Blaze and the Monster Machines (2014)
Fun and enjoyable kids show
This show popped up as a recommendation after my child was watching Paw Patrol and I was dreading another mindless show that I sit through hating the characters and trying to figure out what the writers were smoking when they wrote the non-sensical plot.
It's not like this at all. It's fun, has a good message, and teaches kids a lot. The interactive parts feel a little forced but once my son got used to them and how long you're given to answer, he felt really involved in the story and loves it.
Each episode has a specific topic to teach (angles, inertia, width, etc.) which they cover well.
PAW Patrol (2013)
Low quality, non-educational, and low effort but kids love it
This is possibly the lowest quality kids show around. None of the story or character ideas make sense and have just been randomly chosen by the writers "because it's fun". Ryder generally chooses Chase for missions when there are far better pups for the job.
Episodes rarely have a message or lesson to be learnt. It's a show entirely for entertainment and kids love it for that.
If you can avoid your child watching it, great. But even one episode and they'll be hooked.
