Jesus Christ shows for kids nowadays are completely braindead.

That's literally the only show I banned my kids from watching.
Bullshit.

From what I remember Barney had great messages though. And it certainly wasn't as nonsensical as the night terror that Word Party is.
Theres a diference between all ages and stuff specifically for little kids. Sounds like your show falls into the later.
It makes me wonder if tommorows kids will feel nostalgic over those "Pregnant Elsa and Spiderman rob a bank" or whatever videos on Youtube.

some friends and me watched some shows from when we were kids ('80s) a while back.
Apart from the odd exception like Mysterious Cities of Gold and Ulysses 31 they were all poorly animated, badly written 25 minute toy commercials.

Yeah I can see it not being everyone's thing. I threw it on on Netflix one day, looking for something light that I wouldn't have to pay close attention to, but ended up really enjoying it. I think the characters are intentionally naive/oblivious in the same way a lot of cartoon characters are. It lets them easily introduce a new conflict to be resolved in a 15 minute episode.
Yeah, I think they've had a small batch of new episodes every few weeks or something?
But...that show is literally an educational cartoon based on known and proven child development theory, designed to teach kids new words and reward them for it
I do think there's at least some validity to OPs sentiment, but it's not necessarily what the poster thinks. I think shows now simply move faster and have less time to really digest the same braindead ideas we were served as children. It's not that they're dumber or ours were smarter, it's simply that shows now have to move at a considerably faster pace than previous generations because competing mediums of entertainment exist that are hitting the same highs in a faster pace, especially with technology (games, etc). So watching it seems insane, but it just means we're old and slow.
Never heard of this show before but it looks like it's for pre-k kids. Kids that young barely have a grasp on anything so if it can hold their attention and teach them a new word or concept, then it seems fine. It's not meant to be palatable for people over the age of 7.

I don't know, I feel like Pokemon teached the exact same values without needing to be so stupid.

Because I know better than them and want to teach them critical thinking and an appreciation of quality early on.
Yeah, watching some of the old '80s "buy this toy" cartoons, it's a wonder our parents didn't think something was seriously wrong with us.
My daughter's in the preschool age and most the shows are either 20 minute toy adverts (Paw Patrol) or irritating as fuck (Bing), but occasionally there's diamonds. Hey Duggee is an absolute delight and I will happily sit and watch multiple episodes with my daughter, mostly because they throw in jokes or references that kids will laugh at but are blatantly aimed at the parents watching.
I also had a massive dislike for Peppa Pig before my daughter started watching it as I thought it fit into the advert category, turns out it's actually not that bad and similarly has jokes thrown in for parents.

I think a lot about how Hey Arnold! rightfully is fondly remembered as one of the best shows of its time and a great cartoon, but if the show had come out in this age, the same people who champion 90's cartoons would say things like "Hey Arnold appeals to SJWs" and scream "Forced Diversity!".
Pokemon taught you.
And you taught them.
I kept HBO after Game of Thrones ended solely to have access to all those seasons of Sesame Street that my son is addicted to on the weekends. He fucking loves Elmo, and the show is actually entertaining for adults to watch along with them. He's also watching Pokemon from the very beginning as a "treat" if he's been good.
Land of the Lost (scripts were written by sci-fi writers)
Although yea I agree for the most part there are way more sophisticated kids shows than before (Avatar, Steven Universe, Shera, etc..)

Perhaps watching some word party can improve your english!
Tho seriously, i literally learned english on my own via tv and videogames
I can't stand word party, not For the content or anything it's just exceptionally ugly compared to just about everything else my twin niece and nephew watch on Netflix
Also the characters are babies in diapers but it's aimed at the early reading crowd, even my niece and Nephew don't like it for that reason even though they're the target age. They're already at the age where they don't want to be seen as babies anymore

I don't know. Maybe teach them to respect human beings before moving to numbers and shit, that's what school's for. As much as I dislike Peppa Pig it does a great job at that.
I would say the opposite. Even the trashier shows like Blaze and the monster machines have STEM topics in them like momentum and velocity etc. My kids learned all their sight words way before kindergarten through these DVDs that just show a word like 'it' playing basketball or some stupid shit in sub flash animation while the word is repeated 20 times. They were super infuriating, but damn if my kids weren't way ahead of the curve at school.
My nephew loved the Mickey Mouse show where they do the hot dog dance. Its dumb but he responds to it.
