Yes!! It's super annoying! They get worse the longer they go on.The thing about Blue's Clues is that they played the same episode all week, because kids like repetition. I babysat for 2 kids whose mother was gone in the mornings, just about the time Blue's Clues came on. I like the show! But watching the same episode every day for a week drove me insane. Although it's still definitely better than Barney or Teletubbies or other toddler shows.
I absolutely cannot stand the live-actions kids' shows on the Disney Channel. The hammy acting and stupid storylines are so annoying. I would have been embarrassed to watch those past age 6, I think. . .
The one that has been pretty good is Disney's The Secrets of Sulphur Springs. It's PG but I'm not really sure of their target audience. It's just a nicely done time-travel mystery series.
And Barney was banned in my house. Along with Dora. The kids could watch those at someone else's house; but not at home!
