    "There's 104 days of summer vacation....."

    Great. Now that song is in my head. But it IS catchy!

    And I thought I was the only adult to watch Phineas and Ferb. I have a wide variety of ages in my house. My oldest son, who is 8, loves Courage the cowardly dog. My daughter, who is 6, loves dora and hannah montana. My 3 and 1 year old go nuts when timmy the sheep is on and handy manny. That being said, I hated the Wiggles. There is just something creepy about how happy those guys were all the time. Made me wonder if they were taking "water" breaks in between takes. And by water, I mean like vodka or whiskey. The songs would get stuck in my head for days at a time. So glad no one likes them anymore. Spongebob annoys me to. That laugh makes me want to strangle him.

    Wow! I didn't realize Calliou was still on! Whining is one of my pet peaves so I never could stand that one, same for Kai Lan. I alos hate SpongeBob, he makes me want to hurt myself, LOL Fresh Beat Band is growing more annoying all the time too. I have always liked Blues Clues and Dora, Wonder Pets is cute too. Martha Speaks, Between the Lions and Word World are a few of my favorites. I'm also liking Good Luck Charlie, clean and NOT animated. I have 3 kids, 10 and under so yeah, I watch alot of those shows :)

    Barney has been banned in my house since the beginning and my oldest is 15! My little ones almost 4 and 2 have never seen it.

    Do NOT like-Calliou he's so whinny, Max and Ruby seriously where are the parents?, Yo Gabba Gabba um more like NO Gabba Gabba ugh, Sponge Bob not at all appropriate for young children, Courage the Cowardly Dog same not appropriate, Bakugon is awful I'm sure there are many many more.

    I will say my son is now counting and doing his ABCs and he just turned 2 thanks to Sesame Street...he loves Elmo.

    back to Hates:

    1. Like I said, Barney. Best thing about the movie 9 Months was that they beat the cr@p out of a Barney-esque character and it was very cathargic.

    2. Hate hate Calliou.

    3. Yo Gaba Gaba is insanely stupid.

    4. Teletubbies. Enough said.

    As far as likes:

    1. Spongebob. It's fun and my husband likes it too, so the kids sit with him and they joke around.

    2. Sesame Street.

    3. The Wiggles - NOT THE OLD WIGGLES. Those were stupid. The new ones have A LOT more classical music, actual dancing (ballet, modern, 1940s Cats themed piece, disco) and everything is so short that it keeps his attention. The new show is, like, 18 minutes if that.

    4. Thomas the Train

    5. We'd love to show our kids Looney Tunes but they don't replay them anymore.

    6. For us older ones, Family Guy.

    7. Zoobomafoo (animal show for kids)

    I will say that my son is now changing cartoons. He now brings the remote and says "Watch ESPN News NOW!"

    My daughter LOVES Spongebob. I don't mind it too much now that she's older. I've giggled at it before. She watches Animal Cops in the morning before school and she loves Iron Chef and Food Network Challenge. I think she is pretty much over cartoons and into iCarly, Suite Life, etc. She watched Hanna Montana and I HATE it.

    Which cartoons or tv shows do they watch that annoy the crap out of you?

    Setup: My girl is 3.5. We don't have "TV", we stream Netflix & watch disks. So...

    LIKE: Wonderpets, Word World, Thomas Train, Oswald!, Peep and the big wide world, Yo Gabba Gabba, Sesame Street, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

    TOLERABLE:
    Dora & Diego (why are they always YELLING?!),
    Caillou (So whiney, but she's learning a lot)
    Busy Town Mysteries (Why does Huckle always get to solve the mystery? How about giving Sally a chance, huh?)

    DISLIKE / Won't allow: Barney, Spongebob, Veggie Tales, Commercials (thus, the Netflix & DVDs)

    Never seen: Kai Lan, Max & Ruby, Wow Wow Wubbzy

    Trust me.....you're not missing anything by never seeing Kai Lan, Max & Ruby, and Wubbzy.

    Barney is the debil! (In my best impression of Adam Sandler's mom in "Waterboy")
