Twitter, Facebook and email. These are the
results – the 10 worst, from 10 to 1 – as chosen
by parents and compiled by Dave.

despite shrill & persistent protests of
the constituency.”
– Aldean Hendrickson

by accident both kids know to tell
me. It's a great big no-no. I tell
them „stupid funny‟ isn't smart or
funny!”
– Becky Bennett-Brusky

5. 8. Pokemon
“Pokemon drives me nuts.
This kid wandering
around with little
creatures in his backpack
that he makes fight other
little creatures in secret
gyms. It's like dog fighting
for kids.”
– Leah Smutzer

6. 7. Mickey Mouse
Clubhouse
“They don‟t
even attempt to
make Mickey
Mouse
Clubhouse
educational,
with episodes
like „How do we
get back that
balloon?‟ ”
– Jerry
Rothstein

7. 6. Fresh Beat Band

The Fresh Beat Band one
time and it was the worst
crap that has ever assaulted
my eyeballs and ear drums.”

The baby duck character drives
me insane and the songs get
stuck in my head.”

9. 4. Dora the Explorer
“Dora is bossy. Do this, do
that, get up, sit down,
fight, fight, fight. Blah,
blah, blah. Back off,
Dora.”
– Samantha Norris
(Dave’s wife)

10. 3. Max and Ruby
“Number 1. Why do
the bunnies wear no
pants? Number 2.
Where are the
parents to these
pantsless bunnies?
3. Why can't Max
speak in complete
sentences?”
– Nichole
McDowell

11. 2. Caillou
“Caillou is a whiny little brat and
his parents are lumpy in odd
places.
– Amy Dix

12. 1. Wow Wow Wubbzy
“I don't understand
Wow Wow Wubbzy
at all. And I don't
think Nick Jr. does
either. Any time the
only entry at the
beginning is
„Teaches Kids To
Share And Care‟
then I know the
show has no
educational value.”
