Lily's Driftwood Bay

This is my one-year-old son's favorite show, and I can understand why. It is in fact the only TV-program he is willing to sit still for five minutes and watch. Even as an adult, I can enjoy it (and let's face it: a lot of children's shows are not enjoyable, they are incredibly boring and a gruesome pain to have to endure). I think part of the appeal is that each episode is well written. Part of the beginnings and part of the endings are always similar, taking place in the "real" world. Similar enough for recognition, but not close enough for repetition. Then, the main events takes place in a world of the main character's imagination, using the same locations and same colorful characters. All in all, each episode is something new, but still very familiar. Small children seem to enjoy that a lot. Further it is visually pleasing, the animations have a very distinctive style, and the music fits the visual style and the story very well. I get the impression that the creators of this show really enjoy what they are doing.
