Things for a young 8 year old to watch

My dd is struggling a bit as her friends are watching things like mean girls ans dance mom's which she doesn't want to watch (and I don't want her too) but she is also asking for new things to watch. Everything on netflix seems to be girls and boyfriends/gorls being nasty to each other. Its horrible.
She currently watches very young things which she loves but is now embarrassed about talking to jer friends about eg bluey, paddington, little lunch. She alsonwatches the loud house and investigators and occasionally operation ouch.
I don't know what to reccomend for her although we did watch an episode of worzel gummdge last night. Any ideas?

Our School on cbbc - my 10 year old loves it. Also cooking and house programmes can work as family viewing. Gladiators is fun to watch together and encourages fitness rather than too much focus on appearance

I know it's silly but the masked singer is suitable for all ages .

My kids watched Modern Family from about that age. Also Young Sheldon. Both have 8yo kids in it, whilst also being enjoyable for parents to watch with.

We love Junior task master

Stuck in the Middle on Disney Plus was popular here (similar vibes to the Loud House but not animated)

Things like Junior Bake Off and Junior Taskmaster are very popular in my son's class.

I have some from my DD - Just Add Magic (Amazon Prime), Scaredy Cats (Netflix), Bizaardvark (Disney +), Erin and Aaron (Netflix).

My DD is the same age and I struggle to find things for her to watch that aren't too grown up or too young as well. Currently trying to get her into Sabrina the Teenage Witch, I used to watch on Nickelodeon when I was younger but even that seems a little grown up!

Malory Towers on CBBC is really good. Also there is a horse type show called Mystic on CBBC but it's maybe slightly too old for her.
