Sprout is almost the only channel my son (15 months) is allowed to watch, besides a few movies. I love the cast (he adores Nina). I love the fact that it's live and that it moves with you throughout the day (like if we're trying to settle him down before bed, there are always slow relaxing cartoons or music on, such as Kipper). We used to be a huge fan of Caillou, however today I was reading reviews on it and everyone was saying he whines to much, and now that I think about he does whine..ALOT! Other than I, I highly recommend Sprout. They even have a website and you can send stuff in (drawing, birthday wishes, songs). They'll even sing happy birthday to you child on live TV.
