So children's TV is usually annoying and naff except...

Bluey! I actually do love this show. It's funny, informative (to kids obviously) and even tugs on the heart strings. Most importantly, it's not annoying.

The episode where Bluey dreams about becoming a fruit bat has VERY annoying music, though...
I like her parents, though. Some good examples of simple, sound parental interaction that a lot of people could do with seeing rather than just chucking a tablet at their kids.

No idea about Bluey, but when we looked after our then 2 y.o. great-niece every Tuesday, Peppa Pig amused me just as much as her.
She’s 9 this week and came round to collect her birthday gift.
I said, “Shall I check to see if there are any Peppa Pig episodes still on the planner?”
She said, “Uncle Jean, what ARE you like?”

Hey Duggee, our twins love it and more often than not I am laughing at it. Great little kids shows.

"I slipped on ma beans!"

I don't actually have a child young enough for Bluey any more, but I have a niece who is, and we were subjected to a few episodes while on a family holiday. I did genuinely enjoy the 'grannies' episodes. If only because the actual granny who was present on the holiday was enjoying being grumpy about Bluey and Bingos depiction of her generation.

Would that not be 'Hey Dowie'...?
