Our Least Favorite TV Shows, In Order:

5.  Go Diego Go:  Ugh.  Although having a backpack that turns into a various assortment of outdoor adventure gear would be handy from time to time.  I would prefer a backpack that turns into the Rules of Civil Procedure or a Motion in Limine, frankly.
4. Wow Wow Wubsy:  A boxy, animated target of my rage.  Wubsy Wubsy Wow Wow POW POW.
3.  Blue's Clues:  Did you know they are on their second main character?  (No, not the animated dog, the human character - Blue remains the same)  The first guy, "Steve," allegedly had a problem with some white powder (he denies it) and has moved to bigger and better things.  Working in front of a green screen all day would drive me to find a way out too, buddy.  The new guy (Donovan Patton) doesn't bother me as much, but I would love to have been a fly on the wall when his casting agent called with the news about the part.
2.  Oswald:  Voice of Fred Savage overlaid on a blue octopus with a wiener dog for a pet.  We had enough with the Wonder Years, Fred.  Shouldn't you be on VH1 with Donny Osmond?
1.  Dora The Explorer:  I can't say enough about the 22 minutes of brain damage that this show inflicts upon us daily.  Jack LOVES it.  He even sings the theme song when he asks us to play it (oh yes, we routinely record it on the DVR.)  With the amount of time Dora spends going places with Boots, and since, each time, they need the "map," you'd think they would just buy a GPS system and call it a day.  "Where are we going? Tall Mountain! Where are we going? Tall Mountain!  Hey Boots, plug that into the GPS system and turn up Beyonce on the XM radio!  Swiper no swiping the XM Radio!"

Looks like you watch too much Noggin at your house. It really does make your noggin hurt after you watch it for a while. Lets do a Zoo day or Mesa Children's Museum.
