In the night garden depressing ?

[jeno]

I am ashamed to say i think the cbeebies programme in the night garden is depressing my daughter loves it but i go into a coma when it comes on , C beebies does my head in sometimes except for Mr Tumble and Justin i love that ,It's a nightmare if it's a rainy day and you have to have the tv on any other parent's agree ? lol

why do you have to have the TV on? when my brother was the age of your daughter we used to play great pretend games like hippos and hide and seek, we used to read books to each other and do nursery rhyme games. My niece's children still do - if there's one thing I don't like about modern culture (and this is not a pop at you, jeno) it's people who leave the TV on all day whether they are watching or not.

I don't understand this. Why do you 'have' to have the television on for any reason? There are plenty of other things your daughter could do instead of watching television. (Actually, I think The Night Garden is excellent).

Iggle Piggle gives me the creeps....

The Night Garden was originally intended as a wind down evening prog, but is now repeated throughout the day, which is why it induces a coma like state in you.

Turn over about 5.30ish to CITV...Shawn the Sheep's on and it's hysterical.

Great innit Helen? I'm seriously thinking of buying/downloading some episodes of it.

its my tv, i can leave it on and do other things with the children like drawing, writing and singing nursery rhymes as wel. why does that upset so many people? get a grip.

my eldest daughter seems to have grown out of itng, so now its all dora dora dora, which believe me is worse! she is currently getting into fresh beat band which is annoying american cheese, but my grls like to copy the moves and sing along.

and yes, itng is meant to send children to sleep, but invariably its the adults it affects more. how many times can iggle piggle lose his bleeeding blanket? every time!

I can cope with ITNG, it's Zing Zillas which make my teeth itch, detest that programme.

[Ankou]

a bit creepy, but they do some good tunes and dancing, hence, girls are glued to that too.

It drives me mental- hate those birdy type things, and every episode we tune into seems to be on a blue grass theme- its an awful programme.
