The Fresh Beat BandMy wife and I pulled the plug on this one ourselves.I’m also leaving out the shows that I wrote for during this time: W.I.T.C.H. and Young Justice.īut enough preamble. Two more housekeeping notes: I wavered about whether to include true prime-time shows that my kids have watched regularly - such as The Simpsons, Modern Family, Stranger Things and The Good Place, ultimately deciding against it. (I’d love to hear your thoughts on what’s missing, as well as what’s misplaced.) So though the list is plenty long, it isn’t complete. So much about appreciating children’s shows is about timing - if it’s the right show at the right moment, it can end up outranking a better show that comes at the wrong moment.Īnd as much as we did watch in our household, we didn’t see everything - surely, we watched too much as it is.

Comparing a show aimed at teenagers with a show aim at toddlers is fraught with apples-and-oranges peril.
