1. The annoying songs/music videos that come on between each show.
It is sad when you know all the words to these songs and they are stuck in your head all day, but I couldn't tell you any of the new top 40 songs on the radio. The most annoying one is "What are you feeling?" and the lady does sign language with it....Ahh so annoying!
2. Craft ideas
Nick Jr always has craft ideas to do with your kids like making Dora Cupcakes, Fresh Beat Band Smoothies, Backyardigans Hopscotch and Ni-ho Ki lan Animal masks. First, I hate doing crafts. Secondly, I don't need my babysitter making me feel like an inadequate mother. Once I did attempt to make "The Fresh Beat Band Smoothies" with my kids. It wasn't good enough for them because I didn't print out the faces of the Fresh beat band and stick them onto their straws. I am not going to waste my money on crafts supplies I will never use again.
My Message to Nick Jr: Stop doing craft Ideas...I will never do crafts with my kids. Instead, you should give games ideas. I love playing games and my kids love playing games. Even if I did the crafts with my kids, it would be a one time thing and the artwork would than sit in a closet or in the trash.
3. Yo Gabba Gabba
Whoever created this show must be on drugs! This show is pure insanity and really annoying. They try to cover up how ridiculous this show is by having cool celebrities appear. Just because Jack Black does a dancey dance doesn't make this program any cooler or any less ridiculous.

haha I totally agree! I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks that Yo Gabba Gabba sucks. I mean do we really need a song that says "Don't bite your friends?" lol
Lucky for us we don't have cable. Occasionally the kids get on Nick Jr website and play dora games. Go PBS!
Nick Jr is still a far cry better than the 100% commercial that is Disney Junior. I know they own the rights to all that stuff, but don't pretend you are not pushing all the toys, DVD's and promoting the current movie at the theater.
Nick Jr has sparse sponsorships for places like ChuckECheese's or Kleenex, but both are tied to actual good tips or advise for kids, not outright commercialism.
i totally agree nick jr sucks! it is probably the worst entertainment since barney! while the kids can learn things, they are really stupid thing like whatever show can promote sharing and caring and blah blah blah.
