There is really only one show that both our kids love well enough that neither gets bored and wanders off. That show is Toopy and Binoo. This odd program is described on Wikipedia as follows:
The series centers on an anthropomorphic rat named Toopy and his best friend, a silent plush cat named Binoo. Each episode follows their playful, nonsensical adventures created out of their imaginations. Toopy is the only character that speaks, and for the most part provides enthusiastic descriptions of their adventures. Individual segments are approximately five minutes in length, but are frequently grouped together as one thirty minute episode.
The program is absolutely wacky, and I suppose that is what they like best about it. Every few minutes the characters are off in a some new imaginary adventure. Katie just calls it "Binoo", and it is always her first choice when asked. Scott's favourite show is still Battle Force 5 (which Katie abbreviates to just "Five"), but he is always down to watch Binoo. They snuggle into the Thomas couch together and hardly move -- a miracle, since they usually last only seconds without a conflict on that couch in any other circumstance.
