advances in children's shows

When I was little (yes I realize I am going to date myself here) Sesame street was pretty much it for educational t.v shows for young children. Now we have shows coming out our ears! I thought I would tell you my favorite and why
Backyardigans - I love the use of music and classic dance steps. It is not overly condescending which is also a huge plus.
Little Einsteins - Again I love the use of music and the good social behavior trait they try to portray.
Nihoa KaiLan - I love the exposure to a different language that isn't Spanish. It also help to reinforce good social behavior traits.
Go Diego Go - explores the world of animal life and children learn interesting life science facts. They also get exposure to Spanish.
Special agent Oso - Teaches ordinal sequencing.
My least favorites are Wow wow Wubsy, Barney, Yo Gabba Gabba, Imagination movers,& Sesame street(shocking, I know). Most of these I find very condescending and annoying.
Coming later a list of my favorite children's movies.
