101 TV Shows for Boys aged 1-12 Years Old (Aside from Cocomelon!)

Kids have their favorite TV shows. If you want to introduce a new series for your kids on TV or Youtube, here is a list of 101 shows that your 1-12 year-old boys will enjoy.

If I want to get things done in the house, I resort to screen time to give me some space. And yes I am one guilty mom who befriend TV and tablet so I can move around the house. But before you judge me please, I have some restrictions on how long their screen time is and what shows are allowed.

One of our all-time favorite shows that never fails to amaze my boys is Cocomelon. But when the songs are playing nonstop and bugs you even during bath time, maybe it is time to introduce new shows. I have no qualms against Cocomelon, my kids love it and so do I. It is a good show that teaches values and family. I just want to have some diversity so my kids know that other shows do exist.

TV Parental Guidelines

Before introducing new TV shows to your boys, make sure they are age appropriate. While you can set parental controls on TV and tablets, it is still necessary to know the content of what your kids are watching. This is where TV Parental Guidelines, a rating system established in the United States, sets in.

Do you ever wonder what the letter codes in the upper left corner of your tv screens are for? Or for streamed shows, the letter are usually placed right under the show’s title.

These letters represent the TV ratings guide to provide parents more information which programs are suitable for kids according to their age.

To help you give information if the shows are suitable for the kids are not, here is a downloadable TV ratings guideline. You can also check out tvguidelines.org for more information.

  1. Bluey and Little Baby Bum are two of my 2 year old’s favorite shows! We also really like Dora and he’s started picking up some words in Spanish. Great list!

  2. What a great list. So good to make sure our kids are watching age appropriate shows. To get things done I used to have to resort to screen time too when my kids were younger.No judgment here 😊

  3. such a cool list of shows.. while some of them seem like they could be newer, i recall watching many with my now-teens when they were younger
