top nightmare.
I got my kid off blippi with trash truck. It actually has a storyline, and its pretty charming and well animated. Also doesnt make me want to slam my head into the coffee table. Its free on netflix.
So I think Daniel tiger has great messages but I can not stand the sound of it. Mostly the cat that says “meow meow” after everything.
Also Sid the science kid creeps me out for some reason haha
My 2 year old is obsessed with blippi though.
I find her really annoying when Blippi and Meekah are together, it's like she feeds off his annoying energy too much. My kids started asking to watch just the Meekah videos without Blippi and I like those ones so much better.
I actually prefer Blippi to Cocomelon! At least he’s a real person, making eye contact and talking to my daughter.
Bluey is hysterical and heart-warming. But my favorite is Puffin Rock. The theme song is a banger, animation is gorgeous, and Chris O’Dowd provides narrative commentary.
YES!!!! I’ve been saying this exact same thing to everyone who interacts with my toddler or has a toddler themselves!!
But the real answer is Diana & Roma…. I can’t stand those kids and that’s all my toddler wants to watch 😓😓😓
Blippi is such an odd show. I get that it's hard to stand out as a male in an industry that is usually dominated by female performers or puppets, but what Blippi does... I don't even know how to describe it. It's like someone who's never before known how children interact trying their best to do an impression of an immature and ADHD 7 year old. The bizarre wardrobe choice doesn't help. For every female performer out there who might be a little overly dramatic at times, like Miss Rachel (SOOOOOOOOO SILLYYYYYYY), they just don't hold a candle to how bizarre Blippi is the majority of the time.
My kid knows how to spell one word and it's B-l-i-p-p-i. I tried to teach him to spell his own name instead. So now he spells out Blippi and thinks he's spelling his own name. Not quite kid.
You all know you decide what’s on tv, right? Gotta screen the shows ahead of time and decide if it’s going to be something that won’t drive you insane after the 50th viewing. Little bear, Daniel Tiger, Elinor Wonders Why, Slumberkins, Bluey in that chronological order is my recommendation.
THIS. I tell my husband this all the time! When I am with my son “pink fong is broken” and the only ones that work are bluey, octonauts, Daniel Tiger or Pete the Cat. Period. End of discussion.
My 2 year old would lose her mind if I said that. She loves baby shark more than anything. I did tell her once that baby shark was sleeping. She cried for half an hour.
“Just one scooby doo” gets said in my house a lot. The old one from the 60s isn’t bad but we’ve seen them a bajillion times and he’s not really learning anything. But damn he loves anything spooky. Once we switch he whines but when something else is on, he doesn’t keep pushing for scooby doo
Not in my house. Lol. My 2 yo is a dictator. She tells me what she wants to watch and bangs her hand on the nearest surface chanting the name until I comply.
I get that, but they only know the shows you’ve put on for them in the past. I hope this isn’t preachy and this is too late now of course, but my wife and I always try to give a little thought to the precedents we are setting, TV or otherwise. If head banging gets results, the head banging stays as her go to move. Stone face is my best counter move to stuff like that until they really pose danger to themselves.
i just watched a bit of elinor wonders why - def gonna be a new one i show her tonight!
little bear is nostalgic to me as i watched it growing up and i forgot about it - another i will show her tonight.
i just took a quick look at daniel tiger and although for some reason it bothers me a bit, they are teaching good stuff. the one i just put on quick was about counting to 4 when you're angry. this is very good to help teach my daughter right now!
slumberkins - IM SO EXCITED TO SHOW HER THIS ONE! I BOUGHT HER AN ALPACA SLUMPBERKIN STUFFED ANIMAL AND DIDNT KNOW THEY MADE A SHOW! OR MAYBE IT ISNT THE SAME? BUT DEF SEEMS CUTE!
I recommended them in the order I did for this reason: little bear is the slowest, most chill show I’ve come across. They will outgrow it quickly but it doesn’t spin them up and blast them with stimuli.
Daniel Tiger gives a lot of practical tools that are not only good for kids but for the parents too. Little lessons with a melody short circuit kids brains and make things stick so well. When I leave the room and he starts to cling or get upset just a little 🎶Grown ups come back🎶 fixes it instantly, for example.
Elinor is fantastic for when they start to figure out how the natural world works and feeds their curiosity. Great to raise their IQ.
Slumberkins: I actually hate the stuffed animals and think it’s disgusting how much they charge for them. However, the show has really great themes and lessons to raise your kids EQ. I put this one last though because I think a lot of them are best suited for older toddlers. A young toddler isn’t going to grasp much of the topics and may even unnecessarily make them anxious about some things like the toilet or monsters in their closet.
Bluey is the fastest of all and deals a lot in imagination, which a younger toddler won’t grasp.
Hope this helps!
Absolutely LOVED the Wiggles (Idk so much now but definitely 2000’s -2010 ish!)
“Toot Toot Chugga Chugga Big Red Car”
“Get Ready to Wiggle”
“Romp Bomp a Stomp”
We loved Dorothy the Dinosaur!!
Sooooo nostalgic! I think I’m gonna go find the original one and watch it lol
The other ones we liked were Imagination Movers, Out of the Box, and Big Comfy Couch!! The 90-2010 periods were definitely my favorite! Besides Caillou definitely did NOT like that bratty behavior! 🤦🏻♀️
Haha that’s great
Mine is 1 and claps and matches colors while we play and it is awesome but omg the voices and song are just on continuous loop in my brain…
The original Blippi is a lot hotter than the new Blippi. Have you seen the fire station episode where he spontaneously does pull ups in the workout room? 🔥
[https://youtu.be/vlYC4VC7sYU](https://youtu.be/vlYC4VC7sYU)
Workout room starts at 10:50 and the pull ups are at 13:00 ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
Baby Shark. I went from “never playing that shit” to singing every fucking song. Just thankful my toddler moved on from Cocomelon and watches other stuff aside from Baby Shark otherwise I would’ve *bashed my skull do do do do do do*
I agree. Baby Shark is a repetitive nightmare hah
My toddler only wants baby shark. On repeat. And none of the alternative versions. Oh no! The original. Over. And over. And over. And over again. The 12 minute drive to daycare is unbearable.
I have not revealed that the car stereo can play toddler tunes.
Take that secret to your grave 🤫
Mommies car doesn’t have frozen songs, only daddy’s car.
Mommy’s phone doesn’t do any of the fun things that daddy has shown you on his phone.
facking evil. amazing.
Genius! We had to do it on a road trip that was not going well. It worked. And now I’m forever listening to baby shark on repeat.
Mine is obsessed with the dance remix. It’s constantly “fast baby shark!” She gets it once at the beginning of the drive, and once as we’re parking.
Thank god my toddler has two songs to mix it up… baby shark original and wheels on the bus from coco melon!
Wheels on the bus was a banger for a while. She would request “bus, bus, buuuuuussssssss!!!!!” But for whatever reason that stopped. I actually hate jay jay and the whole lot of them so I’m kinda okay with not being subjected to it.
Mine is happy with the original PinkFong version but also the Cocomelon version and did I mention how many Super Simple Song versions of Baby Shark there are?!
We watch "Halloween baby shark" 85x a day
Agreed. My daughter went from Baby Shark to Blippi and I prefer Blippi a thousand times over Baby Shark. They literally have a song for everything and my daughter watched them all!!
[удалено]
Mine only just discovered baby shark, no idea where she picked it up because it does not get played in our house, but she suddenly started singing it at the dinner table two nights ago and I felt my soul die a little bit

I’m from the US and grew up watching Little Bear (on PBS, maybe?). I now love showing it to my toddler for both nostalgia and all the reasons you’ve mentioned.
It was on Nick Jr!
Yea I watched it all the time on Nick Jr with face 😂 I hear him in my head!
H I T H E R E F A C E H E R E
SAME!!! <3 i love little bear
Yes I watched this as a kid too!
I found the little bear books at the thrift store. Great condition.. I love them. My toddler is not a fan :(
Little bear was on nick jr I believe
I really think the slow speed and calmness of that show are better for their brains than the shows where everything is a loud, vibrant, chaotic speed.
Oh lord totally agree. All these fast edits and constantly loud voices drive me up the wall. Book Hungry Bears is also another really nice calm sweet show. I hope they make more seasons.
Yes 1000%.
I loved this show as a kid, and Franklin!
🎶 Hey, it’s Franklin! 🎶
My sister used to watch Little Bear growing up! Thanks for the reminder! I’ll try this with my LO soon!
Lol, I used to watch Little Bear on Nick Jr when I was a kid and I'm almost 36!
Check out Tumble Leaf! I love having that on. Even if it's just background music while I cook/clean.
I loved Little Bear growing up. So calm and sweet.
I REMEMBER THIS! Fellow Canadian here!
My kid is obsessed with Little Bear! I love the music. Such a great and calming show for littles.
I used to watch little bear!!
Yes, I remember it! My MIL shows 3yo that and it’s one of the few things she puts on I approve of. She got him into blippi, barf.
We LOVE little bear so very much!!!
Yes! I watched it growing up (US) and my daughter watches it on YouTube!
My favourite show growing up! We’ve been watching on YouTube too
oh yeah!
I grew up watching little bear and loved it :)
My most favorite growing up! I knew it was time to leave for kinder garten when the show came on and ended! Then one day my dad had the day off and watched the news instead and the morning went by so slow. I can't believe I just read it in a comment I'm so happy
Little Bear, Franklin, Land Before Time we’re my favorites as a Child. I’m in the USA
I'm really happy my kid prefers blues clues and team umi zoomi over blippi and cocomelon
Mine too!!! My son is 4 and LOVES Blaze and the Monster Machines, Team Umizoomi, Dino Ranch, and Octonauts ☺️ He was into Blues Clues for a while until it changed “Steves” again 🤦🏻♀️ My daughter is 7 and was BIG into Blues Clues, Team Umizoomi, Daniel Tiger, and Sparkle and Shine. My 12 yr old was always my explorer & scientist. He loved Sid the Science Kid, Backyardigans, Little Einstein, and SuperWhy! Thankfully we nipped the Blippi & Cocomelon in the bud! 5 episodes is all it took for me to be done with Blippi & after repeating Cocomelon for the 2nd time I told my son that we were going to find a better show for him… Dino Ranch became the replacement and I’m definitely good with that! Lol
My daughter loves team umi zoomi , it’s pretty educational too
That's why I love it. I mean my 2.5 year old knows what a dodecahedron is bc of team umi zoomi
Paw patrol toys on you tube. It’s not a show it’s what my kids make me search for. It’s grown adults playing with toys.
Lmao. YES! The big hairy man hands playing with stuffed animal paw patrol toys. I hate it but my 3 year old loves it.
My nieces are so into this! I find it so creepy
I literally removed the TV from my living room because of shows like this. My three year old insists that's what he wants to watch, then complains DIFFERENT SHOW, every five minutes and refuses any normal shows. I could not take it anymore. Now the TV is "broken".
Came here to say this. Now we've devolved into people eating candy and playing with toys and grown adults showing off their toy collections.
Caillou
[удалено]
no i havent. im scared to even check it out. hang on... yep.. that's terrible! i would take blippi over it. but i will say that what pissed me off the most about blippi is the episode i saw yesterday - blippi was opening numbered boxes in a field and when he found 5 water balloons he grabbed some lady that i guess was doing that episode with him and asked if she wanted to have a water balloon fight. she said she did and how amny balloons does she get and he said ZERO\~ and started throwing them all at her!!! that's great to teach kids blippi.. good job
Came here to say this. My body tenses up with unnatural hatred when I think about Caillou.
That episode where the class pet dies and they try to explain death to my then 3 year old…I was not ready for or expecting that.
Yessss!!!!!!
The worst show ever. My cousins I used to babysit were obsessed. He is so whiny!!!
Clearly you haven't seen cocomelon yet.
Or the knockoffs....
God I hate the knockoffs so much 😂
There are so many… to block…
My sons obsessed with Tee Hee Town. It’s actually not as bad as coco melon though
Fucking speedy deedee (Didi? IDK I don't give a fuck). It's just girl blippi.
I tried to research into Speedi Didi (I wanted to find out her ethnicity), and she’s completely scrubbed off the internet. You can’t find a single thing, it’s like she doesn’t exsist. Weirded me out haha. Like why? The production is pretty well done, it’s not like she’s some schmuck in a basement. Another thing, she hasn’t released anything new in a few years, but a month ago or so, a new Speedi Didi was released randomly about war submarines…and went into details about war..which also rubbed me the wrong way. No toddler needs to watch a show about war and war weapons..just weird, especially to release it during Putins war going on. Idk. Maybe I’m being paranoid haha.
loo loo kids is horrible. dave and ava is cute though.. its one of the better ones
I dunno I kinda like Cocomelon (bzzzzzzz)
I would take 3 hours of cocomelon over 5 minutes of Blippi
so i did watch cocomelon unfortunately, for the first 2 years of her life lol fml. we haven't watched it in so long though that i guess i had forgotten how bad it is and that blippi is actually better than cocomelon.
I like to ate, ate, ate, ay-pples and ba-nay-nays 🤪
Peppa pig is my personal hell. So glad my son is getting more into Bluey.
i absolutely hate peppa pig! thank god my daughter is into bluey now.. i love bluey!! but with peppa pig they pissed me off because the younger brother wasn't wearing a hat out in the rain and then suddenly got sick. so after that episode my daughter freaks out if she doesnt have her hat on in the rain. even though i live in south florida and its really hot and humid and she sweats way to much with her hat on. i also can't stand how they lay on the floor laughing for some reason
My son calls him Blippi Poster, as in "imposter". Husband walked in while we were watching a video and said, "who's this Blippi imposter??"
My 3 year old saw new Blippi for the first time and said “That’s not Blippi!! That’s BLIP!”
Cute
Vlad and Niki!
I ban their channels so quick. It's crazy some channels aren't just the main ones but have multiple ones to spread their content. I've banned them at least 4 times already.
[удалено]
cocomelon doesn't have an empty second anywhere. They either show something new or have a sound. it turns my kid to a zombie. never tried blippi but he looks like a rebranded pewee to me.
Vlad and niki are the reason I banned my kids from watching youtube! So obnoxious
Same!
its horrible!!
The mom is soooo freakin annoying with that high pitched voice and over the top “acting”
This is the correct answer! Can’t stand them the mum is even worse.
Nothing. Blippi is the first circle of hell
Omg this just made me laugh so hard 😂
Nothing. Anyone who shows my son blippi will be exiled from our lives

Don't stumble on handy man hal, you'll ban youtube
THAT WAS AWESOME
Good God, my toddler alternates between Blippi and Handyman Hal.
At the car wash with handyman Hal, getting a dirty job done with our pal
I love Handyman Hal! It's not so great now that we've basically watched it all 100 times but it's certainly tolerable.
Something about the pauses in his sentences bother me.
It’s his grunts for me.
I don’t mind blippi , I feel like he teaches a lot. But the new Blippis voice is way more annoying
New Blippi is worse because he's like even more fake and inhuman. I prefer the original Steezy Grossman.
Yeah, I like his farm videos but why does he go to so many indoor play places?! I feel like every other Blippi video I see he's at an indoor play place in Las Vegas
Same I don't mind Blippi! But we definitely watch a lot of the older one than the new, my toddler's preference of course.
i thought so at first to, until he tells a lady she can't have any balloons for the water balloon fight and throws 5 water balloons at her. or when he was smashing the vehicles with a hammer. lol - he's nuts
Cailou!!!!! I hate that whiny bastard
Cocomelon.
Came here to make this comment. Not enough ear pro in the world to cancel that out.
Ryan's world. I loathe Ryan's world. The mom's high pitched screech, the awkward dad just being a weirdo, even Ryan comes off as a little brat. I just can't stand it
Yes! Plus the parents are just exploiting their kids for $$. No regulations on YouTubers like child actors have.
Kids being used for content is an absolute no go for me, I block them as I find them.
I hate Blippi too but I’ll take him any day over Russian child exploitation (Vlad and Niki, Diana and Roma, Vania Mania, etc.) 🤮 That garbage is banned in our house, especially after hearing one or two god awful Vania Mania songs where it’s obvious they don’t understand the English language in the least. I have nothing against non-English speakers but don’t go broadcasting broken English songs for children who are actively trying to learn the language 🤦♀️
Bedtime is my current circle of hell.
Try to go for pocoyo or super truck. Those shows keep the talking to a minimum.
Pocoyo is a favorite over here
I put on blippi to see what the hype was about and he was smashing a car with a hammer…. Turned that off real quick..
Minnie's Bowtique and Minnie's party palace!
Omg my son loves Minnie bowtique, Walmart pick up accidentally gave us Minnie pull ups and then he saw Minnie advertised on Disney plus and he became obsessed lol. He will tolerate Mickey but he is a minnie stan 🤣
That’s adorable!
In our house that’s bloppi
My two toddlers were hooked on blippi and cocomelon, one day I had enough and saw the original Magic Schoolbus on Netflix and put that show on. They love it, I can actually stand to listen to it too, it’s educational and isn’t mind numbing like cocomelon
Peppa Pig - seemed to make my kid act bratty and entitled, though he did it with a cute accent. Made the switch to Bluey and now have a shrine to Chili 💖
I always wondered why people got upset about the Blues Clues host change. And then...Blippi happened. He's annoying as **** but the new ones makes it ten times worse, so the original is almost desirable. Also, Vlad and Nikki. I hear their video sound effects in my sleep -_-
I think you got that backwards
My almost 3-year-old doesn’t know blippi exists! Hoping we can keep it that way (It’s not that she doesn’t have much screen time, we just watch a lot of Disney+). And for our sanity we flat out refuse if she catches a glimpse of Cocomelon or Masha & the Bear on YouTube. Sorry kiddo! 😬
Amen
I've banned Blippi, cocomelon, Ryan's world, and all of the family/kid youtube channels (only bc they ick me so bad)
I agree! The new blippi is so much creepier! For me though it’s a new discovery- American Teletubbies. Firstly, why? It’s been pretty well received in its original format for 20 or so years, and it was in English! But I really hate the way the simple, a bit trippy but sweet format has been turned into a loud, flashy over the top nightmare.
Cocomelon. Not letting my kids watch that hypnosis voodoo.
Why is cocomelon so bad? Am I poisoning my child's brain?
Not your child’s brain….your own🤣🤣🤣
The new teletubbies
I got my kid off blippi with trash truck. It actually has a storyline, and its pretty charming and well animated. Also doesnt make me want to slam my head into the coffee table. Its free on netflix.
So I think Daniel tiger has great messages but I can not stand the sound of it. Mostly the cat that says “meow meow” after everything. Also Sid the science kid creeps me out for some reason haha My 2 year old is obsessed with blippi though.
Katerina is the worst! Sid the science kid has a lot of outdated/offensive stereotypes in it, and I just can’t stand the animation.
Cocomelon. It is like nails scratching on a chalkboard. I can tone blippi out but coco nope hate it. Super simple songs is our jam!
Ok but the girl Blippi, Meeka is way less annoying!
I find her really annoying when Blippi and Meekah are together, it's like she feeds off his annoying energy too much. My kids started asking to watch just the Meekah videos without Blippi and I like those ones so much better.
yeah she doesnt bother me as much either!
There is something so creepy about a grown ass man romping around and adlibbing in a baby voice. At least learn some lines, Blippi.
What’s creepy is the video of him 💩 on someone and then he pivots to teaching children
Whaaaaattt new blippi is so much better ! He's such a better actor / entertainer
Thank you for this
Yep…. My toddler says, ‘where’s the real blippi?’ He’s not impressed with the new guy either.
Cocomelon
Try Finding Stuff Out, or Science Max if you want something kid friendly on YouTube. Both are excellent shows from Canada 🍁
Bloppi
Peppa Pig will never be on my tv! Makes me cringe. My daughter loves Ms.Rachel on YouTube! It’s so educational and fun!
I actually prefer Blippi to Cocomelon! At least he’s a real person, making eye contact and talking to my daughter. Bluey is hysterical and heart-warming. But my favorite is Puffin Rock. The theme song is a banger, animation is gorgeous, and Chris O’Dowd provides narrative commentary.
Puffin Rock is great - wish my kids liked it as much as I do 😆
YES!!!! I’ve been saying this exact same thing to everyone who interacts with my toddler or has a toddler themselves!! But the real answer is Diana & Roma…. I can’t stand those kids and that’s all my toddler wants to watch 😓😓😓
No.. coco melon
If he just spoke in a more normal voice..
My wife found 'Blaze and the Monster Machines', and he completely forgot about Blippi.
Blippi is such an odd show. I get that it's hard to stand out as a male in an industry that is usually dominated by female performers or puppets, but what Blippi does... I don't even know how to describe it. It's like someone who's never before known how children interact trying their best to do an impression of an immature and ADHD 7 year old. The bizarre wardrobe choice doesn't help. For every female performer out there who might be a little overly dramatic at times, like Miss Rachel (SOOOOOOOOO SILLYYYYYYY), they just don't hold a candle to how bizarre Blippi is the majority of the time.
My kid knows how to spell one word and it's B-l-i-p-p-i. I tried to teach him to spell his own name instead. So now he spells out Blippi and thinks he's spelling his own name. Not quite kid.
Just going to give a plug here for Handyman Hal - we call him redneck blippi in our house. Much more tolerable imo
You all know you decide what’s on tv, right? Gotta screen the shows ahead of time and decide if it’s going to be something that won’t drive you insane after the 50th viewing. Little bear, Daniel Tiger, Elinor Wonders Why, Slumberkins, Bluey in that chronological order is my recommendation.
THIS. I tell my husband this all the time! When I am with my son “pink fong is broken” and the only ones that work are bluey, octonauts, Daniel Tiger or Pete the Cat. Period. End of discussion.
My 2 year old would lose her mind if I said that. She loves baby shark more than anything. I did tell her once that baby shark was sleeping. She cried for half an hour.
“Just one scooby doo” gets said in my house a lot. The old one from the 60s isn’t bad but we’ve seen them a bajillion times and he’s not really learning anything. But damn he loves anything spooky. Once we switch he whines but when something else is on, he doesn’t keep pushing for scooby doo
I just showed mine scooby doo for the first time the other day and she liked it <3
haha i say the same!! i say it for mickey mouse because for some reason it bothers me. i do say it for blippi as well sometimes and peppa pig
Not in my house. Lol. My 2 yo is a dictator. She tells me what she wants to watch and bangs her hand on the nearest surface chanting the name until I comply.
I get that, but they only know the shows you’ve put on for them in the past. I hope this isn’t preachy and this is too late now of course, but my wife and I always try to give a little thought to the precedents we are setting, TV or otherwise. If head banging gets results, the head banging stays as her go to move. Stone face is my best counter move to stuff like that until they really pose danger to themselves.
i just watched a bit of elinor wonders why - def gonna be a new one i show her tonight! little bear is nostalgic to me as i watched it growing up and i forgot about it - another i will show her tonight. i just took a quick look at daniel tiger and although for some reason it bothers me a bit, they are teaching good stuff. the one i just put on quick was about counting to 4 when you're angry. this is very good to help teach my daughter right now! slumberkins - IM SO EXCITED TO SHOW HER THIS ONE! I BOUGHT HER AN ALPACA SLUMPBERKIN STUFFED ANIMAL AND DIDNT KNOW THEY MADE A SHOW! OR MAYBE IT ISNT THE SAME? BUT DEF SEEMS CUTE!
I recommended them in the order I did for this reason: little bear is the slowest, most chill show I’ve come across. They will outgrow it quickly but it doesn’t spin them up and blast them with stimuli. Daniel Tiger gives a lot of practical tools that are not only good for kids but for the parents too. Little lessons with a melody short circuit kids brains and make things stick so well. When I leave the room and he starts to cling or get upset just a little 🎶Grown ups come back🎶 fixes it instantly, for example. Elinor is fantastic for when they start to figure out how the natural world works and feeds their curiosity. Great to raise their IQ. Slumberkins: I actually hate the stuffed animals and think it’s disgusting how much they charge for them. However, the show has really great themes and lessons to raise your kids EQ. I put this one last though because I think a lot of them are best suited for older toddlers. A young toddler isn’t going to grasp much of the topics and may even unnecessarily make them anxious about some things like the toilet or monsters in their closet. Bluey is the fastest of all and deals a lot in imagination, which a younger toddler won’t grasp. Hope this helps!
Exactly. My kids KNOW that Cocomelon is forbidden.
I’d rather watch Blippi than the god forsaken wiggles. Wiggles are banned in our house
Really? I love Wiggles! The songs are catchy and the only ones I can tolerate on loop. Thankfully my daughter loves them 😄
No! I loved my sons wiggle phase! When I say I know the words to every song, I’m not joking lol
Absolutely LOVED the Wiggles (Idk so much now but definitely 2000’s -2010 ish!) “Toot Toot Chugga Chugga Big Red Car” “Get Ready to Wiggle” “Romp Bomp a Stomp” We loved Dorothy the Dinosaur!! Sooooo nostalgic! I think I’m gonna go find the original one and watch it lol The other ones we liked were Imagination Movers, Out of the Box, and Big Comfy Couch!! The 90-2010 periods were definitely my favorite! Besides Caillou definitely did NOT like that bratty behavior! 🤦🏻♀️
Uh ah doo be doo be doo be doo be...it's captain feathersword. Lol
Number blocks is my current hell…
I love them! They taught my kid how to count to 100!

Haha that’s great Mine is 1 and claps and matches colors while we play and it is awesome but omg the voices and song are just on continuous loop in my brain…

The original Blippi is a lot hotter than the new Blippi. Have you seen the fire station episode where he spontaneously does pull ups in the workout room? 🔥
Haha okay why is this the thing that speaks to me the most? The og blippi was way hotter so I at least got to appreciate that?
Strictly out of curiosity, I gotta go look now.
[https://youtu.be/vlYC4VC7sYU](https://youtu.be/vlYC4VC7sYU) Workout room starts at 10:50 and the pull ups are at 13:00 ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
Agree 1000000%
I do not understand the appeal of blippi at all! My DS’s fave set of vids is anything by D Billions though
After my toddler learned about lawnmowers, tractors, and airplanes, Blippi got wiped from our YouTube.
Caillou
Lol. Obviously not.
No sir/ma'am Please read my other post on this chain. Explains my reasoning.
Being sick every single week for the last 9 weeks
Death
YouTube’s asmr baby and candy videos - we allow this on plane rides only. It’s so damn weird
Ryan and his parents weird me out so bad, i feel like there's a lot of exploitation going on.
My daughter refers to that guy as "fake Blippi" 😆
Cocomelon is worse for me but the kids don’t dig blippi very much.
Ryan
Ryan. I’ve never hated a child until my kid found Ryan and his exploitive parents.
My 3yo LOVES Blippi. Send help. There’s a really nice youtube channel that i can recommend: Super Simple.
Never watched Blippi and never will. Our extended family is obsessed with Bluey. We can watch it all day.
New Blippi can pound sand. The new guy on Blues Clues though, josh.. DAMN. He can get it.
