| 1 | Angie | I specifically want to see Max and Ruby come back on weekdays in an afternoon/evening slot!! I would also like to see Dora come back for those viewers whose children I know greatly miss that show. |
| 2 | Rudy | I really miss my Max and Ruby being on at 5PM on Monday Wednesday and Friday!!! I am a 3 year old boy and I get really upset when some of treehouse's new shows come on. I go up and turn the tv off!!! I used to love to watch treehouse all the time!!! |
| 3 | Anonymous | Would also like to see Barney, Backyardigans and Miffy on 2 or 3 times per day.
Completely remove the new shows; Ni Hao Kai-lan, Fifi and the Flowerpots & In the Night Garden - they are freaky and scare my little ones. When these shows come on our TV goes off. |
| 4 | Venus | New shows are fine as long as you introduce them slowly like once a week and see if the kids like them!!! Toddlers know when their favourite shows are on and they know which channel is TREEHOUSE. We miss Dora!! Also the new shows are strange. We do like the wiggles and the koala brothers is ok too. But the others need to go!!! Also bring back Timothy Goes To School!!!!! |
| 5 | Kristen | So agreeing. I miss what Treehouse was like before this silly change in their programming. It's disgusting! |
| 6 | Jenifer Cook | Please listen to us as the viewers or we will find another station to tune in to! |
| 7 | Chris Yashar | |
| 8 | dora | Dora the Explorer everyday! |
| 9 | Eugenia Alexandrakis | |
| 10 | Anonymous | We need our Diego and Dora back!!! Little Bear is sadly missed in our house. |
| 11 | Jennifer Peeler | Please bring Dora back.
Why fix what isn't broken? |
| 12 | Stacy Huard-Bernuy | I have to agree about the creepier new shows like In the Night Garden. That one isn't good at all. If Treehouse is trying to get me to turn off the tv during that half hour, they succeeded. |
| 13 | Anonymous | The newer ones are a bit strange, I agree. I do prefer the old ones more other then Max and Ruby. |
| 14 | Sheri | Really hate Go Gabba Gabba and In the Night Garden - would like some of the old shows back in the 4-8 pm time slots. |
| 15 | lann | Max and Ruby were overplayed and I understand some new shows were needed but two of the most popular shows Dora and Diego should not have been reduced. Also, why change the time slot for the shows that were staying - at this age kids like consistency and the fewer changes the better so it made no sense to move shows around that were remaining. |
| 16 | Darryl Delong | |
| 17 | Aimee | Also bring back more Backyardigans! |
| 18 | Angela White | My daughter (and myself) are extremely disappointed that Dora is no longer on during the week. The show was part of her bedtime schedule and she loves Dora |
| 19 | jenna | Max and Ruby were on a lot but that is why it is difficult for my twins to understand why they aren't on. They sit in front of the tv and ask for Max half the night!!! It is extremely hard for little ones to understand. Its fine if they want to just put it on one or two weekdays but to not put it on in afternoons at all is pretty big adjustment. DEFINITELY bring back DORA and DIEGO regularly and get rid of GO GAMMA and IN THE NIGHT GARDEN |
| 20 | Dawn | PLEASE put Dora on daily again!! My daughter is only 18 months and everyday she asks "Where Dora?" The kids get used to their favourite shows and the really popular shoes should stay one daily, even if you have to move the time slots around. The new shows are rather different. Thanks!! |
| 21 | missy | The new schedule desperately needs some revamping. Please take a look at removing some of the new shows or putting them on less often and putting Dora back on and the other tried and true shows the kids are used to having on treehouse. Max and Ruby is missed in my house as well. |
| 22 | Grandpa Rick | My grandson is very upset at the change in the treehouse schedule. It is very hard to explain to a toddler that their favourite shows no longer are on. His favourite is Max and Ruby and loved to watch it at 5PM evening the 10PM slot was ok on nights he wasn't feeling well and would wake up. I was at the kid's play centre in town here today and all of the parents were up in arms about Dora being taken off. I hope a lot of people sign this and spread the word to sign it. I think I will maybe take a list into the playcentre and ask people to put their email addresses on it so they can sign too. Hopefully Treehouse will listen!!!!! |
| 23 | Mommy | Hi, I just want to say I miss a lot of the good programs that were on treehouse such as Blue Clues, Timothy Goes to School, and Dora. I also believe that Canadian shows such as Toopy and Binoo and Max and Ruby and I believe Franklin too should be given top billing on Canadian channels. Come on treehouse why don't you ask us what we want before you make these changes? Advertise on your channel you are thinking of making changes and that if you want input to log on to your site or something. Don't just bombard the children with shows they aren't familiar with and they have had a good trial period now and I know my kids still don't like them! |
| 24 | Ian May | I agree with bringing back whatever they want as long as "In the night garden" is taken care of. |
| 25 | Anonymous | I would like to thank you for taking the time to listen.
I have two children under the age of two and a first grader. My first grader grew up watching Treehouse and up till now all my children have enjoyed the station. My middle child is now 21 months old can count to ten and back to one with no help. she can talk really well and has learned some spanish. She has been fasinated with Dora since the first time she saw the show. Dora and Diego are the two shows that all my children enjoyed watching. I think that shows like that help teach our children to count, problem solve and use manners. I thought that the programing was fantastic in fact treehouse was the only station that my kids enjoyed watching. I am honestly shocked with the new spring line up. My children are not at all impressed. I can't really blame them. I sat down and watched the new shows and some are ok, some are not ok they are down right creepy. Treehouse is now a station that I feel the need to filter out some of the shows that are on. I would just like to let my kids be able to watch show they like and can learn from and not be worried about what they are watching. I have gone so far as to program my T.V. to show only the shows I think a youg child should watch. I thank you for giving us the parent's a chance to be heard and I hope that I can soon turn on Treehouse to find the shows that teach my kids that learning is fun. |
| 26 | Kelly Richard | Bring back Dora please, and take Go Gabba Gabba off the list, it's horrible |
| 27 | linda trenice | I would like to see the Canadian shows be given top billing on Treehouse. We have some quality canadian kids shows and those should be spotlighted - Max and Ruby, Toopy and Binoo, Four Square, Franklin, Ants in Your Pants - lets see these shows on ahead of the new shows that are taking over that are not even canadian.
Dora, out of sheer popularity and the fact that it is great for the kids - should be on more frequently as well! |
| 28 | Kristie Knight | PLEASE get rid of Go Gabba Go and In The Night Garden. They are awful, creepy and I don't want my children watching them. My son likes the new show "my friend rabbit" but otherwise, we miss Franklin, Little Bear, Dora and Diego! |
| 29 | Rebecca Mather | my 3 yr old son now likes to talk like my 10 month old....baby talk when in the night garden is on. we don't let him watch it! it's pathetic |
| 30 | Renee Rogers | I agree with all of the above shows and not the new ones. I would sign this petition 1000 times over if I could THE NIGHT GARDEN AND GO GABBA NEED TO GO they are horrible shows and teach nothing to our children even my 16 month old wont watch them! |
| 31 | Anonymous | Strongly agree! All the kids I know of around 3- 4 years old love Dora and Diego. I have to give explanations like "Dora is tired now, just need a little break" to ease the anxiety of my 4 year old. daughter has |
| 32 | Jaime Maxwell | I really don't like the new line up of shows--my son is 2.5 yrs old, and he loves Dora, Diego, Max & Ruby, Mighty Machines, Toopy & Binoo-- as for the Night Garden...what on earth is this show about?? And same for Go Gabba Go, I honestly don't know what my son is learing from them. They remind me of the TeliTubbies, which were equally annoying when they were on TV. |

| 34 | Anonymous | Go Gabba Go has got to be the worst. I was sitting on the couch with my grandson yesterday while this show was on. I happened to turn around and saw that he had his fingers in his ears because he didn't want to listen.
Treehouse is really doing a disservice to its subscribers as well as to itself. Playhouse Disney became available to us early January. I don't find the shows on Disney very educational and I find they don't reflect Canadian values, so I had the TV tuned to Treehouse most of the day. However, with Treehouse's new schedule, I am having to change to Playhouse Disney more and more often.
Please get rid of Go Gabba Go. Bring back Backyardigans Monday to Friday.
Thank you |
| 35 | Mindy Johnson | In The Night Garden has to go. Bring Dora and Diego back please!! |
| 36 | Kim Hillier | I do not like the new shows on Treehouse such as In the Night Garden and Yo Gabba Gabba. They do not hold the attention of my two year old son like Dora, Deigo and Max and Ruby do. We were watching Yo Gabba the other night and he turned to me and asked me to turn it off, so I did. It is a somewhat creepy show. |
| 37 | Anonymous | In the Night Garden is absolutely ridiculous! Bring back all the old programming please |
| 38 | Alisa K. | Please bring the good quality shows back. This garbage that Treehouse has put on is for mindless idiots. |
| 39 | Stacey Young | Please bring back these shows. |
| 40 | Twila | |
| 41 | marie | The new TV line up is terrible!!! Bring back the more educational shows. My granddaughter won't watch the new line up at all. She loved all the others shows. She really misses Dora. I'll just go and buy her some and she won't watch Treehouse anymore is they don't come back! |
| 42 | Lisa Foster | Bring back the morning Backyardigans. Stop dumbing down the shows for our smart kids. |
| 43 | Anonymous | Bring back the Backyardagins in the mornings!!! |
| 44 | Janice Buchanan | |
| 45 | Anonymous | please please please put back on Franklin, Little Bear, Toopy and Binoo, Dora, Diego, and Max and Ruby in place of the creepier new shows that don't stimulate the education of our preschoolers such as Go Gabba Go and In the Night Garden! they are very bad |
| 46 | Anonymous | I have stopped watching treehouse due to the new programming. How can treehouse put on such idiotic show like Yo Gabba Gabba and In the night in the garden |
| 47 | Sacha Riggs | The new shows are horrible. Bring back more of the old favorites please! |
| 48 | Jo-Ann Maillet | |
| 49 | Laura DOdwell | |
| 50 | Jennifer Heemskerk | Yo Gabba Gabba and In the Night Garden are terrible and I am appalled and disappointed that Treehouse would allow such shows to be aired on the station. As an educator, and mother of 2, these shows have zero educational content and are a waste of time. |
