I'm definitely more ignorant than right in most cases. Of those I've only seen Bluey after a close friend of mine with younger kids raved about it. Mine are grown, so it's a bit after our time.

While I liked it, I think being a cartoon takes away from it. What made (and still makes) Mr. Rogers so wonderful is that he is a living, breathing, old guy - someone usually intimidating to kids, but in this case a lovable grandpa. He shows the real world, which is instantly relatable to everyone.

I also think this is why Sesame Street works better than if the show had been made in the style of, say, Fraggle Rock. The humanity matters.
