Children's programming has lost its way and may never recover.

Children's shows both live action and animation has taken a steep decline since the mid 2010's. I should preface that ones geared towards preteens and up have been hanging on with Netflix and on occasion Disney but ones made purely for Children just haven't been anywhere close to par with the 90s and 2000's. Due to many factors such as the economy, birth rates, shift towards 3d over 2d, and especially the internet. Parents just play whatever simple and uncomfortably plain slop their is on YouTube and don't even engage much with what their kids are actually watching. With exception to Bluey and sesame street still going strong all the big properties made for and are successful for kids are purely from the internet. And usually the families that do watch over what their kids consume just show older programs that already have had a stable legacy. And with our future looking grim for Children's education and the class divide becaming wider and wider everyday there may not be any time to recover.
