Recommendations for "slow paced" TV shows for preschoolers

[Anonymous]

I'm looking for recs for TV shows that don't jump from scene to scene and splice together lots of rapid movement (which is supposed to be awful for attention span). I'm posting some of my DS' favorites below but looking for new recommendations. Vehicle or construction-related shows a plus! I noticed, for instance, that Bob the Builder is way too fast paced. Actions are not completed, they jump from thing to thing, it's constant action. What we watch now:

Thomas the Train
Fireman Sam
Wheels on the Bus
Sesame Street

Little Bear
Caillou

Also, Reading Rainbow shows (don't know if you can get them now).

Wonder Pets? (got a strangely rapturous review in the recent NYer, have to say I've never been a fan but it's slow paced)
My 3yo loves: Bubble Guppies; Peep; Max and Ruby; Dora and Diego; and the occasional Kai Lan

Why? You may not like it, but it meets the OP's requirements - it doesn't jump around from scene to scene. My DS doesn't like any "crazy" TV shows like Sesame Street, but he does like Backyardigans.

Oh - he does like Mr. Rogers too.
