My daughter is 2 plus a couple months. She absolutely loves Paw Patrol (thank God for DVR) and as of last Sunday, Frozen (Watched it during the snow Sunday, and has asked to watch it each day since).

Also has watched some of the following but not in near the quantity

Puppy Dog Pals
Tots
Bubble Guppies
Bluey (my favorite)
Oomi Zoomi (my least favorite)


My question is this. Are there any good ones for her to watch that I don't have listed and won't drive me crazy?

Bluey's the only one I've found with my daughter that I actually enjoy as well.

Stay far away from PikWik Pak. You'll want to put a bullet through the TV.

Look, you're going to get a lot of answers on this thread. Many of them will probably be great suggestions and spot on.

IF, on the off chance, somebody (for whatever ungodly reason) recommends "Caillou", DO NOT, under any circumstances heed that advice. Fortunately it was cancelled recently, but there's enough of a backlog out there to keep it in syndication for years. Seriously, as a father of two young daughters, I'm shooting you straight.
Never, EVER entertain the idea.

When my daughter was about that age, I would sit with her to watch Disney princess movies like Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, or Cinderella. This would be part of my time with her after I'd get home from work, and I was damn sure not going to put something on that would make me want to murder the TV.

Enjoy this time while she's this young, because eventually she'll start liking stuff that might make you question your parenting. (Well, at least in my case ...)

Newish Dad here, thanks for this thread!

Mines too young to understand more than that the TV is a light and noise box, but I did put on the Lego Star Wars Holiday special on Disney+ and that seems like a fit.

Maybe others can chime in on the other Lego animation out there.

My personal favorite is the newer Mickey cartoons they have on Disney +. They're based in different countries around the world and I always liked watching them with them. 8 minutes long each.

Waaaayyyyy better than paw patrol and bubble guppies. Stupid idiot paw patrol mayor and hoser kid.

Don't limit yourself to channels and networks. There is a TON of content on youtube which most tvs can now stream.

My kids liked the content from Mother Goose Club and Little Baby Bum but YMMV so find what your kid likes.

Just don't actually give them a tablet or your phone or else pandora's box will open and you not be able to close it.

Also, check out the PBS content like Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, Curious George, etc.

Netflix and Hulu have really stepped up their small kid content.

Your kid may be too young yet but there is a fun series out there called Masha and the Bear.

Regardless. Let her sit on your lap, snuggle, and watch something with you.

Sooner than later she'll want to be locked in her room and hate your guts.

My 2.5 year old loves Blue's Clues, Daniel Tiger, Sesame Street and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. For movies, we've watched Frozen (1&2) and all the Toy Story movies a gazillion times.

My 3yr old daughter LOVES Peppa Pig and Bluey. Those are good hearted and not insufferable like that bald-headed Canadian child.

Our 2.5 likes the classic movies Bambi, Robin Hood, Lion King, Jungle Book, Aladdin, Aristocats, 101 Dalmatians.

Something to consider, because we didn't, in Toy Story they like to use "shut up" quite a bit. It took a long while to break our 2 and 4 year olds from that habit. Some of the others like Cars, Incredibles, newer Disney movies they just didn't care for or are meant for kids who can follow a story closer and longer.

The boys love PBS though. Daniel Tiger, Mollie of Denali, Wild Kratts, Nature Cat, Elinor Wonders Why. All programs short enough we can talk about what they learned or saw fairly easily.

Probably more for a kid who's a little older but Boss Baby on Netflix is a decent one to check out. We Bare Bears on HBO Max is really funny, I don't know that it's made for kids, but it's in the kid's section.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Paw Patrol isn't bad, and she is obsessed with it (Carries her stuffed Chase, Rubble, Skye, and Marshall with her everywhere) but it being played on repeat can get grinding. And Mayor Humdinger's voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

I was actually relieved when she started wanting to watch Frozen just for a change up, but if it becomes daily it's really going to also get played out.

I'll check out the new suggestions and try to push Bluey more.

My oldest was 4 when frozen came out.
This lady was pretty much me after that:

Have you tried the BabyFirst channel? Lots of different options there (Notekins, Larry and Harry, etc) that seem to interest toddlers.

No way! Peppa Pig is hilarious and has lots of jokes for adults.

I got my kids watching some classics - Wyle E./Roadrunner, Tom/Jerry.

Two shows that have no dialogue, but actually have me chuckle some
sunny bunnies (occasionally chuckle) it has a wolf that goes after the bunnies similar to Wyle E
larva island.. oh my god if I'm drinking, I'm non stop laughing at these two dang larvas.


Then the comedy gold of children entertainment, Uncle Grandpa.

My childless twenty-something year old found this for us:
Peppa Pig Official Channel | Whistling Competition Between Peppa Pig and Suzy Sheep - Bing video
Best. Episode. Ever.
You can watch the whole thing for context or fast-forward to 2:42

If your kid likes Paw Patrol, they have a Paw Patrol Live that travels around. My kids loved it, basically recreates an episode of the show in theater form.

Shows that mine liked and I could put up with:
Paw Patrol
Daniel Tiger
Dinosaur Train
Wild Kratts
Bubble Guppies
PJ Masks
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
Spirit

They have found a show called Dino Dana on their tablets lately but I haven't been forced to watch it so cannot confirm if it's adult friendly enough.

This channel has a show called "BabyFirst Club."

Almost every time I scroll past it on the guide my mind auto-(in)corrects it to "BabyFight Club" and I'm like "Wait, wut?"
