The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has recently published recommendations that children sharply limit the total time they spend in front of a TV screen.  While reducing TV time for children should be an objective for all families, there is something to be gained from high quality children's programming in the correct dosage.  The ratings below, which include our reviewers' (who are pediatricians and moms) favorite series, can help parents to make informed decisions.  While there is considerable variability in quality and influence among childrens' shows,  the Center for Media education reports that only 10% of children's viewing time is spent watching programs intended for children, perhaps a trend we can change by letting kids see their shows... and joining them!

 We will be updating this list.
