Arthur is pretty good, as is Jakers, the Adventures of Piggly Winks.

Jay Jay the Jet Plane and Caillou are abominations, however, and even Clifford can turn your stomach with its sappy feel-good messages.

And I also found the new Sesame Street character intriguing as well: it's a fertilized lump of tissue that's going to hang around for a few months until it suddenly becomes a human baby, as if by magic, and at no discernable point of change. The character was introduced with the new musical number, It's Not a Baby Until NARAL Says It Is.
