Children's shows you actually enjoyed
First off, just so everyone knows,Christine L'Heureux the creator of Caillou still walks around free. There have been no repercussions for the abomination that she created. It's the least enjoyable show with the most annoying kid of all time.
My children came of age in the heyday of Barney. And I wanted to avoid that crapulence, so I purchased DVDs of old Scooby-Doo episode and showed those to my children all the time. And I would over-laugh at all of the antics and jokes. They were too young to get the humor, but I persisted in this and sold the jokes. Eventually they started to laugh and this became our daily ritual.
And make no mistake, I employed television to raise my children. There are people who choose to interact with their children and actually do things with them. That wasn't me. I used television to parent them. After they get out of prison and/or counseling, I'll query them on their thoughts about my strategy and pass it on. But they were influenced by their friends and sometimes their mother would show them regular shows on television. This is my list of the ones that I actually enjoyed watching with them growing up. If you liked Caillou, then go to hell. It sucked and it's indefensible. Otherwise share the shows that you liked.
1. Arthur- I found this show to be absolutely delightful. There were other shows on PBS that I could stomach, but I legitimately liked watching Arthur. Especially the episodes where his baby sister and the dog were talking.
2. Word girl- I sneaky like this show. I thought it was pretty funny and entertaining.
3. Avatar the Last Airbenber- This was really well made and entertaining. My son is really into anime now, and this show was his gateway. My favorite on the list.
4. Gravity Falls- Just a really funny and well made show with a great storyline.
5. iCarly- by far the best of the tween shows we watched. It was legitimately funny television.
