6. Caillou - This show about the four year old and his friends was a favorite of mine as a kid. The language is simple and the picture, while also simple, is intricate. I especially liked his Chinese friend and their episode about chopsticks.
5. Clifford - I personally must own about 20 of the Clifford picture books. What little kid doesn't dream of having a dog they could ride to school?
4. Thomas & Friends - A beloved television series and book series about a tank engine and his hardworking little friends!
3. Elmo - Nanana, nanana, Elmo's World! Elmo's World is enjoyable for both little kids and their parents (and grandparents and big sisters). My little sister often will plop herself on my lap and demand to watch it. Like with other kid's show successes, the selling point for Elmo is his approachability and simplicity. Kids like someone they could cuddle and hug and do handstands with in their head.
2. Barney - Barney the purple dinosaur... who doesn't remember this loving, lumbering friend? I love you, you love me...
1. Scooby-Doo - Scooby-Doo and his crime solving buddies scares little kids but intrigues them at the same time. The fast, hyper, pumped-up activity of the characters make the show more suited towards older-than-toddlers-but-not-yet-tween kids.
My little sister's current favorites are Elmo and the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show, but that wasn't around when I was a toddler, so it's been omitted from this list.
