(this is a remaster of a former post I made because that one was pretty bad in my opinion) I don't really like Bluey mostly for multiple reasons. It is very sappy most episodes with emotional moments, character voices are annoying like Bluey, Bingo and Muffin and in general Muffin just pisses me off (I know she is a child guys and I know she gets consequences but still annoying) I just dislike and think it is super overrated. Now I do agree it is better than most kids tv shows nowadays with brainless characters and fast pacing but I just don't like this show. If you like it that's fine but just don't bash my opinion. I saw the trailer for the upcoming movie and disliked it too, characters feel too bouncy and they look weird especially them facing forward and stuff I don't like it. I do the like the scenery I'll give it that but it just looks like it came out of "Party Animals".

I'm a young adult with Autism and take pride in still enjoy shows where I may be outside the target audience, Disney Jr has a lot of great gems, both old and new. Even if I do find some modern Disney Jr shows a bit generic, there are still some other shows that I appreciate. Playhouse Disney carries a lot of my old favorites that have been a part of my childhood and stuck with me. I'm a huge Disney Fan and even if I haven't watched it as often as I did when I was younger, Nick Jr was probably the one out of the three I watched the most, I still find their content to be worth looking into. My favorite characters in each of the show has an interesting variety from main characters, to supporting characters, even some of the shows have a parent be the favorite.

The Shows in both the D Tier and the Haven't Watched tier I won't do since I don't really have a solid opinion that makes any of the characters stand out.

I stand by my opinion.

Most upvoted comment decides the show's spot on the list. Please think carefully and fairly before you comment. Try not to let nostalgia or recency bias cloud your judgement.

Each tier goes as follows: S= Amazing, A= Great, B= Good, C= Okay/Meh, D= Mediocre, E= Bad and F= Terrible.

As someone who was born almost a year after the Disney Junior rebrand and never got to experience the playhouse Disney era, I do think that Genevieve from Choo-Choo-Soul's “Where the magic begins” theme for Disney Junior is good tbh. Atleast Disney Junior has it's own theme song now. But tbh The Imagination Movers' “No telling what I can do”/“On playhouse Disney” theme for playhouse Disney felt a little more interesting to me and it sounded more upbeat and actually fun to listen to on repeat. Both theme songs (NTWICD and WTMB) are very nostalgic IMO (I can just say that I like the imagination movers' theme for playhouse Disney more, the wiggles' one is great too) and tbh it sucks how the 2024 rebrand does not even have a theme song that plays during the bumpers/IDS anymore. This is why I honestly dislike the 2024 rebrand. It just feels pretty lame and tbh it pretty much feels like Disney Jr does not do re-runs of their old shows from 1996-2018 like they straight out forgot them (with the exception of The lion guard, obviously) and tbh, I enjoy the Disney Junior themes. I just don't get it why preschool networks don’t do that anymore.
But comment down below your thoughts :)

Hi everyone,

I wanted to introduce a project I’ve been working on called LightShine.

LightShine is a collection of original animated songs and short stories for children, built around simple, positive messages kids can understand and remember — things like kindness, confidence, friendship, handling disappointment, and making good choices.

I’ve been creating the music and animated stories as a way to combine entertainment with little lessons that can naturally start conversations between kids and the adults in their lives.

I’ve put the LightShine videos together in a YouTube playlist so families can watch them in one place:

LightShine YouTube Playlist:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa0vGDFHhmp0

I’d especially appreciate feedback from parents, grandparents, teachers, and anyone else who works with young children. I’m still building the series, so hearing what connects with kids — and what you’d like to see addressed in future songs or stories — would be genuinely useful.

Thanks for letting me share it with the group.

(Ignore the Reddit logo in the corner btw, becuz like what I said this was inspired by someone who is not on here anymore. I saved the image btw. All credit still goes to them)

A few of these have reasons tho:

Franklin: Idk why but it just feels more like PBS kids than Nick Jr to me. I can kinda see it getting it's own “coming up next” character logo.

Rise Up, Sing out: IMO, it doesn't feel like a Disney Junior/Jr show. Including the animation style and what the show is supposed to be about too. It just feels more like it belongs to PBS kids tbh.

Shimmer and Shine: Okay, but Ngl, Shimmer and Shine just feels like it belongs on it's own channel. I mean, I don't really expect it to be airing on Disney Jr or PBS kids because yeah, I just think it belongs on Nick Jr (Honorable Mentions: Dora the Explorer, Blue's Clues, Paw Patrol, Blaze and the monster trucks, Peppa Pig)

RoboGobo: I have explained this in multiple posts/comments before, and I have said that Disney Jr has been Copying and Pasting their own animation style to different shows they air. And tbh, I just don't find it original and creative anymore. They barely make live action shows anymore too (also so does other children's channels as-well. And I feel so concerned because are kids not interested in live action preschool shows anymore?) and tbh RoboGobo feels to me like it has the Nick-Jr dynamics.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Really dude? You expect turning on your television on a Saturday morning and somehow seeing Mickey Mouse on Nick Jr when he is owned by Disney? That literally makes 0 sense. That is basically if like SpongeBob made a preschool show that would air on PBS kids. IT MAKES NO SENSE. You understand why Mickey Mouse Clubhouse belongs on Disney Jr? Because duh, of course we needed a show about Mickey Mouse himself, and for those children who are Mickey Mouse lovers too (like me, growing up tbh). Which is why Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is the #1 show that belongs on Disney Jr.

So yeah, that is pretty much it. Comment down below your thoughts.

Update from behind the scenes 💕🌱

And the bign't badn't wolf 🐺

I'm new on this sub, so I dunno the general consensus of Peppa Pig here, but I think it's a lovely show, even though the company that currently owns it is all over the place right now with its questionable (and gross) decision making

I hope you all enjoy this piece!

Meet the characters of Little Roots who learn and grow beside our little ones!

I’ve seen people talk about these shows for a while, and every time it’s just to hate. Lowkey I feel like most of the hate is from people who haven’t even watched it. Most, not all. So I’m gonna give my opinion as someone who has seen these shows (minus the cocomelon one. I refuse to watch anything with that child)

Btw, I don’t have any kids and I’m only in my 20’s. I don’t really watch tv that much, but when I do I just watch cartoons. They make me happy.

Super Kitties: 10/10
I love this show, it’s so cute. Nice to see a show where they don’t demonize cats. Too many series do that. The characters relationships with each other is actually really sweet. Even the villains. They treat their friends actually really good, not like how most would degrade and shame them. And we actually see character growth sometimes. Sometimes. The lessons are repetitive a bit, but I think they do it in a way that’s not so bad. One of my favorites.

Spidey and his Amazing Friends: 6/10
Not my favorite, but it’s pretty good. I like the towns people. They don’t take the villains bs. As in, they always tell them off. It may not be much, but it’s nice to see them standing up for themselves. It’s also full of community and that’s what gets me. From how the world is, it’s nice to see people being nice and caring about each other. They also have a lot of characters, but a few they bring from old comics, ones you wouldn’t really see nowadays so that’s pretty cool. The rest is a pretty generic superhero show. Not really any lessons, and if there is any it’s just the classic: keep trying, do your best, that jazz. It’s awful, but not my favorite.

Ariel: 9/10
Love this show. The designs are really cute. Say what you want about the live action Ariel, but having characters and especially a main character of color is important. When I was younger i always loved when I saw a black character, it made me happy seeing someone who looks like me. I want other kids to have that too. The way they did the characters is nice too. I love how caring the dad is. I like it when parents aren’t dooshbags to their kids. Also how they made Ursula more like a mentor and stay King Tristan’s sister (like she originally was supposed to be) is a nice touch. I love Ariel’s friends and her family overall. And how she’s still obsessed with land treasures and everyone just goes along with it. Plus, the way her tail changes colors for different emotions is adorable. I love those kinda character traits. Overall, cute show. I would like to watch it more but it doesn’t come on that often, and I don’t enjoy using Disney plus and stuff like that.

Anyway, this is my opinion on these shows. I’ve seen pretty much all of them though if you guys want my other opinions. You probably don’t, but that’s ok. Im not a fan of posting anyway ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

Uhh, should I zoom the image in and turn this into a character elimination? I love character eliminations ngl tho.

Yeah the reason why it's playhouse Disney only was because I was a playhouse Disney Stan atp before being okay with Disney Junior tbh. Still disliking the 2024 rebrand…

I'm a young adult with Autism and take pride in still enjoy shows where I may be outside the target audience, and Nick Jr has been with me all the way from when I was baby and still stayed close to my heart through elementary, even to middle school. Modern Day Nick Jr is nothing like the Classic Nick Jr I grew up with. There are a few select post Paw Patrol shows I like, but not too many.

Giving Credit to : u/Silent-Till5323 for his tier list inspiring me to my own.

I'm a young adult with Autism and take pride in still enjoy shows where I may be outside the target audience, and PBS KIDS has a ton of shows that do that to me. I enjoy a balance of both the older shows and the newer ones. I have a guilty pleasure for a lot of the characters, and some of the shows I seem to really enjoy the parents as characters or characters that aren't exactly the main characters.
