Love it!
Thankfully my kids are now out of animation stage. Don't worry, your kids will move on to something equally as annoying...we have watched every episode of iCarly, Good Luck Charlie and Wizzards of Waverly Place.
The Wizzards of Waverly theme song gets stuck in my head on a regular basis and I hate the show that's on the boat - with the twin boys...the name escapes me.
Thankfully spring is here and we can spend more time outdoors and less on the couch.

We love Dora. My daughter is in love with her and I'm okay with that. She also likes Sesame Street. I'm okay with that. When we're outside walking in the park or on local trails my 23 month old says "Ocean, grass and tries to say polar bear mountain" as she explores her world. I love this and love that Dora is very positive.

Yo Gabba Gabba scares me. The people who thought of that show must be on some serious drugs. I have friends who love it as much as their kid.
Caillou has a winy voice. And really, has anyone ever answered the most important question about that show? Why is he bald?
Little Bill is the worst show on television. I wanted it to be good since it was created by Bill Cosby. But it's just so horrible.

Yes. My second-born son loved Dora as a toddler--- I think mainly because of 'Swiper' and the 'Grumpy Old Troll".

Dora is okay. But I agree that Handy Manny is terrible. How can they get away with that?

The first time I saw this show, I thought, "This MUST be a bad joke!"

Sorry--that should have been dim OR deaf--like, they need to be told things 15 times because they didn't hear the annoying answer the first 14 times.

Most kids' cartoons--especially the ones that "talk" directly to them--really dumb things down, Dora included. They talk to our kids like they are dim and deaf, not like they are kids and just learning things for the first time. Annoying and lame. They are a brain drain.

I love Dora. I think it is harmless, somewhat educational, and certainly as good as the comparable cartoons on PBS or Sprout.

Dora is hands down the most annoying kids' show I have ever seen. "Backpack, backpack..." "We did it, we did it, we did it, we did it!" -- drive me nuts. I have banned it from our house (unofficially ... DH is under orders that no Dora videos come from Netflix and we do not have cable). There are other shows I hate too, but Dora really takes the cake.

Today DD was doing Biz's Beat of the Day. Funny. Brobi is a debbie downer and Muno is scary but my kid loves that show.
