Sir, it's a show for toddlers that adults can watch and relate to. Watch the repetitiveness of Daniel Tiger or the brain destroying Cocomelon (which should be banned) then get back to me.
Reminds me of the old Saturday morning cartoons. Good luck figuring out what your kids are watching these days.
I've seen that zombie behavior too when my kids watch too long. I think there's definitely value in some shows, and some of them are actually very educational.
