Turn on Noggin, Sprout, or Playhouse Disney, and you'll find plenty of shows that get on an adult's nerves... even while your child laughs, sings, and claps along.  But some are more annoying than others.  Here, we count down the top ten most annoying kids' shows on television.

10.  Mr. Rogers:  Mr. Rogers was a sweet old man with a soft, lilting voice that can eventually drive a mom insane.  He just wanted to entertain little kids, but if we have to hear "It's a beautiful day" one more time...

9.  Spongebob Squarepants:  The only people over 7 who can appreciate Spongebob are stoned college kids.  For the rest of us, Spongebob's frenetic animation and ear-piercing voice are nothing short of obnoxious.

8.  Dora the Explorer:  Can you tell me if my voice is grating?  You can?  Wow! That's great!

 

7.  Barney & Friends:  The OG annoying kids' show, Barney and his fake-happy kids are still going strong on PBS and still aggravating parents.

6.  Caillou: This little bald kid is the whiniest child on TV.  Who needs a cartoon character who teaches kids how to complain?  Er, complain more?

5.  The Wiggles:  Lite F.M. for the toddler set. This brunette quartet of middle-aged men make Barry Manilow sound like Metallica.

4. The Hoobs:  Ugly puppets with dead eyes who sound like bad Beatles impersonators.  We'll pass.

3.  LazyTown:  Straight outta Iceland, this show features creepy plastic kids and bewigged real-life children sing to vaguely techno music.  LazyTown?  More like CrazyTown.  (And what's with the guy with the Snidely Whiplash mustache?)

2.  The Doodlebops:  Why must all the shows feature bizarre looking characters who sing cloying songs?  First LazyTown, now The Doodlebops.  And not only are they strange, they play to hordes of cheering, mesmerized kids.  We're pretty sure they are starting some sort of cult.

1.  Yo Gabba Gabba:  The real question is on how many drugs were the creators when they conceived this show?  If the purpose of Yo Gabba Gabba is to give children nightmares, mission accomplished.  Quite frankly, we'll be sleeping with a night light on.
