Bing and Bong are awesome. I say that in all seriousness, and I'm a 40yo man. You would love the quirky physics, colors, sounds, and puzzles presented in the little training-wheels universe these guys inhabit.
In a nutshell: Science for toddlers!
How could you not love a show where these fuzzy albino creatures are launched, daily, by a giant catapult to a different planet every day, on their rubber-band-tethered couch?
Yep, my kids have watched this and I can confirm that there's a lot of fun science going on. It's a bit surreal, but fun - and sweet, no crazy cartoon violence. It is a bit surreal, but then again, I come from an age of truly bizarre kids shows. "H.R. PufNStuff", anyone?

Let me just add that I used to watch it with my (now 8yo) daughter years ago. :)

Is it real science? If so, I'm cool with that.
