Like for between age 1 and 2? We use screen time when appropriate and so far on Netflix she like little baby bum which is educational or nursery rhyme songs. She also loves furchester hotel which is Elmo and Cookie Monster. We have Netflix and amazon prime (and cable).

I have a 20 month old amd 3.5 year old. I love Daniel Tiger, it'd a spin off of Mr. Rogers. Both my kids love it. I like the messages behind them and often use the jingles with my 3 year old when he is having a hard time.
We also like Curious George. It's cute, and shows problem solving.
Super Why is also good. It's reading skills but it'd better for my 3 year old. My 20 month old isn't there yet.

All of these. E1 also loved Dave and Ava (on youtube) as a young toddler. Mostly nursery songs but it also taught numbers and letters.

Until 2 we basically just did Sesame Street because she didn’t watch too often and loved Elmo so there were plenty. At her 2 year wel check the pediatrician recommended super why (on Netflix). At 2.5 she also likes Daniel Tiger. She probably would have liked these all earlier if they had been introduced to her.
We mostly do YouTube on the TV now, not sure if that’s an option too but she’s 19mo and the favorites are: Little Baby Bum, lots of the ABC songs Super Simple Songs Meet the Phonics -this is great and she sounds out so many letters because of this. Mickey Mouse Counting
Others that are cute from the Baby First Channel, not sure if your cable has that but you can also bring these up on YouTube Looi VocabuLarry Color Crew
When he was younger like between 1-2 we did a lot of Sesame Street, I think on HBO? At 2 he went through a Daniel Tiger obsession. Daniel is probably my favorite for reasons pp mentioned. We also watched old episodes of Thomas the Train on amazon prime. Now at almost 3, he’s really into Peppa Pig and Blippi, which we watch on YouTube.
I hate YouTube. I don’t know how to control it and some of the stuff DD ventures to is so dumb. I really like the pbs app. She mostly just watches Sesame Street and Daniel Tiger.

DS (21 months old) loves Super Simple Songs and Bubble Guppies. When I was in first tri with DD, I could rely on SuperSimple Songs to keep DS entertained for as long as I needed to decompress.
Related question: how long does screen time typically hold your LO’s attention? I’m lucky if my 18 month old watches for more than 5 minutes.
My boy is like that, he didn't watch anything until his sister was born at 2. Now he will watch 1 episode of something. If I'm doing something with his sister and don't turn it off right away, he will wonder away and start to play.
My girl would watch all day. She is 20 months and loves music, so any show with singing she would binge watch if i let her. I saw this when her brother was sick. She wanted to stay in the l
The only thing we’ve shown her is Sesame Street. It’s on HBO, but they have a ton of episodes. She will watch an entire episode. She loves Elmo and Abby especially.
We mostly do 1 episode on weekend mornings. Occasionally a second if the weather is bad.
At age 2 my daughter liked Sesame Street. Not often though, she would maybe watch an episode once or twice a week. I started turning to it in the evenings to occupy her while I made dinner, but then found that those nights she had a really hard time settling down for bedtime, so I nixed that. She did best if she watched it in the morning or early afternoon.
We still don't do a lot of screen time, but now she's all about Daniel Tiger and that's all she ever chooses to watch. I've tried some Disney movies with her and she has a hard time making it all the way through, she wants to pause them and go play and come back later. We love Daniel Tiger though, and we also listen to a lot of the music through Amazon Prime. It has been really great for dealing with emotions.
my kids love (LOVE) Bubble Guppies and Blaze - Blaze is more geared for the older one, but it's still race cars and monster trucks, so the little one loves it too. I just wouldn't have started watching it if not for the older one.
they're good, at least somewhat educational and the characters aren't obnoxious or bratty. (I know Crusher cheats in Blaze, but he's the only one and he gets thoroughly destroyed each episode so we talk about it being not nice and see what happens when you're not nice, etc.)
Our 22 month old really loves llama llama and the magic school bus reboot, both on Netflix. We try to get him to watch other things but he just asks for llama or bus.
