TV Show Suggestions

Can anyone suggest a few more shows to explore for my daughter? She's thoroughly bored of Dora and Diego and other preschool-age shows. She's loving Arthur. I think she especially loves all the social situations and how they get through them. She's very aware of social stuff, observing a lot, and experimenting, and also very shy and has some anxiety that prevents her from doing some things she'd like to do. I think she really enjoys watching the same situations that she's afraid to enter, play out fully in a show. So, are there any other shows like that? She's 6.5 years old.

My six year old daughter loves:
Pucca - a quiet ninja girl
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - my 11 year old loves this too
Pingu - a claymation penguin
Oscar's Oasis - animated animals in the desert, no dialog
All of which are available on Netflix streaming

My daughter liked Dragontales.
The new My Little Pony shows are getting good reviews.

Some that we (we have a 4 1/2 and 6 1/2 year old):
Anything with dogs in it, so all of the Air Bud and Air Buddies, etc. There are a lot of these on Netflix right now.
Oscar's Oasis (which we all love)
Wallace and Grommit
Shaun the Sheep (another family favorite)
Timmy Time (a version of Shaun the Sheep, but for the younger crowd, but still good for the whole family)
Phineas and Ferb (family fav)
Ooh, there's some fun Kung Fu Panda stuff on Netflix
Curious George
The Backyardigans (love the music!)
Pound Puppies
Horseland
We are also big Mythbusters fans, particularly my 6.5 year old daughter
We also enjoy looking for stuff on Youtube. It's how my 6.5 year old learned to type "funny cats".
Hope this helps!
Trista

I saw Shaun the Sheep mentioned and thought I'd say something about that
one. Kai fell in love with it several months ago. At first, as I watched
it, I thought it was really simple. But I've discovered that it's really
useful for dealing with social situations and observing body language. None
of the animals speak a common language, really, at least not one that we
could understand. So it is based on what you see, rather than what you hear
(except for tone). We've gotten a lot out of that, discussing, "Oh, did he
look happy? Or did he look sad?" Anyway, I just thought I'd give a plug for
that one - it's deeper than it looks.

At that age my older daughter loved Spongebob.
My younger daughter (now 6) likes iCarly, Phineas & Ferb, Barbie (there is a free web series called Life in the Dreamhouse that is really cute).

My kids are 5.5 and 7.5. Adventure Time and Regular Show deserve another
mention. My kids also love Bob's Burgers, a new animated comedy. Our whole
family loves Futurama, and my kids have just discovered The Simpsons.
Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated (the new series) is pretty great, and
that's coming from someone who never liked Scooby Doo growing up. Amazing
World of Gumball. New Dr. Who, my gals love the Weeping Angel episodes.
Star Trek TNG.
What we're watching almost every night before bed is America's Funniest
Videos. There's 20 years of it up on Netflix. They're both experienced
YouTubers, so I'm not sure why they choose to take in their funny videos in
this format, but they just love it. My older daughter likes to read out the
date, if a video has a date stamp on it. They like to talk about what
happened, and whether it was funny or not.

My nearly 7 year old also loves Arthur. She is watching it right now! Other shows she likes are Magic Schoolbus, Pokemon, Spongebob, Scooby Doo,The Moomins (you’d have to buy the Moomins I think but it is definitely worth buying!)
Her favourites at the moment are all UK shows, but she watches them on the internet, CBBC website -
Tracey Beaker – set in a children’s home
Dani’s House – teen drama/sitcom
Wild Tales – follows wild animals as they grow up
Deadly 60 – deadliest 60 animals
Bear Behaving Badly – sort of children’s sitcom
earlier ones that she’s moved on from recently are Horrid Henry, Horrible Histories.
She also loves most cookery/food programmes, Heston’s Fantastical Food, Jamie Oliver, Man versus Food.

My 6yo son has been enjoying Dinosaur Train, which he found off of the
PBSKids website. Lots of social situations have come up that we have ended
up talking about later.
Another interesting series is The Little Travelers. Our local library has
it and you can also rent the discs on Netflix, assuming you are in a
country that you can! There are two young girls whose family took extensive
videos while they were living or traveling abroad and the girls do voice
overs. My son especially likes that they are real children and he can see
how children in other countries live. They have British Isles, Japan, Bali,
Germany, and Iran in the series and each DVD is about an hour long.

My kids are 4.5 and 7.5.
As mentioned by someone else, they also LOVE the Backyardigans (incredibly clever music and dance work if you watch it) and Curious George.
We just finished Avatar: The Last Airbender, which both of them loved. They want to watch the whole series again from the start.
Both of them also like Franklin (although it isn't on Netflix in Canada anymore, sadly, nor is Curious George, although you can get it on iTunes).
My daughter likes Wallace and Grommit, although my son doesn't.
They both like The Wind in the Willows...you can order the first two seasons and the two feature length films made by the BBC through Amazon. For some reason, the remaining seasons were never issued on DVD.
Both kids also like Babar, although probably not as much as the others I have mentioned.
Also popular in our house are classic Looney Tunes - we have a collection on DVD which both find fun to watch. There is so much historical context in those older cartoons it is funny the discussions we have, like, what are those little things in the corners of the drawers that look like Hershey Kisses? (Shelf paper weights, if you are wondering!) There are lots of neat little references that need explaining too, like why would the grandmother be working swing at the factory? Things like that.

Apparently I am the proud mom of a Bronie! My son (who is 14) told me a few days ago that he was a 'bronie' and that he was strong and comfortable enough with who he is that it didn't matter that his friends knew it. I knew he had been watching some 'My Little Pony' lately on Netflix but I also know he likes a very wide range of video genres, from Scooby-doo to Resident Evil, old Abbot & Costello to the latest Transformers, you hopefully get the picture he really likes movies and movie history as well as a lot of video game history as well. I also know that he is friends with the younger sister of one of his close friends who is age 10 and loves My Little Pony and they do cross-overs so that everyone can play together. So I didn't think that much more about it until I read your comment and watched this video on you tube:

Anyhow I guess to some guys this is a bigger deal than I thought and I wanted to share what I found with other parents who think it's weird for their older kids to like the show. Barbara
