There used to be a lot of really good kid's TV about.
How about Pin Gu?? I think he was Finnish, and he certainly didn't speak any language familiar to mankind. I know he's more recent, but he's really cuuute... <embarrassed> --TL
Aw, yeah, I love Pin Gu?. Spider was also lovely. -- ARC
He's just a Lin Ux marketing ploy! And, if you believe Richard Stallman?, it should be Pin GNU? ...
The late Sydney Newman would have said that Doctor Who originally counted as part of this category - the Target novelisations had the tagline "the children's programme that adults adore"... in 1970.
Do they still make programmes like these?
I expect so, but we don't notice them, being a little older. Still, not having looked at the children's TV schedules recently I am not sure. I think a lot of TV has gone computer animated rather than importing and dubing french/japanese animation, which is a shame.
Most of them, and this is apparently official, and cause for controversy, come from America Land.
A worrying number of them are in pre-pre-production as movies, apparently: <http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/news/cult/2003/02/27/2910.shtml>
