Talkback: Tickle U (All Shows) [8/22 - 8/26]

[li_mangaman]

No talkback thread. Someone please make one, because I know anything I will make will suck. So until someone makes one we'll use this.

Is Tickle U like a 3hour Sketch 'comedy' show? And WTF is up with these annoying tips for parents next to the logo?

Can anyone give me the bulk of info on this block?

And one last thing. Harry would be less safe in DinoWorld then he would in his bed wouldn't he?

****! This is the third thread titled "Tickle U." And, if you wanted it so bad, you should've made the talkback yourself. Not even rather sure myself many are even watching the block.

Those tips for parents are likely for parents who are watching the programming with their kids.

And, one last thing. You'd be better if you'd scope through the forum, searching through the threads aptly titled TICKLE U for your information. It's a little too late to be asking around...

Hey, I know this is kinda off-topic, but did anyone noticed that Clifford's now part of Cartoon Network now? It looks like Clifford fans get to enjoy Clifford in both PBS and CN.

EDIT: Nevermind, it's just a movie. I thought they really brought Clifford to CN. I overlooked, sorry.

Soooo...No official talkback thread for Tickle U? I'll give my two cents in this thread.

I recorded it (1-so I can sleep in and 2- so i could fast-foward the shows). It seems like they are considering the whole block 1 whole show, due to the BUG and the ratings logo showing up when the hosts pop on. This block is 1000 times better for kids then the current Nick Jr, imo. They had a bar at the bottem during the entire block, kind of telling parents about the block, what show they are watching, sujestions and tips for interaction with thier kids, etc. Hopefully that bar will be gone by next week, due to it was blocking some of the ending credits and words. They had an interesting schedule, very jumbled up, but unique. They had one ad break per half hour, so it wasn't spotted with ad breaks (Nick Jr. does this too). One of the shows (the Pig one), had the Nick Jr. logo in the ending credits! :eek: I wonder how this block will develope in the future...

Is this even worth a talkback? I mean it's for little kids. Just my opinion.

Lol @ Mommy Bar. So they are keeping it, huh?

Also, a mention, CN did a good job with the computer animated graphics (for the hosts) during the block

Is this even remotely successful ratings-wise? I think it's harder to start off a little kids block, especially when they're already drawn to Nick Jr.

I'm kind of Drawn to Gerald McBoing Boing myself. It's like Atomic Betty; Either you like it or you don't. The Character Designs are also nice.

I changed the title of the thread. I don't anticipate much talk for a preschooler block, but knock yourselves out.

"Mommy Bar." Sounds like a good place for mommies to sneak off to while the kids watch this show (and grab a latte or maybe a Bud Light!;) )

Anyhow, it is kinda cute. I see Gerald McBoing Boing and Firehouse Tales taking off like the proverbial rocket, and maybe Little Robots. (Little boys gobble up shows like Firehouse like freshly-baked cookies.) I've yet to see the other shows in their entirety.

Anyone get the early ratings on this yet? I'm wondering how it's faring against shows like Dora and Blue's Clues, as well as how it will fare later on in the fall, especially with the impending arrival of Diego (the Dora spin-off).

"Mommy bar" could probably be equated to the age old saying "Teaching your grandma how to suck eggs".
