I thought a British show called Fireman Sam was really good for young kids (3-5). It was all done with stop action, with a lot of humor and charm. The new series with computer generated animation seems to be aimed at an older audience with some more violence - it’s jumped the shark IMHO. And unfortunately most of the Fireman Sam episodes on YouTube seem to be from an older stop-action series that was more primitive. If you can find them the good ones are the 2003-2005 series.

Yes. We have seen Fireman Sam. He did enjoy that show.

Rory the Racing Car is another that, at first was too busy, but now he enjoys. It has the sam look and style of Fireman Sam.
Pengu is a Gumby style claymation that is good too.
Then we have found Pocoyo on YouTube. It’s great computer 3D fun.
Caillou is one that he has latched onto that seems to retain it’s charm for some reason. I guess because it’s about a little boy so he identifies with it. There are a ton of episodes for it on the net. It’s old school animation.
OH. And of course Thomas the Train. He’s a die hard fan of all it’s incarnations.
