Dora, Diego, and the Backyardigans

I'm not a major fan of any of these series, per se, but my sons enjoy them from time to time. However, I've concluded that each series has only about four episodes, which is weird because they've been on the air for more than a decade, haven't they?

Dora is always the episode with the flute, the singing frog, the echo bush, or the stolen musical instruments.

Diego is always the library llama, the macaroni penguin, the whale shark, or the armadillo.

The Backyardigans episode is always the Sherlock Holmes whodunit, the Volcano Sisters, the Vikings vs. Mermaid, or the Western Polka-worm.


As a distinguished consumer of refined television entertainment, I find this to be inadequate.
