1. Caillou...that kid is a little shitweasel

If my kids whined as much as Caillou does, well, they wouldn't. No kid possibly could.

5. When my kid was a tot, I didn't like Clifford the Big Red Dog
that much. But the Rugrats were enjoyed by all. I sometimes think it was for the parents too because the adults in the show had their own agenda going on.

6. My kids are no longer toddlers, but I HATED "Caillou." No child in the history of TV has whined more
than that one.

Dragon Tales and Dora were only barely tolerable.

Seriously, it was like a bad acid trip

13. Is Dragon Tails the one with the super creepy computer animation?
I've only seen a few minutes of that here and there but I LOATHE it based on the animation alone.

11. Barney.
My kids didn't like it, either. Caillou is a whiner, and Ruby's voice is super annoying. Honestly, I liked Teletubbies, and so did my kids, for a short time. It was weird to me---they had this vacuum that sucked up this yellow shit, then they'd be screaming at a dot in the sky that as it got closer turned into a carousel with a bear in a tuxedo that did a tap dance and then flew away, and then repeated. Trippy.

12. Barney, Caillou, Dragon Tales, and that annoying chick from The Good Night Show
I actually enjoyed Max & Ruby ("Vampire!!"), Fireman Sam, and Kipper. I miss them now that MG Jr. is older and more into Batman, Back at the Barnyard, Fairly Oddparents, and iCarly, although they're entertaining in their own way.
