Peppa Pig

anyone else watching? I got into it whilst on the elliptical trainer at the gym...it's drawn me in, over time.

 

For people that have kids of a certain age, the answer is most likely "yes".

 

My twin girls adored that show, once upon a time. They are well past it (nearly 10 y/o) but it was a "big deal" in my house 5-6 years ago.

 

Anything would be better than the unrelenting, whining Caillou.

 

My Son is now 8 so he has grown out of it but from the age of about 2 until he was 5 that is all we had on TV. I've actually been to Peppa Pig world which was quite an experience!!!

 

Haven't seen the show, but my son has some really stupid Peppa Pig books.

I think a lot of writers of childrens' books don't have kids, and therefore don't understand that little kids like having the same book read over and over, and watching the same show over and over. Otherwise, why would they make characters that are so annoying? I don't get it.

 

We’re a Dinotrux household

 

My five year old niece is a big fan. She pronounced the word "banana" with a British accent ("ba-nah-nah") for the longest time because she was hearing it on the show that way. I was sad when she started saying it with an American accent!

 

my son watches it from time to time. it cracks me up sometimes. "ello, ello, ello" ... "this is how a police officer says hello"

 

Haven't seen that one yet. We watch:

PJ Masks
Llama Llama
Boss Baby (TV Show and the movie)

 

Watch w my granddaughter Animation is simplistic but concepts are appropriate for four yr olds and 63 y.o

 

Big fans in our house, also Ben & Holly’s Little Kingdom, created by the same folks

 

Love it... its right up my alley......the subtle adult British sardonics are just enough to crack me up every time.plus the kids love it so win win

 

Not anymore, but plenty a few years ago.

 

My kids used to be into Peppa Pig. It's a well made kids show. Some bits had me laughing out loud.

Papa answers the phone - someone starts speaking to him in French.
"I think there's something wrong with the telephone!" he blurts out. LOL!

 

It got banned in China because they didn't like to show kids that it was fun to play in mud.

 

One episode is banned in Australia. It’s about how spiders can’t hurt you and they’re friendly. Makes sense in the UK but Australia has very different spiders (and they do hurt people).

It's no Clangers.

 

It's not trying to be that.

What it does is cleverly observe how young children and especially young siblings behave, all wrapped up in situations such as picnics and gardening, that are nothing special for adults but that are huge firsts for young children.

Little things such as leaving a teddy bear behind must surely chime with lots of adults.

And it's all wrapped up in gentle humour. Love it!

 

Thanks. I get that. I mean it's not classic British children's programming IMO. YMMV.

We live in Canada and my daughter has Clangers toys and a stuffed Bagpuss that she sleeps with at night. She was never much for Peppa (and the Paw Patrol phase was brief, thank God). These days Teen Titans is her fave, but over the weekend she asked to watch the Schoolhouse Rock DVD.

 

If you have issues with Peppa Pig then don't even think about watching "In The Night Garden". I think the makers of that were high on something at the time.

 

I draw the line at Teletubbies and Rastamouse.

 

It's a little sad when the youngest outgrows Nick Jr. Our youngest will be 9 soon and no longer watches that channel but if we see Peppa on we will watch it and all of us enjoy it. I also like Yo-Gabba-Gabba. These days our 9 year old is more into The Loud House or The Amazing World Of Gumball. Which is fine because I like those too.

 

My 3.5yo daughter is obsessed with it. They do a great job of catering some of the humor towards adults, like the narrator constantly stating the obvious when the characters are wrong about something (similar to "Arrested Development").

 

Peppa was pretty popular with the grandkids (now 5 1/2 and 7) but they've pretty much moved on(though the 7 yr old insists on making the snorting noise._ Their current favorite is "The Greatest Showman." They will watch that on an endless loop but occasionally a Disney Junior show grabs their attention.
