Daniel Cook

[tiggerzpalz]

We actually don't like either. Neither of my DS's liked the Daniel Cook show and they don't bother with Emily either. Actaully I wish they would update a few of their shorts. If we have to listen to that good night song (not sure of the name) where he sleeps for the first time in is own bed I might scream. But we love the Dan Zane's House Party.

Funny that it seems those with girls didn't like him yet the majority of those with boys do? I have 2 little guys and I find him rather annoying but my boys like him. I have not seen the new "girl" yet. We'll have to watch for her!

Has nothing to do with that. I have DS9, DD7, & DD20 mo. My DS would get on my nerves as well if he acted like him.
DD20 mo. loves the DoodleBops though - OMG, I would love to run my head into a wall when they come on.

Does anyone else just love this kid? Both my kids love his little shows.
Yesterday we saw Ashley Young and they were both mad. All morning they were saying "where is Daniel Cook and why is there a new girl?" She's cute too, but my kids enjoy learing from Daniel. I hope Disney renewed his contract.

This is Daniel Cook, This is Emily Yeung are Canadian productions that are made for Public television in Canada partly funded by the government. So while you may have been seeing Daniel the last couple of years, we have had him around for awhile. He has even interviewed our current prime minister when he was campaigning. Asked some great questions. He is now too old to show young children their perspective on things.

I asume that Disney has purchased the rights to this show for the US market. I am sure that Disney has some say in the production, but not much. They have to keep the show Canadian for the government grants.

Daniel Cook and the Doodlebops and that Life w/ Derek show have to be the most annoying Canadian exports ever. I don't know what caused Disney to acquire them. Maybe the D in all the names?

Send more Molson and poutine!

I love Dan Zanes! I want a CD for myself.

DD has CD & DVD of Ralph's World, she really likes it.

I have to agree about Daniel Cook being annoying! No one here in our house really pays him much attention. Though somedays I CANNOT get that silly song out of my head!!
We just love Dan Zane!!!!! Does anyone remember him from Sesame Street? He had little song bits on there also!!!

 

[kribit]

Wow, I didn't realize Daniel Cook was a Canadian show. I knew the Doodlebops were (now THAT is an annoying show).

Dan Zanes is the BEST...we're planning on seeing him in concert. Anyone (who was a teen in the 80's) remember the Del Fuegos? They were even a bit before me (I'm 34), but he was the lead singer. Now he does children's music. My kids favorite is "All Around the Kitchen." So cute!!!

We also don't care for Daniel Cook. I dislike how he his almost condenscending to the adults he does his programs with. We always turn the channel when his show comes on.

"This is Daniel Cook on a bike on a plane, on a farm playing games...."

Stop the Madness!

You don't like Daniel Cook? He's a child, for goodness sake. You people are harsh. We like Daniel and the new girl!

LOL I wondered how long it would take for someone to tell us to stop It isn't being harsh it is being honest!

 

[properlywarnedyebe]

I don't blame him, I blame the creators of the show and his parents! He is a child and he is acting the way he should, but it was the theme song and segments that drove me nuts.

 

[jennifer293]

I freaking HATE that SHOW!!!! and it has one of those intro songs that sticks in your head alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll day long!!!

I'm always unnerved by children who are more mature then I am.

We vote "no" on Daniel.

Add us to the "Can't stand Daniel Cook" group!! But I wouldn't call him mature by any means!!! He never pays attention to what the people are trying to teach him, always interrupts when they are talking, and generally, is just very annoying!! I've seen only 1 of Emily's shows and thought she was ok, at least she asked good questions and paid attention.

As for the Dan Zanes fans...LOVE HIM TOO! We saw him last year at MGM (DD's first concert!) and it was the best show!! Everyone was dancing and singing - it was great!! He signed autographs after the show too. I'd love to see Ralph's World too, his music is so fun!

 

[Hoopfamily]

We all love Daniel Cook at our house, I personally can't stand Emily Yeung she's a poor replacement. Although my wife and 3 yo daughter like her.

That's why I hate the commercials for Welch's grape juice! They exploit kids with large vocabularies and lisps. How does that make me want to drink the juice?

 

[mariolatry]

Personally, I've never like the little bugger. He's always interrupting the guests on his show and he's an insufferable know-it-all.

 

[mantysk8coach]

OMG I am so relieved not to be the only one who is a bit irritated by him!

What jumps out at me the most is how he rarely makes eye contact with neither his guest nor the camera. He is kind of just staring off into space.

He is really serious too. I could maybe tolerate him more if he'd just be allowed to loosen up and be a kid!
