My little one is 5 and can’t wait for it.
The singing and dancing is what makes it cool for her!
You have to compliment RTE on this regardless of how crap they are the the rest of the year!
@Keith Ryan: I can’t watch it with Tubridy doing it. Even Pat Kenny was better.
I have to disagree with you there, I think Tubridy is doing a great job as the Toy show host.
@John Jobs: anyone one, would compared to pat lol .
@Seán Domhnall O’Sullivan: ^ would
I will indeed. Watching it with my neice. Can’t understand why rte don’t change their schedule so the toy show can air earlier. It’s on too late for children. Time needs to change.
I agree on the time..
Only late late show of the year I would turn on and watch. But come on rte change the time. It’s a toy show for kids and your showing it at time for adults.
It’s repeated Sunday afternoon.
@(((Jason))): agree it’s repeated but children are excited to watch it on the night. Which is understandable.
Surely you have a recording device connected to the television. Use that.
: : Jesus Toddy and Jason. Didn’t know it would upset so many people for questioning the time rte show the toy show for children. Don’t think either of you get the concept that the children like to watch it on the night. They enjoy it . Well aware of recording and repeats. But what’s the big deal in saying it’s on too late for children.
Part of the fun is staying up late to watch it
LITTLEONE stop acting like a brat. People offered you alternatives and you throw your toys out of your pram. Grow up.
Seeaming
Little one was just looking for a reason to slag off RTÉ and it backfired.
Can’t speak for anybody else, but for my kids, staying up late is half the fun. I remember feeling the same when I was a kid. The fact they all be asleep by 10:30 doesn’t matter. They think they will be staying up til midnight and that gets them excited.
Sky plus it and watch the following evening
Wow. The buddies are out in force . Way to go boys . Stick together. Keep being so insulting because I mentioned something like the toy show and time for kids. Wow it’s really worked ye up. Getting all hot and bothered over toy show and time. It’s probably because an earlier time wouldn’t suit ye . You wouldn’t be home from your kids club. Talking about throwing your dummies out. Get a life boys
@LITTLEONE:
HOW I hated the Billy Barry kids there were the most pretentious little s**ts. Will still probably tune in for some length of time.
@ktsiwot: ya the kids love it . Music and dancing. Looking at the toys . Great show for the kids to watch. Start of Christmas season. . Just don’t mention time . Few above very sensitive to even mention time and toy show.
Staying awake for the whole show was the holy grail as a kid! I never managed it!
@Deborah Behan: agree but kids are so excited to watch it on the night. They love it . Honestly don’t know why people got all hot and bothered because I said it’s on bit late and put it on bit earlier so the children can watch it without falling asleep. Wow little did I know that would have upset a few above. Imagine saying a little bit earlier for the children to be able to watch was such an awful thing to day
Say.
Brat
Haha screaming Toddy are you 2? Grow up get a life . Good boy.
“Littleone, you talk sh*te”
Is anyone surprised?
Wonderful retort LITTLEONE. You must have gotten help from a GROWNUP with that one
David. Another little one throwing his dummy out. Are ye all in the same room . Certainly sounds like it . Talk about acting like children. Give yourselves a pat on the back for your informative contribution to the article. Oh that’s right you didn’t. You just decided to comment and act all big and mighty behind your keyboards. Good for you all. Keep up the good fight . #actinglikechildren..
Sounds like some of you could do with your afternoon nap . Your getting all cranky. Don’t want you falling asleep during the toyshow.
Ah it’s hilarious watching some fool going in and out and giving me red thumbs. Someone obviously has a problem. Keep pressing that red thumb, your doing a stellar job. Keep up the work. It’s comical knowing that your actually that vested in it. Haha.
You may be right about the red thumb thing. But that wouldn’t explain the lack of green thumbs supporting you.
@ManOnTheStreet: if you look at my first comments you will see the green thumbs are higher than the red . It’s only the ones that annoyed the boys about the times and then their childish comments like calling someone a brat . My responses got red thumbed. They are pathetic to be honest I am not surprised. I am laughing at them.
I agree, I always fell asleep for it as a kid. Yes, it was recorded and repeated but it still sucked not being able to watch it all live.
Yeah, tbf, they jumped all over you for having a very reasonable opinion. I don’t think it should be on earlier, but don’t see anything wrong with some people preferring an earlier showing. But still don’t think there is a red thumb conspiracy either. Lol.
Ignore green/red thumbs.
Jammin showed a long time ago you can manipulate thumbs. Something to do with cookies – don’t remember the details.
@ManOnTheStreet: yet somehow my comment below yours got more red thumbs than you did green. Sure no conspiracy there. It’s blatant obvious. Honestly don’t know why they are so upset and acting they way they are just for saying. Put toyshow on bit earlier so kids can watch it without falling asleep before it’s over. Unbelievable how ridiculous some people are.
It’s the “late late” toy show not the “early evening because children nowadays aren’t allowed to stay up past 11″ toy show. It’s all a bit of craic staying up late anyways
What are you like? It’s called the Late Late show, did you never notice that?
You’d get more information in the Argos catalogue
Back in my day it was the Family Album catalogue…at least it had the lingerie pages for the lads.
You missed out on the littlewoods catalogue so
I could never see those pages in my house someone used to always stick them together for some reason
It’s just that Tubridy is a bit of a pryck. He looks like a solicitor in a Christmas jumper and talks that bell end in school who always had the answer in the book.
@Killian O’Hara:
@Killian O’Hara:he is no entertainer has no business being on the box. Why have it at 930, my kids will be in bed.
Don’t put them to bed so early. Break the rules every now and then.
I’d rather superglue my eyes open and dip my face into a bucket of lemon juice than watch that shytehawk pretending to give the slightest of fluchs about what little Lorcan from Foxrock thinks of his ‘lil lawyer play set with genuine notary stamp
@Dubabroad: Lets all see how we can cheer Ebenezer Scrooge up people….
Don’t watch RTE …. I prefer unbiased stations
So click “no interest/opinion” and keep it moving.
Good man Eamonn. Thanks for letting us all know. What are the unbiased stations?
@Screaming Toddy: I suspect “unbiased” may be code for “people who tell me what I have already predetermined is the truth”.
Yeah, couldn’t have tubs brainwashing our kids with his biased views. Jaysus, chill out will ya. It’s a show about toys and a bit of a song and dance.
Didnt they have this same survey a week or two ago?
No wonder we’re such a failed corrupt country, when adults get more excited about a children’s TV programme than they do about things like NAMA or Garda corruption.
Does nama and garda corruption excite you?
Heaven forbid that people can’t enjoy themselves at home. You’re some misery Eamon.
Defo want you at my next birthday party Eamon
Always that one clown that thinks he is so enlightened and better than all the other sheep. The kinda person that people hate seeing coming. Minus craic.
@Eamon Mac Gowan: Hmmm I attended some of the water protests and pay close attention to the politics of the country. Does this mean I shouldn’t watch, or dare i say it, enjoy the Toy Show from an ideological standpoint?
@ManOnTheStreet: *crack
Can’t stand it but hate that skinny w$nker more.
Watch Tubridy patronise children in a poor attempt to entertain? Hmm no thanks.
This is just glorified product placement dressed up with a few dancing and singing kids !
@Mrs M: Duff Beer for me. Duff Beer for you. I’ll have a Duff, you have one too.
Will record it for the kids. Not wasting the Friday night on Turdbridy..
Just watch how Tubrity treats the kids. He’s just terrible.
Not just watching it, will be attending it!!!!!!!!! Extremely excited to get the call on Wednesday that we got tickets, 3rd time lucky
I think it terrible it puts undue pressure on parents to buy the toys there kids see..
@OCallaghan TP: then don’t show the kids the toy show
NO.
Why would I want to spend my evening watching annoting middle class Dublin 4 kids perpetuating class division by spending money on expensive presents while kids from lower socio economic groups look on in envy?
DISGUSTING abuse of the license fee money.
we put the tree up while watching it.
FFS !
We sit at home with a sour grin whilst everyone in the audience gets rewarded things we wouldn’t mind. Waiting patiently for the next awkward.
I’m recording it. I’m too invested in I’m a celebrity to miss it. I’ll watch it tomorrow.
@Peter Cavey: I hope that’s a joke… I know people for miles and not one of them has time for that garbage.
It’s my guilty pleasure
Loads of BAH HUMBUG red thumbs on this one. Merry Christmas to you all……
Saw a little pre-Toy show programme last night where judges and Tubs went to Cork, Galway and Dundalk. It was just like watching X-Factor, but I’m not talking about the way they were judging or choosing the kids. I’m talking about the way it was all about Tubs. The camera seemed to be more on and about him than the children. Puke television.
I’ll be working :)
Lucky you.
Can’t believe Tubridy got to ride a Rose of Tralee. .
No it’s my Christmas party *sobs into pillow*.
@Deborah Behan: You are not the only one in that boat Debs
I might take a look after the rugby
It’s years since I watched it, used to love it as it was the one night of the year when we were allowed to stay up late. Tonight I’m watching with my Mum while we share a bottle of Chardonnay.
I’ll watch it with my kids, but I can already see the cringe it will be.
@niall: A big advert for children to ask Santa for toys Santa can’t afford…
…..You know I know it’s a nice tradition, but this really is just a taxpayer funded showreel of product placement.
No but I will watch the Late Late Sex Toy show instead ;)
The Late Late Toy Show.
Ryan Tubs kids.
This years musts, a nodding dog with Hillary Clintons head and a Donald Trump cusion that grabs your kitty if you sit on it ?
Will dee forbes?
To many Culchie brats on it on to late for jasus sake
Depends if mum lets me stay up.
have your say
