What Parents Need to Know

About Tickle U

Parents need to know that there is no objectionable material in these shows per se but that they are being surrounded by commercial tie-ins for Cartoon Network, the bi-product of which is that the show encourages TV watching in our youngest children. These tie-ins argue that the show "develops humor" but really, it's sophisticated brand extension. While some of the cartoons are fun, some are dull, and some are weird, but there's nothing scary or violent.

    Funny story about this..

    I was watching this at my dad's house. My (half) brother was watching Peppa Pig until my dad said that "that pig show" was awful and he requested to change the channel.

    If you watch this, you are just watching baloney

    I think this program is so dumb. Sure it may be GREAT for little kids, HOWEVER!!!! They say the jokes are so funny. - Buzzer sound - Proof? This how good their jokes are... Q: what is a crayon and it's blue? A: a blue crayon! Now how many times did you laugh at that? This show encourages baby, lame jokes...
