Yep, it's proof that the royal family are lizards.

I have the kids profile on Netflix set to U only and they’ve gone and re-rated the Peter Rabbit series to PG so it vanished today and now I can’t decide if I should open the floodgates to all the PG stuff or just have to remember to watch it Prime instead.

Side note: The stream quality on Prime is miles ahead. I wonder do Netflix actively lower the bitrate on kids videos to save bandwidth

A way to test that may be to watch a kids video on your profile. I could imagine lowering the bit rate on something like Teen Titans or SpongeBob on all profiles (nominally kids things but enjoyed by adults) wouldn't go down to well among the sort of adults who both like those shows and email complaints to Netflix about things like bitrate. I don't know much about bitrate/resolution to be honest but it also might only be on there in 1080p because that's all it exists in.

Also if you're looking for U kids stuff I recommend Toot Toot Cory Carson, it looks like a shameless cash in on the Vtech toys but it's a funny show!

My biggest question is WHY IS IT ALWAYS DAYLIGHT IN THE NIGHT GARDEN?!?

All I can say is thank god the awful bing didn't make the list.

What's your top 20?

Bit of a wonky list that, some good stuff - but Tweenies? Teletubbies? Grandpa in my Pocket?! GTFO!

My kids have generally moved beyond the beebies stage now so I think a lot of what we used to see all the time has probably been retired: 3rd and Bird, Mike the Knight, I Can Cook (Katy ), 64 Zoo Lane...

Numberblocks should really be a double entry with the excellent Alphablocks - which is arguably doing a harder job explaining the intricacies of phonics to kids with the same charm and lightness of touch.

Go Jetters needs to be on there for the title theme alone. :

Something Special deserves to be there as well.

The characters in Alphablocks are incredibly annoying though

Something Special is the best Justin show by far.

Glad Waffle, Bitz and Bob, and Bing are nowhere near that list.

Gigglebiz -> Something Special
Twirlywoos -> Tinga Tinga Tales

My kid has just got into Bluey. I approve, it's a lot better than the crap he usually watches.
