TVP axes Dobranocka

Dobranocka, the nighty-nighty cartoon show for kiddies that has been around as long as Polish TV has been axed by TV boss Jukliusz Braun. The 7 PM show ended at 7,30 when the main evening news bulletin went on and kids were supposed to be sent off to bed. Braun argues that kids account for only 10% of the viewership. Which cartoons do you know and liked the best:

Bolek i Lolek,
Piaskowy Dziadek
Pomysłowy Dobromir
Pszczółka Maja
Pies Reksio
Jacek i Agata (the first Dobranocka -- a puppet show)

Reksio lastusie krecik bolek i lolek rules!!!

RIP... Nothing lasts forever - not even Dobranocka ;-)

......Wait, you make your kids watch then news and then send them to bed at 7.30 pm?
Jebus, I bet you get great presents for Father's Day :P

Lol smurf, if his kids are three, in ur opinion should they later and watch war/ horror movies. Polonius u r a great dad ;-)

forgot about that years ago... my kids certainly never watched it... cartoon network took care of that.

I used to watch it.. Hey polonius where is mis z oklapnietym uszkie Oo

Also 'Pora na Telesfora'. The host was actor Pan Zygmunt Kęstowicz, and Telsfor was a puppet dragon. Years ago he caused a scandal. When the programme was ending he started bidding the kochane dzieci farewell, good night, sleep tight, bla, bla, and then, when he thought the mike had been switched off, he added: A teraz kochane dzieci możecie mnie w d*pę pocałować. Gomułka was furious!

A similar incident once occurred in America. When the show was over the host said under his breath (again thinkign he was not on air anymore): That should hold the little bastards for tonight!

Anyone know of any other such bloopers?

there are loads upon loads of those.

Know any? As a kid I once got as a gift a set of records titled 'Pardon my Blooper'. I still remembers a few:
A drunken-sounding British radio presenter: And now we take you to the bathroom at Pump... er, um, I mean the pumproom at Bath.
Another was a census-taker who was told the family comprised: three children, one adult and one adultress.

How anyone can tolerate more than a hour of cartoon network, I really don't know. A cacophony grunts, groans and appalling language and afterwards the kids want to go outside and beat each other round the head with plastic swords or anything else that comes to hand.

If I had the final say, I would ban it and encourage the children to watch programmes that teach them how to make things so they don't become over educated and incapable of doing anything. I don't so I seethe quietly to myself and wait for the next shopping trip, when they spot something Ben 10 and profess their absolute need for such an item. When asked what said item is and does, it's often followed with "er er er er but it's really good". Damned good marketing is what it is.

I miss Valerie John and Peter; not forgetting Shep.

Anyone that watched Blue Peter was prob some geek that was into the scouts or YMCA. Not one of the kool kidz anyways :P

I'd rather my kids used their imagination and watched cartoons like Samuri Jack or Batman that muck like BP.


Certainly not the shaggin news anyway.
Why are they even watchin tv, they should be playing at that age :P

That's entertaining. Where does there imagination come into that one then? It's all the markettng departments and the stories being told to them by someone else. Keeps them quiet for a while and you don't need to put any effort in do you.

My kids had DVDs, played MMOs very little Disney channel or CTN exposure until they were older.
They were mostly out with me at the beach(tho I personally hate it), sailing on the little mini-sloop I used to have, on the bike trails, camping or snowboarding. Plus both were in ballet and TKD.

They actually were not interested in their age appropriate programs, they thought them boring or dumb and I wouldn't allow them a lot of anime til they were 8 (since both learned Japanese just to watch them, I caved)

So now that they have done this, what do kids have to watch as children's programs now?

It is utter crap. Personally, I like the simplicity of the dobranocka cartoons. They actually have collectors figurines of all those characters. We have Bolek i Lolek.

I have two girls and they watch pre teen disney shows, they are done with cartoons unless it is Phineus and Ferb. But they don't watch violent or aggressive style cartoons......I think that is more for boys really.

Many other things. It's just a programme that was a bit of an institution - but there is still plenty of children's programming available.

Lippy and Messy was very, very, very well done as well.

Polish kids can now watch a bunch of foreign crap. Yet another of Poland's iconic institutions has bitten the dust. Long live globalism! (Not!)

On condition you have cable or satellite. I suppose millions of households still haven`t. Depriving those kids of evening programme is unfair.

obviously you've never watch Samuri Jack :P

In DVB-T you have eg. Puls 2. And there will be one more channel for children.

who is responsible for globalism exactly? let's see. it is cartoon network, disney and all the other shiite the kids are now watching.....where does this come from? I already know the answer so don't bother.
