Banned shows and approved shows (for young children)
Banned shows and approved shows (for young children)
Also, why?
Banned shows:
- Paw Patrol - Seems soulless, I haven't watched much, but there seems something very wrong about it. Intuitively, I feel like my kid shouldn't watch it (though, I can could be convinced I'm wrong, if I am)
- Cocomelon - objectively soulless - don't try to convince me that this show is anything but toddler crack.
Approved:
- Sesame Street
- Bluey
Both of the above shows seem to me like they are made with care and have the best interests to teaching children good morals and language skills.

I used to be anti-paw patrol but I've softened on that over time. It's a bit soulless, but it's not too bad. my daughter loves the catchphrases and frankly, the repetitiveness is part of the fun for her.
Show that I have loved:
super simple songs - aimed at cocomelon-age but it's got a very high quality production, really lovely varying different video styles, much better music and songs, and in general much better everything. would recommend it over cocomelon any day.
mr men - there's a 'newer' version of the show which is really quite good
pink panther - the old shows hold up surprisingly well but there's a set of newer cartoons that are great fun too
spidey and amazing friends - my daughter is now the biggest spiderman fan because of it and i've found she also enjoys watching clips from the MCU/spiderverse films with me because of it. 10/10 recommended.
om nom & stories - bit weird how i remember this as the 'cut the rope game character' but as far as animation goes it's really high quality.
super wings - relaly high quality animated show. like absurdly well rendered and exciting.
airport diaries - as an adult, it's a bit odd. the stories are like half-formed and the animation and everything a bit janky. but my daughter is obsessed by talking planes at an airport so she loves it and i guess that's what matters.
i'm sure there's more but that's a solid list.
I have no problem with paw patrol. Silly situations and the movies are fun too . Spidey and friends is very cute too . Lately my 6 year old wants to watch random Minecraft creators I just make sure he stays away from the weird side of YouTube.
yeah, i get that worry. there’s a lot of great stuff for all ages on youtube but lately the ads feel increasingly active and punishing.
I have YouTube premium so he Nevers sees an ad . I raised him to hate ads just like me . For me it's the weird content where they sexualize characters from kids shows . He have them constantly in danger of dying .you can search anything kids related and scroll down slightly and get the weirdest stuff
lord almighty that's insane. yeah i'm so glad i've never come across that before!
