(youtube)

Kids TV shows are not the same anymore. Begad, they don’t make them like they used to anymore. I was babysitting my niece one day and the stuff kids watch these days are absolutely horrendous. Feen ayam el TV shows el gameel? As an Arab ’90s kid, I’d like to say that we had it best. From Spacetoon and Mbc3, to hating on our TV when “san3ood b3d kaleel” comes on, and more.

 

I’ve decided to give kids of today the best guide to watching a7la TV shows to get into.
