Paw Patrol - Seems soulless, I haven’t watched much, but there seems something very wrong about it. Intuitively, I feel like my kid shouldn’t watch it (though, I can could be convinced I’m wrong, if I am)
Cocomelon - objectively soulless - don’t try to convince me that this show is anything but toddler crack.
Approved:
Sesame Street

Both of the above shows seem to me like they are made with care and have the best interests to teaching children good morals and language skills.
Two year old, she hasn’t watched Paw Patrol but oddly enough she has a golden book with three Paw Patrol stories in it. I hate reading it and she gets bored of it easily but still like to go back to it for whatever reason-- I’ve come to spice things to by reading it with overly dramatic voice and pacing (with dramatic… Pauses). She tends to prefer books, so I’m lucky.
I haven’t had to ban anything, but she mostly likes kids songs (e.g. Simple Songs). My mom likes to show her Ukrainian show Masha and the Bear, and since my kids half Japanese, we often do a show called Shinapushu. All on YouTube.
But, I even have her around when I’m watching stuff I want to watch, like Last Week Tonight. She repeats the occasional swear word but I’m pretty indifferent about that, I’m much more worried about her shouting “Clock” because she doesn’t pronounce the “l” and has a tendency to point and shout it excitedly. I often have to quickly say, loudly, “yes V, it’s a CLOCK.”
