We do "Saturday morning cartoons" (as in, Saturday mornings is the designated time for watching cartoons), and one trick I've found is that switching TV shows every episode or 2 really helps with attitude and the eventual "well, that's enough TV for now". If we binge-watch one cartoon, after three or four episodes we have a cranky toddler who just wants to keep watching that same show all day, but by cycling through different programs we can do cartoons in the morning and then switch to crafts, playing in the yard, etc, without (much of) a fuss afterwards.
