DS LOVES Mickey Mouse Clubhouse too.  He also likes Handy Manny and Special Agent OSO.. which are educational as well.

DD loves all of those but we don't get them at home.  I would run to the library but I've given my fair share of money to them for late fees and I'm not willing to risk more.  It's way to easy to forget when they are due with every thing else I need to remember.  Unfortunately Netflix doesn't have the wiggles or those other UK programs so I might really try to push elmo if she'll go with it anyways.  Has anyone heard of Caillou?  I'm wondering about it, I'm hesitant to start an obsession and then regret it. :-\

Wiggles are Aussie ;)
What about DVDs - we seem to be able to get a big range here for as little as $10 not even on special

Caillou will make you want to stick a fork in your eye. 

Curious George is the top dog in our house at the moment...erm top monkey lol  It's actually a good show!  I totally enjoy it.  Finn has already learned about selling lemonade to buy your own soccer ball, how traffic lights work and how to play miniature golf.  It really can teach them stuff.

It's also on Netflix here in Canada...not sure about USA.  Sadly you guys have a much better Netflix than we do.

LOVE Netflix!!!!  And yes we do have Curious George.  DD loved him awhile back when we got it on our tv but then ran into Dora which took her to Diego and in an effort to stop the madness we turned to Shaun the Sheep (Grandpa's advice).  I will reintroduce George and I'm sure she'll like it again.
thanks for the advice about Caillou.  A friend I have suggested it and I had never heard of it before.

If whining is already bothering you in your household, do not watch Caillou (nickname Cry-ou) lol

I'll have to look for this sheep thing.  He liked Dora but went off her recently.  Fickle little kid.  

My fave part of Netflix is knowing exactly how long a show is...and knowing that we don't have time for it LOL I can say 'nope that's 23 min long and we only have 11' so he hasn't had a comeback for that yet other than to break down and cry.

Worst show ever.  Calliou is likely the whiniest kid on the entire planet.

Max and Ruby??

well Caillou is an out then because we sure don't need any more whining.  Shaun the sheep was producing exactly that. 
Wendy, if you look up Shaun do it for yourself and spare Finn.  It is actually amusing for adults, at least it was for me the FIRST time I watched them, not the 100th.

My DD needs music and dancing
We have a nursery rhymes DVD which is appalling quality acting/dancing/singing/miming/filming but DS LOVES it!  It's like a karaoke with the nursery rhyme words printed at the bottom of the screen, he totally loves to dance and bop along and loves that it's all children doing the singing/acting.  We sometimes dance to it together and he has a big box of musical instruments and we get those out and l=play along with the tunes too.  I'm pretty sure he learned how to turn around on the spot from watching the 'teddy bear teddy bear' rhyme.  It amazes me how much he does learn from TV and DVDs as I was always convinced TV was a big bad no no.  I think I was wrong.

oh and he also learned how to turn on the TV, the DVD and make it play - things that DP and I still have difficulty doing!  When Nana said to me one day, 'I think he wants his rhymes DVD he has the box out, how do I turn it on?' I replied, 'I haven't a clue just let him do it himself'

Actually more and more research is showing that tv/dvd/ipad etc. are helping children learn, and cope with social situations.  Example would be say DD1 has a hard time with going to the library.  So I find a show that portrays a young child going to the library and what you do at the library.  They are finding that these types of things are helping children to not only learn but also to be able to adapt to situations.

My two have picked up some surprising things from some of their shows! DS loves a show called "I can Cook" - he knows some quite technical language now!

My two have a new favourite show called "Tree Fu Tom", the main character does magic spells and invites those watching to help him make the spells. They have to follow a series of physical movements to make the spell and the programme was developed with the British Dyspraxic society - the actions they do are to help children's physical development, it's great!
