Worst show on Noggin ...


This absolutely the worst and most depressing show on Noggin. Franklin is a little turd, the music makes a person want to off themselves, or squaredance in a prison and some of the characters are just way too annoying.

I can't wait for the day when they cancel this stupid show about a bratty turtle.

"Squaredance in a prison?" Yee-haw, get down!

As corny as Franklin is, it's not a bad show by any means. It's certainly better than any of the s*** currently running on Nick:

Dora the Explorer
Go Diego Go!
Ni Hao Kai-Lan!
The Backyardigans

(Not to mention the excrutiatingly annoying Moose who pops up between shows on Noggin. )

As well as other retired Nick Jr. shows like Maggie and the Ferocious Beast, Oswald and Little Bill. Not a big fan of Blue's Clues either.

All of these shows are abominations, and really insulting, particularly Dora and its spin/rip-offs. (You could argue that I'm 19 and shouldn't be watching these shows, but I have been watching most of these since I was a kid and I didn't like them back then, either.) Franklin is a good show considering its genre, although it's not as good as Little Bear, Rolie Polie Olie or Papa Beaver's Story Time (anyone remember THAT?).

Do I gotta kill you to prove I like you?

Are you crazy?

There is something seriously wrong with Franklin. I can't put my finger on it, but the kid is too nice. I'm sure he will grow up to be some kind of mutant who goes on a murderous rampage.

When I used to babysit my nephews and Franklin was the only show that didn't make me want to stab my eyes out lol. Maybe it was because I remember reading the books in elementary school. But I thought Franklin was the easiest show to sit through on Noggin/Nick Jr.

The original series ran from 1997-2004, so it's already been dead. The only thing keeping it alive after all these years are memes.
