I love watching some of the programmes that were on when I was little -- Bod, The Magic Roundabout, Mr. Ben, Button Moon, Camberwick Green, Trumpton, Bagpuss, Fingermouse, Rainbow, etc.
The only modern-day programme I really got into was SamSam. It's French, but they made American and British dubbed versions. I saw it on British TV a few years ago, and I totally fell in love with it! I'd get up at 5 or 6am just to watch it! The theme music was also really fun with fast/rapped lyrics.
I've looked everywhere online, and I can only find the American-dubbed versions, which are fine, but it's funny hearing the characters speak in different accents... and the theme music is so dreary! Why would they even make two different theme tunes for the US/UK?! Even the Swedish version uses the US music with Swedish lyrics. :-/
Anyway, there are some interesting characters in the series... such as the Wettabeds (who make you wet the bed). They appear a few times (as general foes), but the first episode is dedicated to them:
