I'd like to put a good word in for Trash Truck. We all love it. I guess it can't quite compete with Bluey in the life lessons department - they're more simple, maybe better for younger kids. But it's definitely lovely and friendly and fun.
My life path, including our ages +/- a year, is exactly what the person you're responding to described. I think the "screens are demons" approach to the screens of the 90s would indeed have been overkill and even counterproductive. However, I think (many/most of) the screens of today are nothing like back then.
My spouse and I discussed it later in private, and we were both horrified. In the moment we had both had visceral little gasp reactions to how bad it was. We were until then only aware of a problem to the extent of "my kids are staring at screens all day", which does of course sound like 90s parents. The real problem is that some significant portion of those screens are now putting out absolutely horrifying cognition poison.
