The Mr. Men Show
Has to be one of the best kids shows on the telly 
It's on Cartoon Network at 9am during the week (weekend too?) My 3 year old daughter and (nearly) 2 year old son LOVE it. Even keeps me occupied.
I never saw the British newer version, but it seems the only differences are the voices and a name tweak or two.
I got the DVD of the Original Mr. Men a few years ago and it has aged terribly with 70's animation and all, although Arthur Lowe's plummy voice is still pretty special.
Anyone else a fan?

Re: The Mr. Men Show
Ahhh good to know.
Any other good shows for kids? I'd been avoiding Cartoon Network because it all seemed violent.
We're getting Dish next week with America's Top 250 - I'm not holding my breath but at least we'll have a DVR so we won't have to sit through all the ads any more. I thought I'd record a load of stuff for the kids so we don't spend so much time watching their Care Bears DVDs

- SpongeBob (Nick)
- Yo Gabba Gabba (Nick Jr?) Tons of singing/dancing/musical nonsense by a DJ who is a mix of something out of the band "Dee-Lite" and Austin Powers.
PBS has plenty shows to watch and NBC has their Saturday morning block called 'Qubo'.

My daughters LOVE Dora the Explorer... kinda cute to hear your 4 year old speak and understand spanish.
I did flick the Mr Men show on the other day and they refused to watch it!

I think my 2yo would still have a British accent if he didn't watch quite so much Dora and Diego, as it is he just sounds like Diego half the time.
