Dd loves Max and Ruby too. Oswald is also one of her faves.

PBS Kids and Noggin are great networks for kiddos, in between shows they have little educational shorts.

Sesame Street. I am extremely picky about what my kids watch, so everything approved is DVRed. Sesame Street, Curious George, mostly PBS. Older Blue's Clues (they are great with counting and colors).

Not evil, just... I dunno, maybe I'm hyper sensitive about my kids not watching "garbage" because between homeschooling and working from home I don't want to fall into the trap of using the TV as a babysitter.
Of course by only letting them watch 'educational' stuff, I'm prob depriving them of the Goonies and the Ren & Stimpy of their generation.
