I really have it out for Max & Ruby, a children’s TV show on Nick Jr. and Noggin.
Everything about that show makes me crazy. I would ban it from my television is my daughter didn’t like it so much. I suppose there are much worse shows she could be watching, but whatever.
The show consists of 2 main characters (Max & Ruby), with an occasional appearance by Louise, Ruby’s best friend.
This leads to a very valid question…
Where are Max & Ruby’s parents???
Ruby, the older sister of Max, is a bossy, controlling and whiny little bunny. She is apparently the primary caregiver to Max since the parents are yet to be seen. All this at age 7.
How many times in one episode can we hear the phrase “No Max!”? -Really this could turn into a drinking game for adults.
She is constantly belittling Max, and ruining all his fun. Typical of a big sister, I suppose.
Max is not without his own little annoyances, mainly because he can only speak in one word answers. And its not just a one word answer just once, its over and over and over again…
Seriously it has to stop, now my daughter will pull a Max when she wants something! Maybe I do need to ban this show after all.
Max & Ruby has no educational value, and if anything, teaches bad habits to children. The plots are beyond pointless and dull. Why Nick Jr. hasn’t pulled this show I don’t know. Consider yourself lucky if your child has never seen it.
Oh, and let’s not even get started on the theme song.
