The Bug Diaries

I'm a mom and a science geek. This show is great. No fancy animation, but a lot of great scientific themes ("I could talk for hours about loam!" says the worm) and the invertebrate kids do a lot of helpful cooperation modeling social skills for the target demographic of age 3-6.

Pros: science themed, based on books (author Doreen Cronin - Click, Clack, Moo books), humans are racially diverse, the worm has two moms

Cons: bugs are gross

Reminds me of the cartoons I watched back in the 80s. The show has wonderfully wholesome stories filled with problem solving scenarios. Yes, the worm has two moms. If you aren't filled with nonsensical religious dogma, you know that worms are hermaphrodites and can assume the gender role that they need to assume.
