We ban peppa pig as it poem treats the dad as stupid.

Paw patrok, we allow but it’s propaganda, however mostly the message for kids is good. Bravery, coooerarion, environment.

Bluey is a favorite for kids and adults.

Gravity falls, owl house and Steven universe are fun and inckusive but the kids aren’t mad for them.

When okder, avatar and ninjago are fine but as others said, they portray viokence.

Hey duggie is good for little kids rather than cocomelon. Come to think of it most of the bbc stuff is good.

Action pack is an ok intro to super heroes without much violence.

Lego city is pretty good once they get to older toddler. No real violence and there is humour that both kids and parents can enjoy.

Until around age 7 at minimum i’d avoid Lego ninja and Lego dreams. Both have direct violence from one living creature to another.

One show that we always encouraged our kids (especially our youngest, who just couldn’t get enough) to watch was Number Blocks. Honestly I feel like that show is the number 1 reason he does so well in math today.

My kids are much older now, but we always supported them watching Dinosaur Train, in which the clearly independently wealthy Pteranodon family with their adopted son (a t-rex) go on a mysteriously large number of vacations via a maybe-magical train to visit other dinosaurs in various climates and time periods.

We also liked PBS’s Word Girl, which mixes superpowers and grammar with kind of a Rocky and Bullwinkle style humor.

We loathed Octonauts and especially Littlest Pet Shop, both of which, sadly, my kids really enjoyed.

My kids are older now but when they were young they liked:

Puffin Rock (Netflix in the US) - wholesome, family looking out for each other

Sarah and Duck (Amazon) - super low conflict, cute, very mild

Octonauts (Netflix I think?) - science-y adventure

We tried to get them into various PBS shows also. Daniel Tiger was okay, but now Bluey puts it to shame. They liked Dora for a while. We liked Molly of Denali but my husband is from Alaska so he had a soft spot for it. The older PBS shows are extremely formulaic which is attractive for a toddler but not for the parents.

We didn’t get Paw Patrol but it was kind of the forbidden fruit because of that, and whenever we were on vacation and the tv had cable, they wanted to watch it. But they also realized pretty fast that it was kind of boring. We stayed away from Peppa and Calliou because of what I’d read on Reddit.

This makes it sound like my kids watched a lot of tv! Probably too much to be honest but not as much as I’m making it sound.

Two year old, she hasn’t watched Paw Patrol but oddly enough she has a golden book with three Paw Patrol stories in it. I hate reading it and she gets bored of it easily but still like to go back to it for whatever reason-- I’ve come to spice things to by reading it with overly dramatic voice and pacing (with dramatic… Pauses). She tends to prefer books, so I’m lucky.

I haven’t had to ban anything, but she mostly likes kids songs (e.g. Simple Songs). My mom likes to show her Ukrainian show Masha and the Bear, and since my kids half Japanese, we often do a show called Shinapushu. All on YouTube.

But, I even have her around when I’m watching stuff I want to watch, like Last Week Tonight. She repeats the occasional swear word but I’m pretty indifferent about that, I’m much more worried about her shouting “Clock” because she doesn’t pronounce the “l” and has a tendency to point and shout it excitedly. I often have to quickly say, loudly, “yes V, it’s a CLOCK.”

Banned: agree with your list, also Peppa pig (except if we’re on holiday somewhere) because it’s absolutely dire, and Bing (everywhere), because I can’t stand him.

Approved: Bluey, Gravity Falls, Sarah & Duck, Abney & Teal… most of CBeebies tbh.

I’m ok with them watching Adventure Time, but my wife is not, so that falls under both lists maybe
