Daniel vs. Peppa

My 2 year old watches both Daniel Tiger and Peppa Pig. We get to watch runs and reruns (more reruns than runs) of both, and over time I've started hating one and loving the other. 

Daniel's parents are always the definition of 'ideal'. They are what we all start out as every morning, but give up about 10 minutes later to be ourselves. They never react, never shout, always have the perfect response ready for any situation. I HATE THEM!!!

Peppa's parents are the other extreme. Peppa's dad is overweight, gets teased for his tummy, ignores his wife's level headed suggestions, hates to use a map or ask for directions, etc. etc. They buy ice cream for the kids, they let them jump in muddy puddles, they love making a mess. Feels so good watching these episodes.

Doesn't matter to the kid, she likes them both. But given a choice (hint hint) she is watching Peppa :)
