"Kipper the Cat"

Madge's favorite show right now is Kipper. Fortunately, there is a number of episodes on Netflix instant view. It's a British cartoon about a dog named Kipper and his adventures with his friends. Kipper is a simple show, with simple animation, simple backgrounds, simple dialogue, and a very short list of characters. But its slow-moving plots and dialogues must appeal to kids (probably more so to those under the age of 5). The simplicity and loveable characters (not to mention their memorable voices) is a joy.

I always joke with Madge calling the show "Kipper the Cat." That alliteration sounds so much than Kipper the Dog, right? Anyhow, Madge will ever call me on it. "No, Dad. It's Kipper the Dog."

"...it's a toad not a frog...'cause it's Kipper the Dog."
