Worst Preschool Shows of All Time

The Top Ten
1 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),... read more

I know I hate caillou and it is the worst show in the world even though arthurs higher than this the show must be higher on the list I wish twilight sparkle came and deleted the show its bad and I can't stand this show I'm 10 years old and caillou pesters me and as long I'm alive people should cancelle the show plus I hate the 1st lyrics of the song ''i'm just a kid whos 4 BO that's WHY I HATE THE LYRICS

I don't like classic caillou because he acts like a big brat baby. But I like modern caillou because he's calm and he uses his imagination.

If I ever find him playing with my toy cars (don't really have any) I swear to god I'll murder him and send his body down a pipe

2 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.

Where to begin, Dora has a football shaped head and she is so dumb and stupid, It is the worst Nick Jr. show on the air. She yells at the TV and she is blind and deaf. She asks stupid questions like "Where's the mountain?" when it's a 3 feet away from her.

Worst thing about Dora the Explorer...someone did a picture of her in hospital in a coma. Its not for people in comas its to teach toddlers directions. How thick are people on the internet? Why don't you talk to the television like a 3 year old.

About inanimate objects lets think back to 90s preschool shows.
Was John who sailed the Ragdoll narrowboat having trips every time Rosie and Jim came to life they were inanimate objects they were rag dolls. Even the duck was and that quacked in the theme song and would come to life in the show on the boat.
How about Tots T.V.? three toddlers Tilly, Tiny and Tom who lived together in a cottage without adults around, they went to places without adults noticing.

I freaked out in excitement when I found out it was getting canceled. Canceling Dora was something Nick should've done 14 years ago.

3 Thomas & Friends Thomas & Friends is a British children's television series. In the United Kingdom, it had its first broadcast on the ITV network in Great Britain in 1984.

How the heck is this show on the list?! It was really good.

4 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.

This is better than "I love you"
Barney is a dinosaur
From our imagination,
And when he's tall, he's what we call
A dinosaur sensation!

Barney's friends are big and small;
They come from lots of places.
After school they meet to play
And sing with happy faces

Barney shows us lots of things
Like how to play pretend,
ABC's and 123s
And how to be a friend.

Barney comes to play with us
Whenever we may need him.
Barney can be your friend too,
If you just make-believe him!

Have you seen the list for worst T.V. shows for toddlers its got Family Guy, South Park, Happy Tree Friends, Adventure Time, Angela Anaconda, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Invader Zim, Mega Babies, The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, The Brothers Grunt, Aaahh! Real Monsters, The Slim Shady Show, Ren & Stimpy "Adu;t Party Cartoon" The Ren & Stimpy Show, King Star King and more

Sorry in UK we do better preschool shows. Ok you will say Teletubbies, Boohbah, The Tweenies and In The Night Garden suck. But we had Thomas the Tank Engine, Postman Pat, Fireman Sam, Brum, Rosie and Jim, Tots T.V., Button Moon, ZZZap! (how many times have you seen a television comic), Playschool, Playbox, Playdays, Pob's Programme, Come Outside, Andy Pandy, Bill and Ben.

I hate you, you hate me, let's go out and kill Barney, with a big shotgun and a very bigger saw, no more PURPLE DINOSAUR!

5 Bubble Guppies Bubble Guppies is an American-Canadian animated television series targeted at preschoolers, which premiered in 2011. Created by Jonny Belt and Robert Scull, the show takes place in an underwater classroom and educates children about various subjects through songs and sketches. With its colorful characters and interactive format, Bubble Guppies has become popular among young viewers. The show has received... read more

Bubble bubble bubble... Guppies guppies guppies! I can't stand this show!

I can't make it through the theme song.

6 Wonder Pets Wonder Pets! is an American animated children's television series. It debuted March 3, 2006, on the Nick Jr. block of the Nickelodeon cable television network and Noggin (now Nick Jr.) on December 27, 2006.

These things have terrifying beady teddy bear eyes.

Lame animation and annoying singing.

7 Go Diego Go! Go, Diego, Go! is an American animated educational interactive children's television program that originally aired on the Nickelodeon children's cable network in the United States and produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio .
8 Blue's Room
9 Team Umizoomi Team Umizoomi is an American computer-animated musical children's television series with an emphasis on preschool mathematical concepts, such as counting, sequences, shapes, patterns, measurements, and comparisons.
10 Teletubbies Teletubbies is a British pre-school children's television series created by Ragdoll Productions' Anne Wood CBE and Andrew Davenport, who wrote each of the show's 365 episodes. It is owned by Canadian Studio WildBrain, which is the largest independent Children's and Adolescent's Film Studio

Oh my god! This show is so creepy! I HATE Teleubbies. I remember when this show came back on Nick Jr., I was like "Oh no! Here we go again with this torture." Thank god it got taken off Nick Jr and off the air completely. There are better Nick Jr shows such as PAW Patrol, Bubble Guppies, Abby Hatcher, Blue's Clues and You and other shows than this garbage.

Why Rosie and Jim or Tots T.V. should've been rebooted instead of Teletubbies.
1. Teletubbies cancelled Playdays which annoyed many people. (Remember the Play Bus and Mr Jolly, Why Bird)
2. Rosie and Jim & Tots T.V. have better theme songs.
3. How many puppet shows exist nowadays, even though Rosie and Jim were based on rag dolls when they came to life they would've really been puppets.
4. Tots T.V. learn some French. Tilly was fluent but the other two understood her.
5. Clean up the derelict Tots T.V. cottage have you seen it google it.
6. Both shows if either of them were rebooted would more likely to have a movie than the Teletubbies which would be ridiculous.
7. The most interesting thing about a new Teletubbies is the babies Tiddlytubbies and the house looks better than the 90s version. (Beds and tables & chairs) Oh and the little car.
8. I hate Po's helmet for her scooter. It's a scooter not a bike.
9. Rosie and Jim and Tots T.V. had a funnier intro.

I used to think are they aliens? Their house was also like a ufo and it looked like another planet with their sun. Then its rebooted and they had babies what the? They behave like babies, talk like babies so how can they have them, my theory the Tiddlytubbies are younger brothers/sisters.

As childish and immature, as this sounds I actually wish the world was Teletubby land. The world now is dark, world leaders are just saying "Hey lets kill over millions of innocent people & animals." No danger in Teletubby land just 4 silly creatures, their babies the tiddlytubbies, baby sun, vacuum cleaner noo noo, and rabbits.

The Contenders
11 Peppa Pig Peppa Pig is a British preschool animated television series directed and produced by Astley Baker Davies in association with Entertainment One, which originally aired on 31 May 2004. It went on a hiatus for just over two years before re-premiering on 14 February 2015.

Stupid, predictable, annoying, and lazily animated. Piece of junk should be number 1

Not just the worst Preschool show. The worst Kids show ever!

I Love This Show Miss Rabbit Is My Favorite Character

I look around, but it's her in every place!

12 Boohbah Boohbah is a British children's television programme created by Anne Wood. It premiered on 14 April 2003 on ITV in the United Kingdom, followed by its Nick Jr.

Anyone got a Boohbah whoopee cushion? The so called farting. Farting not squeaking.

These things are morbidly obese enough to make Eric Cartman look like Zendaya.

No they weren't terrifying, just some odd show I remember in the weekend, early 00s.

The boohbahs were TERRIFYING, I was so upset whenever it came on

13 Peg + Cat Peg + Cat is an American/Canadian animated children's television series based on the children's book "The Chicken Problem", which was published in 2012. The series is created by Billy Aronson and Jennifer Oxley and produced by The Fred Rogers Company and 9 Story Entertainment. It debuted on most PBS stations on October 7, 2013, as part of the revamped PBS Kids brand.

The show is targeted to children 3 to 5 years old. The goal is to "inspire preschoolers’ natural curiosity about math and help them develop new skills and strategies for solving problems creatively in their daily lives. In keeping with the math theme, the animation is presented as if it were drawn on graph paper. ...read more.

This is a dum show on paper which has nothing but dum songs

My friend's little sister (who is one) loves many T.V. shows, and this one is her least favorite.

Annoying, Ugly and Stupid.

14 Arthur Arthur is a Canadian/American animated educational television series for children, created by Cookie Jar Group and WGBH for PBS.

Overrated. Other shows which are called terrible is because preschoolers can't have a sense of humour because the shows are a bit strange.

What the heck?! This show shouldn't be on here, it's an all-time classic.

Bad for kids. D.W is a horrible role model for kids. Every kid should not be allowed to watch this show!

Have any of you heard of Arthur's nightmare

15 Sofia The First Sofia the First is an American computer-animated television series that features a commoner joining the royal family as a princess.
16 Franklin and Friends

The original Franklin was awesome and a masterpiece. This time, it's a rip off. You can't rip off your own thing, but they did.

17 Mia and Me

Just one of Nick Jr's 11 fails from the past 3 years (the other 10 being Franklin and Friends, Bubble Guppies, Wallykazam, Lalaloopsy, Peter Rabbit, Tickety Toc, Julius Jr, Pocoyo, Mike The Knight and Zack and Quack)

18 Zack and Quack

All they say is, "Oh! We're living in a pop up world! " We get it. We know that you live in a pop up world. So don't remind us 24/7. This could've been a good show, but Nick Jr ruined it.

19 Tots TV

Worst? No more like one of the more underrated preschool shows. But it finished in 1998 so whatever. It gets less hate than Teletubbies, Boohbah, The Tweenies, Barney, Dora and Diego, In The Night Garden, Peppa Pig. (Just looking at the list).

Maybe Tiny and Tom were kinda ugly. Still its before Ragdoll Productions went downhill after Tots T.V. Ragdoll Productions made Teletubbies, Boohbah and In The Night Garden.

The characters in this show are ugly.

No this is a classic preschool show.

20 Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood is an American-Canadian animated children's television series that debuted in 2012. It serves as a spin-off of the classic show "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" and focuses on Daniel Tiger, the son of the original Daniel Striped Tiger. Aimed at preschoolers, the show teaches various social and emotional lessons. Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood has received several awards and widespread praise for its educational value and positive messaging.

ARRGGH! Worst show ever, next to Teen Titans Go! It ruined a classic, and now I'm gonna interview the characters!

Prince Wednesday: What kind of name is that!? I hate how he always says stuff like,
" This is a simply royyyaaall playground! " or " A royyyaaall couch cushion fort! " Anyway, you guys get the message. Plus, he's stupid.

Miss Alayna: Why does she go by " Miss "? I mean, even her dang teacher calls her that! Her house design is dumb and she always wear her dress backwards for no reason. Alayna, your not silly, your stupid! ( No offense to you if your name is Alayna. )

O: He thinks he's so smart but he is actually a real bird - brain. The books he reads don't have any words, a title, or even an Author! He is a big baby and I bet if someone called him a bird - brain he would run away crying since he can barley fly!

Caterina: At the end of every sentence she says meow, meow. It reminds me of Starfire always saying the. They both have awful ...more

This how is aired all the time on PBS kids I think it's stupid and (since I'm 8) sometimes I'm forced to watch pbs 5 seconds later I go play my 3ds instead of watching this garbage

They took a classic and made it boring.

21 Nina Needs To Go "Nina Needs to Go!" is an American animated series of shorts that aired on Disney Junior, beginning in February 2014. The series follows the titular character, 4-year-old Nina, as she visits a variety of settings such as the zoo and the beach.

In each location, Nina becomes so engrossed in play that she finds she "needs to go" to the bathroom. The mission then becomes getting her to the bathroom... read more
22 Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is an American computer-animated interactive children's television series which aired from May 5, 2006, to November 6, 2016. The series, Disney Television Animation's first computer animated series, is aimed at preschoolers.

I have only heard of the one with famous people when they were teenagers? So a new Mickey Mouse people diss because its usually for the little ones.

23 Baby Shark's Big Show!

This show is the absolute worst Nickelodeon show of all time. It features the obnoxious Baby Shark character from the YouTube channel "Pinkfong" and trust me, he's just as annoying on TV as he is in the song.

This show is basically Fred: The Show for preschoolers. Both shows feature characters from popular YouTube channels, have obnoxious characters as the main character, and generally suck.

Ugh the Pinkfong song is bad enough! But this show?! It is the worst Nick Jr. show I've ever seen!

24 Henry Hugglemonster Henry Hugglemonster is an Irish animated children's television series that debuted in 2013 on Disney Junior. Based on the book "I'm a Happy Hugglewug" by Niamh Sharkey, the series follows Henry Hugglemonster, a young monster, and his adventures with his family and friends. The show aims to teach young children about family values, friendship, and problem-solving. Henry Hugglemonster has received praise for its educational content and vibrant animation.

I watched the commercials and decided it was annoying.
