Recently Nick Jr did some programming changes and its not very likely for any parent to sit and watch a "mommy" show where you hear foul language. Going from a rated G programming channel to a pg-13 is unacceptable. My son has been falling asleep crying because there is no longer any shows for him to watch at night. We usually set the channel on Nick Jr for him to watch and to fall asleep to. Now its nothing but "mommy" programming that is the least interesting to myself or to my husband. Pls reconsider in changing it back to the shows my son and im sure, 100's of children miss!

I completely disagree with the program changes that I was unaware of on nick jr, when my son was not feeling well and he came to me and said "mommy there is a bad show on " I didn't believe him because the channel was on nick jr but when I went into his room and found mommy talk about breast and etc. I was very upset. I am just trying to figure out why the programming has changed because like the parent above has said it's not just her but parents like myself that do not depend on television to entertain my child but every once in a while I do allow them to look at it, so I would like to know when will these programs be taken off nick jr and back to what was on there before.

I am extremely upset to find PARENTAL DISCRETION on NICK JR tonight. I was not aware of ANY programming changes. I watched it for maybe 3 minutes and it bleeped out a cuss word and said boobies. Something needs to change ASAP. I have emailed Nick Jr. I got an automated response saying they receive too many emails to respond to any of them. I will dig further into contacting someone. I have already spoke with my satellite provider. If anyone knows of any other ways to contact someone, please comment.

I and my family are truly disappointed by the new programming choices on Nic Jr. My 2 year old and I would watch the programming throughout the night sometimes. But now, this Nic mom stuff is just horrible! I definitely don't need help in finding programs to watch for me, but for my young children, it's a different story. And this programing for moms comes on very early, my 10 year old walked past my room hearing the lady on Mom bff or whatever remark that she loves her kids bit doesn't like them sometimes and the other says she didn't even want kids, now while I understand the intent to be humorous, this is the first thing to come on after the kids shows? Really? They aren't even very good, but after all of that crap goes off the station stops programing and we have to wait until tomorrow. I enjoyed the educational inserts between the shows and was glad my older children would watch with their younger siblings, but I guess some meeting took place where profit was placed over quality since the commercials started getting ramped up right when the horrible Nick Mom garbage did. I hope you reconsider though.

As a mother my self the person above obliviously has no children or just lets their kids watch wat ever. I agree this nick mom show should be canceled my kids don't watch cartoons all time i read to them and through out the day they have activities outside but recently my little boy had his leg put in cast he gets around slowly and has been inside more and cant sleep at night so when i put on nick jr for him this nick mom shows on and that he will not watch they don't even bleep out the words such as [censored] excuse my language. So now he has watch same movies over and over and i really feel for parents who have children with illness or just have night day mixed they shouldn't have to go with out shows especially if in hospital when that's the only cartoon show they can watch i say all us mothers and fathers should figure out together to get this show off and women on this show should be ashamed to even say they are parents. Take this show off for all these children please

Nobody has the right to shame parents for letting their kids watch tv at night, no its not always the best decision to be made but sometimes you do what you have to do. Everyone has their reason so stop acting high and mighty.I don't know of any kids that have turned out "bad" because their parents let them fall asleep to cartoons it happens and that's real life.The real issue is this kinda programming has NO business on nick jr and parents should be able to count on nick to be safe.When my kids were much younger we had plenty of sleepless nights of not feeling good or bad dreams and it helped when there was nick jr to turn on late at night yes I was one that used tv now and then and my kids are still ok actually their awesome !

THIS PARENTAL DISCRETION SHOW SHOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT BE ON NICK JR. THIS IS A CHANNEL FOR KIDS TO WATCH. IF THIS SHOW WANTS TO RUN PUT IT ON THE ADULT SWIM CHANNEL FOR AND OLDER AGE GROUP. I READ ONE COMMENT ABOUT OUR CHILDHOOD WATCHING THE COSBY'S, LUCY, HAPPY DAYS ETC. THAT WAS TV SHOWS NOT STAND UP COMEDY. THIS SHOW IS ABSOLUTELY NOT FUNNY AND IS NOT FOR YOUNG CHILDREN. I GUESS THEY HAVE TO TRY STAND UP COMEDY ON A KIDS CHANNEL BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT FUNNY ENOUGH TO BROADCAST ON CHANNELS WATCHED MAINLY BY ADULTS, THEY DEFINITELY WOULD NOT MAKE IT. THE WORLDS BAD ENOUGH SO LET OUR CHILDREN AT LEAST ENJOY THE CARTOONS AND NOT PARENTS THAT HAVE NO LIFE. NICK JR RUNNING A SHOW WITH ADULTS DRINKING FOR KIDS TO WATCH WOW!

Hey there tasha12 some kids have problems going to sleep so don't get your spin off blaming parents about kids being up late. You probably don't even have kids or if you do maybe you should get parent of the year award. (not)! Every child is different in many different ways. This should not be about blaming parents this is about adult shows on children channels. Hell you might as well put this show on the christian channels too, would be the same thing. Nick jr please remove this show from this channel.
