Nick Jr. When I was Young.

Before we start watching TV that is aimed at older children, we watch preschool channels. And back in the day Nick Jr was the spot to go. And I have to say back then they had the BEST preschool shows on TV. Some of my favorites consisted of : Eureeka's Castle,Allegra's Window,Gullah Gullah Island,Little Bear,Muppet Babies. I also watched Blue's Clue's but I was like 8 when that first began, but it was a like able show that even older kids liked to watch.

Now with a child of my own, it is even more important to me to find programming that is not only good tv but apprioate. Since you will be watching tv with your child you want the show to catch your interest. You don't want to be sitting there thinking "God this show sucks!"  I can't tell you how many times I've seen a show on that my daughter likes and I hate it. I end up changing it. I feel like I am brainwashing my child to like stupid shows.

A long with Nickelodeon, Nick Jr has also gone downhill. Most of us will all agree Dora is probably the WORST show on Nick Jr. I am Mexican myself so watching this is a pain in my you know what! Half the things Dora says are incorrect and the way the are presented makes me feel like my IQ level has gone down. I also can't stand Max and Ruby. Ruby is a bitch (excuse my french) and thinks she is the mother or something. And speaking of mother.....where in the hell are their parents? NEVER once have they shown them. They have shown the grandmother--who lives like a block away. Are these preschoolers home alone? ALL DAY?!?!?! Max gets me irritated because he never listens and then when he gets caught they laugh. That to me is a big NO NO!! He needs his tail whipped. And on top of that he steals on just about every episode and there is never a consequence for that. Team Umizoomi-- We NEVER watch that. Just as stupid. and Olivia she is another brat I can't stand!

I am a fan of Yo Gabba Gabba,Backyardigans,Dino Dan, Peppa Pig, and a couple others. But that's where it mostly stops. We hardly ever watch any of the newer shows on Nick Jr. I usually stick with Sprout.

But this is my rant of Nick Jr. Thanks for reading!
