3. Spongebob Squarepants
This show is good for kids and adults alike. Spongebob’s crazy Bikini Bottom adventures never seem to get old. It has enough sillyness and wild colors to keep the kids mesmerized, but it’s also go some pretty great jokes for the grow up types too.
2. Dora the Explorer
Kids love this show, and it’s a good thing because it’s super educational. It follows Dora and her forest companions as they have adventures, solve puzzles, and speak Spanish along the way. If you don’t like your kid watching junk television, then go ahead and consider this show an oasis in the dessert because it’s probably the most beneficial show in a kid’s daily television lineup.
1. Yo Gabba Gabba
To me this show is what I imagine taking hallucinogenic drugs to be like, but don’t let me scare you away with that. All I mean by that is that the only thing weirder than the characters and the multitude of colors is the crazy songs and dance numbers they do. This show will also hypnotize you as an adult so don’t worry about your kid not taking to it immediately. It’s a wholesome dose of repetitive dance type songs that teach your kids along the way. Watch this with your kid once and I guarantee the next time it’s on you stop what you’re doing and watch too.
There have been tons of kids shows over the decades from the Flintstones to the Jetsons and Blue Clues just to name a few, but here is the top shelf of the modern selection. Is there anything particularly amazing that I left off of this list?
