Little kids don't need new programming.

Expose your kids to physical comedy trough silent black and white classics. Young children love them and watch them again and again. Adults love them too. Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd and many others.

Silent films are great even if a kid can't follow the title cards. Without dialogue, so much of the story is told through the action and expressions of the actors.

While not silent, as a child I spent many a weekend morning watching The Three Stooges on our local PBS channel.

I wish there was a way to convey woo woo woo via emoji. Maybe some sort of Homer/Zoidberg gif?
With plenty of disclaimers to not imitate Buster Keaton, I hope
