Noddy is addictive to 3 year olds

"My daughter loves Noddy. We started watching it on PBS Sprout - in the "On Demand" Free Zone section offered by our cable TV provider. Recently Noddy was removed from the PBS Sprout offerings, which really annoys me, (In fact PBS Sprout content is now no longer available to me at all in the Free Zone b/c I don't pay to subscribe to the regular Sprout channel, but that's whole 'nother rant) so I have purchased a few of the Noddy DVD's, enabling me to still let my 3 yr old have her occasional fix. Is the content educational? Maybe a bit, but not particularly. For the most it's just warm, happy, colorful & charming, like watching your toys come to life and interact, which is the premise of the show, basically. The story lines are simple & engaging, and the episodes include singing & dancing. It's a British import, so it lacks the rank commericalism one usually encounters in children's programming. i.e. There are no commericals for Noddy dolls."
