There's some good stuff on Amazon. My kids loved Tumble Leaf and we bought all the seasons of Mythbusters as they got older.

I'd be a bit careful with that: https://www.wsj.com/articles/peppa-pig-a-pandemic-favorite-h...
haha what’s there to be careful about that? I love that thanks to Peppa Pig we had a little bit of British culture added to our home. Similarly now with Bluey (Aussie show) and us occasionally saying Brekky for breakfast.
Yeees, Bluey is lovely! I refused to watch it at first because of the square dogs, but I'm glad I caved in. Similar articles came out about that show, worth a listen.[1]
And really, the Australian pronunciation of "cache" (like 'keish') is downright superior.

It seems rather odd to be upset that a television programme might teach one’s children to enunciate properly? One is genuinely rather confused as to exactly what it is with which you take umbrage.
This is America, we speak American here. How dare you insinuate my American ain't proper enunciation. How 'bout you umbrage yerself back to whatever country you came from
clutches pearls
spit-takes tea
drops biscuit
Ghastly!

The use of music (all original scores but beautifully using classical music too) is amazing too.
