What TV programmes do your DCs age 3 - 5 enjoy?

[Othersideofthechannel]

We live in France and DCs don't watch TV just English language DVDs. We have Balamory, Fimbles, Thomas the Tank Engine, Maisy and Kipper.

Thinking about buying them something with episodes (as opposed to feature length movie) stuff for older children but don't know what is popular with this agegroup.

DD is 3. DS is almost 5. What would you recommend?

LaztyTown is a big favorite with DD (nearly 4). Since she's into this I have no problem with her eating her veggies ('sports candy'). She also runs around like Sportacus and loves to dance like Stephanie. Children's TV is for kids not for adults.... Gives you the chance to do something else while they're watching the telly

ds (4) watches nothing but Scooby Doo. Over and over and over and over and over...We started off with the original Scooby Doo Where Are You? episodes that those of us of a certain age remember from our childhoods and have just started collecting the What's New Scooby Doo before we go completely mad with the same old episodes!
