Most Overrated Kids Shows

The Top Ten
1 Adventure Time Adventure Time is an American animated television series created by Pendleton Ward for Cartoon Network. The series follows the adventures of a boy named Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada) and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio)—a dog with the magical power to change shape ...read more.

This show isn't the best show ever or anything like that. The characters can be annoying at times. But I don't know why people hate it. It is not a ripoff if super Mario bros or legend of Zelda. This show is kind of underrated not overrated. My question is, why do people hate adventure time?

A.T. is overrated. It is a Super Mario Bros and Legend of Zelda ripoff. The reason why I put this above Dora is because Dora is a little kids show and Adventure Time is a big kids show. EmperorCales, have you even played super Mario bros and legend of Zelda? If you haven't, then you're just saying that.

Yeah adventure times too overrated in fact when it started airing on abc3 they're like "they're here! " "jake the dog! " "finn the human! ".

Are you stupid? A damsel in distress it's called! Not called 'a Super Mario Bros and Legend of Zelda ripoff'. Get real.

2 Sanjay and Craig Sanjay and Craig is an American animated comedy television series that aired on Nickelodeon from May 25, 2013, to July 29, 2016, for three seasons and 60 episodes. The series is about a 12-year-old boy named Sanjay Patel who owns a talking pet snake named Craig.

How can it be overrated if everyone I know already hates it?

3 My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is an animated children's television series based on the fourth incarnation of Hasbro's My Little Pony franchise. The show follows a studious unicorn (later an alicorn) pony named Twilight Sparkle (Tara Strong) and her friends Applejack (Ashleigh Ball), Rarity (Tabitha ...read more.

And now I can just hear the entire Brony fandom stampede in the distance. My only problem with this show, if I'm being honest, was its obsession with redeeming characters and the world-building that didn't need to happen because it didn't add nearly enough to the story to be interesting. The main six were pretty well-rounded characters, (most of) the lessons were very important, and the beginning characters were very enjoyable to watch because they were evil in that fun way. But then came the redemption arcs. Then the map. Then good Lord did they really just make a child one of the last baddies and then NOT redeem her, but instead literally encase her in STONE? Why not do that with Starlight?! Geez, the only thing they got right was the music, and that's only maybe half of it. Some of it was showing them doing better. Than they wasted my time with shtick like the finally. Just... okay moral of the story is STOP MESSING WITH GOOD SETUPS. I take it back. The main problem was them trying ...more

There are tons of shows way better than this trash! You people have no taste at all!

Man I hate this show. I might be forced to see the new Equestria Girls movie because of my little sister.

I like this show, but it's EXTREMELY overrated.

4 Arthur Arthur is a Canadian/American animated educational television series for children, created by Cookie Jar Group and WGBH for PBS.
5 Clarence Clarence is an American animated television series created by Skyler Page for Cartoon Network. The series revolves around a young boy named Clarence and his two best friends Jeff and Sumo. Page, a former storyboard artist for Adventure Time and revisionist for Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, developed the series at Cartoon Network Studios as part of their shorts development program in 2012.

Yeah I Know. This Show Is So Boring. I Can't See Why So Many Kids Like It When It's Not Even That Entertaining.

Clarence definitely is stupid and idiotic. Adventure time is overrated as well

Very few people like it

6 Teen Titans Go! 'Teen Titans Go!' is an American animated television series produced by Cartoon Network. The show follows a superhero group called the Teen Titans, and shows what happens when they go home and have silly adventures. This show is Cartoon Network's revival of the popular 2003-2006 American animated television ...read more.

There are a bunch of shows aimed at really little kids above this and shows that almost no one considers good. Why? They aren't necessarily bad, it's just that they're aimed at 3-year-olds. On the other hand, you have Teen Titans Go! This show is an abomination. It's unfunny and tailored towards brain-dead kids with extreme ADD. CN has given it multiple seasons and it appears to be one of their most popular shows. It would be fine for most people if it was just some stupid show, but this is taking a beloved show, and stabbing it repeatedly with a rusty knife. An abomination that many people consider good for some inexplicable reason deserves to be higher than a mediocre show almost nobody considers good.

Bring the original back. That's all I'm going to say. This was unnecessary and how dare you even make this. Bring the original back.

This show is terrible! It was supposed to be aimed at little kids, until they made a not so subtle sex joke, now little kids are scarred.

People actually like this show. How? It's annoying, the animation is putrid, the characters are unlikeable, it's just one big mess.

7 PAW Patrol PAW Patrol is an Canadian animated television series created by Keith Chapman. It is produced by Spin Master Entertainment with animation provided by Guru Studio. In Canada, the series is primarily broadcast on TVOKids, which first ran previews of the show in August 2013. The series first aired on Nickelodeon ...read more.

I have no idea why so many people like it. Almost everyone I know loves it and calls it the best show ever. It's a preschool show. Also, if you look hard at it, you'll find it has poor morals too.

Every where you look you can't escape them. Their merchandise is EVERYWHERE!

Yes, it should be number 1, Adventure Time doesn't get enough love

This should be 1. It's a terrible show that gets overrated a lot

8 Caillou Caillou is a Canadian educational children's television series that was first shown on Teletoon (both English and French versions), with its first episode airing on the former channel on September 15, 1997; the show later moved to Treehouse TV, with its final episode being shown on that channel on October 3, 2010. The show was animated in Canada by CINAR Corporation (later Cookie Jar Entertainment), In season 5, the show was animated by South African-based studio, Clockwork Zoo. The show, based on the books by Hélène Desputeaux, focuses on a four-year-old boy named Caillou who is fascinated by the world around him.

Nothing but a stupid, whiny, spoiled brat! The sad thing is, people in my messed up high school actually like him!

Caillou is a brat and every child who watches this will become a brat.

He is so whiny. He throws temper tantrums over small things.

9 Barney and Friends Barney & Friends is an American children's television series aimed at children from ages 1 to 8, created by Sheryl Leach and produced by HIT Entertainment. It premiered on PBS on April 6, 1992. The series features the title character Barney, a purple anthropomorphic tyrannosaurus rex who conveys educational messages through songs and small dance routines with a friendly, optimistic attitude. Despite the show being popular with kids, the University of Chicago professor W. J. T. Mitchell's book The Last Dinosaur Book: The Life and Times of a Cultural Icon, he notes that the program is often a target for parody and negative attacks by children of various ages, adolescents, and adults in the United ...read more.

Barney Is Not Overrated, Because Everyone Hates Him. People Really Need To Understand That Overrated Does Not Automatically Mean The Show Sucks It Would Just Mean It Gets Too Much Praise.

This show is VERY overrated. Barney is an idiot who is nice on the outside, but is evil on the inside. It only teaches kids that if you see a dinosaur, always play Ring around the Rosie with it.

I wonder why Barney survived the extinction. And the kids, who I think are 10-12 years olds, act like toddlers, and play stupid games with their "friend" Barney. Like they’re under a spell to keep them loyal to Barney. And Baby Bop is a whiny little brat like Caillou and BJ is just stupid. And don’t even get me started on Riff. Barney’s songs are ear-bleeding and repetitive, especially the I Love You Song. Barney is super fat and has a stupid voice. He also sings off-key. Glad this show got taken out of schedule. And glad this show's rerun plans got canceled. ~Violet Moon

Yeah and his mouth moves and eyes close without maneuvering them with hands. It teaches kids how to play with a dangerous but cute dinosaur by playing ring around the rosie.

10 Dora the Explorer Dora the Explorer (2000 - 2019) is an American preschool educational animated TV series created by Chris Gifford, Valerie Walsh, and Eric Weiner in which Dora goes on adventures with her friend, a monkey named Boots.

Well If She's SO Overrated Then How Come She's The Most Hated Cartoon Character Of All Time? Care To Explain?

I hate her. I'm glad this show will be canceled in 2015. She is a blindy. She says swiper no swiping.

If anything it's underrated not overrated.

The Contenders
11 The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange is an American live-action/animated TV series based on the characters from the popular web series The Annoying Orange, created by Dane Boedigheimer and Spencer Grove, which is made for the television by Boedigheimer himself with Tom Sheppard for Cartoon Network.

Unfunny, the end

12 Bear in the Big Blue House Bear in the Big Blue House was a preschool variety show which was the most famous, popular, and fondly-remembered Playhouse Disney show, produced by the Jim Henson Company. The host, the titular Bear (Noel MacNeal) used his gentle charm and mannerisms to communicate with his audience of children. Topics ...read more.

He's just too happy. No educational value, and no learning about how to deal with negative feelings and emotions. It refuses to believe topics like death and divorce even exist. I am so ashamed that I was in a a phase of it in early 2018. My sister Ryan wanted to scream her head off when she watched it with me. I am so mad at myself because of watching this show! I'm glad this show was cancelled in 2006!

I love this show are you people mad?!?!?!

I'm Now An Teenager

13 Uncle Grandpa Uncle Grandpa is an American animated television series created by Peter Browngardt for Cartoon Network that premiered on the network on September 2, 2013. The series is based on Browngardt's animated short of the same name from The Cartoonstitute.

How is adventure time at number 1? This trash of a show, 'Uncle Grandpa' is weird, has no plot and just not funny anymore! This is sooo overrated

I Don't Think This Show Is Overrated!

Too overrated its weird as f.

14 Ben 10 Ben 10 is a media franchise created by Man of Action Studios and produced by Cartoon Network Studios. The franchise revolves around a boy named Ben Tennyson who acquires a watch-like alien device, the Omnitrix, which allows him to transform into ten different alien creatures.

They didn't have a pic for the reboot so here ya go. This was a disappointment and just screw you Cartoon Network.

15 Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn is an American television sitcom produced by Nickelodeon. The series focuses on 10-year-old, later 11-year-old quadruplets Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn Harper. They have nothing in common and often fight, but they must work together to solve everyday situations.

This show is so overrated.

Take this of the list guys this is the best show ever come on nrdd haters die! And go to jail

Die nrdd haters die

I hate this
Show it's so boring!

16 Breadwinners Breadwinners is an American animated television series created by Gary "Doodles" DiRaffaele and Steve Borst for Nickelodeon. ...read more.

Should be higher. This show is very overrated.

17 Rocko's Modern Life Rocko's Modern Life is an American animated television series created by Joe Murray for Nickelodeon. The series centers on the surreal life of an anthropomorphic Australian-immigrant wallaby named Rocko as well as his friends: the gluttonous steer Heffer, the neurotic turtle Filburt, and Rocko's faithful dog Spunky.

Outstanding show indeed but is treated as having a MUCH older target audience than it actually does

18 Jessie Jessie is an American sitcom that originally aired on Disney Channel from September 30, 2011 to October 16, 2015. The series was created and executive produced by Pamela Eells O'Connell and stars Debby Ryan as Jessie Prescott, a small town Texas girl who moves to New York City to try to become an actress, but instead she becomes a nanny to a high-profile couple's four children: Emma Ross (Peyton List), Luke Ross (Cameron Boyce), Ravi Ross (Karan Brar), and Zuri Ross (Skai Jackson).

Terrible show. Should've never aired.

19 Steven Universe Steven Universe is an American animated television series created by Rebecca Sugar for Cartoon Network. The show's based around a young boy by the name of Steven Universe, who is a hybrid of a gem and a human. He lives with his gem friends, Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl.

I've been thinking about this one a lot, and I just don't know what happened to this show. It lost all of its charm and there's just no saving it now. It was arguably a great show in the beginning, but it kept sliding down this slippery slope that is so hard not to catch the moment someone notices it. And I guess that was the problem: Nobody was paying enough attention to notice. There are some alarmingly similar details with this show that share details with a certain event in history, except they made it seem like the enemy was sympathetic. Don't even try to tell me the reason you watch it isn't because you want to just finish what you put so much time into already. Go ahead. Say it.

This show is genuinely magnificent. The problem is that the first 19 episodes make me want to watch uncle grandpa or Clarence. Since people usually start from the beginning of a series, it is extremely easy to see why people say that this show is awful.

I haven't got round to starting the series yet, but it seems overrated. Overrated doesn't mean it's bad though.

This and Clarence should switch places. At least Clarence does not have a toxic fandom.

20 The Thundermans The Thundermans is an American tween sitcom created by Jed Springarn. The show first aired in 2013. This show is about a family of superheroes who have adjusted to living a normal suburban life. On July 27, 2017, Nickelodeon released a statement to J-14, stating that the series has wrapped production after 4 seasons and 103 episodes. The series ended on May 25th, 2018.
21 React to That

This is one of the most overrated shows because it's stupid and it's based off of YouTube Kids React, which led to the show ruining the station and it's fans, it sucks.

22 SpongeBob SquarePants SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated television series created by marine biologist and animator the late Stephen Hillenburg for Nickelodeon. SpongeBob is currently the most popular show on Nickelodeon, as well as the longest running show, running for 23 years, and is beginning its 13th season. The show revolves around a sea sponge called SpongeBob SquarePants and his adventures under the sea. The show is considered to be one of the best Nickelodeon and cartoon shows of all time.

I don't think its all that over rated. But I will say the milled was the worst part but some were in sesons 9-10 in got back on its root. Ps this is not ruining nick. If any thing it the sitcoms ruining nick. PS ageng it just my opincon so don't hunt or theant any one if you don't like their opincon. Just vote and typt what you think.

I will have to agree that this show is overrated. I am at a like/dislike side with this show.

So overrated! Stupid, repetitive plot, I used to like this excuse for a show bu it's just so boring!

I agree, its pretty overrated and I hate the show.

23 Invader Zim Invader Zim is an American animated television series created by Jhonen Vasquez for Nickelodeon. The series centers on an extraterrestrial named Zim from the planet Irk, and his mission to conquer Earth and enslave the human race along with his malfunctioning robot servant GIR.

1. People claim Nickelodeon went downhill when this was cancelled (even though the animation and names were stupid)
2. Nearly everyone on the internet is obsessed with this show, seriously according to wikipedia there is a television movie in the making.
3. Everyone is obsessed with Gir.

Am I the only person here that doesn't care about this show or Gir?

24 Lazytown LazyTown is an English-language Icelandic children's educational musical action comedy program made by an international crew and performed by a cast from Iceland, the United States and the United Kingdom.

It's a amazing show

25 The Tom and Jerry Show The Tom and Jerry Show, also known as The New Tom and Jerry Show, is an animated television series produced for Saturday mornings by Hanna-Barbera Productions in association with MGM Television in 1975 for ABC based on the theatrical shorts and characters Tom and Jerry.

Have you ever noticed that this show is pretty much a rip off of Mickey Mouse.

This show ruined Tom and Jerry.

I want the original back
