Top 10 Educational Kids Show Cliches

Except for The Backyardigans - Ilovestephanie

I can at least tolerate Sesame Street for having a catchy theme. But some others have annoying repetitive theme songs that make you want to cut your ears off.

The creator of this list passed away - PatrickStar3

For example: Yo Gabba Gaba

The Backyardigans but who can blame them? They are little kids who go on adventures. - Ilovestephanie

Too many preschool shows are formulaic. Dora, Super Why, Barney, and so many more follow the exact same plot line every episode.

At Least Sesame Street And Blue's Clues Try Something New For Kids To Learn - JPK

I'm thinking of Dora here - TwilightKitsune

Oh no there’s a bush in our way, *proceeds to destroy it with a math problem*

Team Umizoomi and Oso.

3 words DORA THE EXPLORER same with Go Diego Go too

"Oh no, there's a [harmless object] blocking our path! What do we do? "

"I know! Lets do some crazy thing to move it out of the way instead of just going around it! " - Pieclone

Not The Backyardigans. - Ilovestephanie

These protagonists are the smartest, coolest, and kindest people in their worlds. They have tons of superpowers, abilities, can solve every problem, always win everything, always gets to be the hero, and everyone loves them. They also NEVER make mistakes and if they do, everyone forgets about it in 2 seconds.
Examples:
Dora (Dora the Explorer)
Blaze (Blaze and the Monster Machines)
Mickey Mouse (Clubhouse/Roadster Racers)
Captain Jake (Jake and the Neverland Pirates)
Sofia (Sofia the First)
Milli, Geo, and Bot (Team Umizoomi)
Barney (Barney and Friends)

Seriously, some shows (Oobi) just have the absolute worst dialogue.

If you watch Daniel Tiger, there are so many cringey and cheesy lines..

Friendship is Magic is in the Title.

Some preschool shows suck for being too campy and preachy with their messages.

Barney.

The Backyardigans but Austin is so cute! - Ilovestephanie

Hate these - blackflower

Yeah fine, I'll admit sometimes you have to grab the viewers' attention. But if a kids show does this every other scene, then the viewers will just be confused.

Sometimes breaking the fourth wall isn't bad.

For example: the villains from Bubble Guppies, Swiper the Fox, and so many more. They get instantly reformed by having a talking to which is very unrealistic. The only preschool villain that is good is Robbie Rotten

Never have I seen an educational kid show talk about taking action when things get bad (other than Lazy Town).

I like them if they're funny - TwilightKitsune

Like I said Pj Masks!

At least Mister Rogers did well with its gentle slow pacing. But others are TOO slow.

Peppa Pig especially.

Sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows all day? I don't think so.

So cringeworthy...

Well, you wouldn't want your show to have 3 people in it.

Yeah to many - PatrickStar3

I regret putting this one.

You mean kids 3-5 years of age have never talked to the television?
Its also been a long time since you was that age.

They CAN see and hear you through that screen. They just need to know the right time to...leave...

The Backyardigans but who cares. They NEED to talk to the audience other wise I would be SAD. - Ilovestephanie

D O R A THE MURDER EXPLORER

Pj masks for example.

Pj masks in a nutshell "I'm gonna steal all the toys in town! DUR! "
So dumb!

The Backyardigans but we never see their parents. - Ilovestephanie

Hey a ten year old boy travels with two teens, to catch and battle. Its one of the longest running Animes if you watched, know and enjoyed the original 90s version the most you are labelled a genwunner. Not forgetting the songs. I heard kids had seizures once?

Examples: Pj Masks
Dora The Explorer
Sofia The First

*cough cough* Caillou

Example: Dora

Oh no Caillou and Boots from Dora the Explorer

Sheriff Callie in a nutshell

Because people think television should always be education not entertain.
