Children's Programming: What do you love/hate?

I could watch the PBS Curious George cartoons all day, I think they're so cute. Also Sesame street, especially when they have guests like Brian Williams doing a Special Report on why SS residents are suddenly refusing to share (I love that episode).
I am lukewarm on WonderPets, Kai-Lan, Thomas, Bob the Builder, Calliou (what the hell happened to the kid's hair, anyway???) Max and Ruby and Yo Gabba Gabba. Aside from WonderPets, my kids are, too, so we don't watch much of any of these.
I loathe The Wiggles and Barney is still the all-time worst, as far as I'm concerned.
What do you think?

Re: Children's Programming: What do you love/hate?
I hate spongebob. I know he's not for little kids, but it seems everyone I know lets their babies watch it. I'm the odd one! LOL Barney irritates me, but DD likes it.
Wonder Pets, YGG and The Fresh Beat Band are her favorites. The third irritates me, but she loves that show, so I suck it up.
I love love love Curious George too! and so does DD
Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Kids on Noggin is DD's 1st and all time favorite, we even have several books that she loves to read over and over.
The other ones I dont mind watching are Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Handy Manny, Dora, Little Einsteins, and Tigger and Pooh, although we don't watch the last two very often often.
Hate Max And Ruby, Yo Gabba Gabba, Barney, Caliou, Special Agent Oso.
I love Yo Gabba Gabba. DS and I both enjoy sitting on the couch and watching an episode or 3. DS isn't really interested in any other shows yet.
I have hated Barney and Dora/Diego since before I was even pregnant with DS. I'm keeping them out of DS's life for as long as possible.
I don't mind Wonder Pets, Handy Manny, Yo Gabba, and the Imagination Movers.
I can tolerate Curious George, Sesame Street, Kai-Lan.
I can't stand Mickey's Clubhouse, Max and Ruby, and Special Agent Oso.
ETA: I can't believe I forgot about Sid and SuperWhy! Those are two of D's favorites, and I don't mind watching them, either.
Joseph likes Wonder Pets, Dora and Diego. I think the Wonder Pets are cute, and I tolerate Dora because Joseph only wears shoes because of Boots. Diego bugs me, but I forbear.
I don't have a position on the Wiggles, but I hate Barney. And Olivia creeps me out. All the pig heads look too real, like the decapitated pig face I unexpectedly encountered at the SuperWalmart in Kissimmee at about 1 a.m. the night before Christmas or Easter one year.
DD is obsessed with Dora for some reason. She also really likse Mickey's club house and Handy Manny. She will wacth Special Agent Oso even though I'm not a fan.
I can't stand Spongebob (she not allowed to watch it), Max and Ruby (that stupid bunny's voice annoys the crap out of me lol) and Barmey. I would really like her to watch more Sesame Street if anything but she will take or leave it. She not huge on Sesame.
I could have written this post. Michael loves PBS Kids - Super Why, Sid the Science Kid, Sesame Street.
We don't watch anything else really.
Wiggles, Teletubbies & Barney are hideous.
I hate Yo Gabba Gabba and I wont let them watch it. I think it is just weird and not interesting in the least. I also hate Ruby of Max and Ruby.
I like the message in Wonder Pets and Little Bill. C loves Dora/Diego and hates Kai-Lan.
DS will only sit still and watch Curious George, Thomas and Dora. Dora he watches right before bedtime.
He will watch little bits of everything especially if it has music.
I HATE: Max & Ruby (Where are their parents?), Fresh Beat Band, Barney, Yo Gabba Gabba (I feel like I am watching someones bad acid trip), Diego, and Wonder Pets.
