I'm surprised no one has mentioned Mr. Roger's Neighborhood yet. One of the best if not the very best childrens' program in the US. It was slow-paced and deliberate like the Danish shows are described, but instead of being crass and letting things play out, he dealt with serious topics in a simple, honest, and caring way. He also encouraged curiosity and investigation and broke gender and ethnic mores way before it was the in thing to do. Well worth checking out.
