CBBC is well skill!

[ska invita]

WIth monday off, I've just been resting on the sofa and found myself watching BBC1s kids tv - it seems they've got a whole new bit of programming in time for back to school today.

I dont really like kids tv, but either im just really tired and have regressed twenty years, or the new shows are really impressive!

First up, Shaun the SHeep, which is as good as any other Aardman animation, and with no dialogue its in universal comedy territory. It may even be better than Pingu!

Then there's Evacuation, where city kids live the life of evacuated war time kids. This show is all good, and considering channel 4 have done a simliar thing and run it at 8.30pm I think its quite mature programming considering the time slot.

Also pulling off that trick is Scorpion Island, which is like Survivor but for kids. This is also done very well, and makes the sticky back plastic tv i watched as a kid look like

The weekest show is something about a bear...cant remember the title right now - even that is quite entertaining - mainly cos of the bear's (sock on a hand) somewhat depressive personality.

The weird thing is that its the same run of shows everyday of the week, so if you get the chance have a look

There's some good shit on the BBC for kids...I was off all last month and spent many happy mornings watching SMart on BBC2.

Don't watch much of the educational stuff but like some of the cartoons that are on.

The Night Garden should be Killed In The Face.

I watched that today (whatever it is) but I quite liked it!

I don't know if it is a repeat or a different program...

I enjoyed it anyway

"Well skill"? I thought the kids had stopped saying that about 5 years ago.

 

[In Bloom]

I'm stuck watching this shit in work every fucking shift. Well, that and Jeremy cocking Kyle.

CBBC has always been shit, I mean, Blue Peter for fucks sake?

"Well skill"? I thought the kids had stopped saying that about 5 years ago.

I believe the term du jour is "immense", as in "Mum, your dress is immense"

and verily I say unto thee that Stupid is the most immense thing on TV, not just CBBC
