In the meantime, I have found a different show for my extracurricular Chinese TV (er, watched on our computer, that is, since we don't have a TV). It is...
托马斯和朋友 (tuō mǎ sī hé péng yǒu).
For the English speaking 3-year-olds out there... that would be "Thomas & Friends." Yes yes... Thomas the train.
Thomas & Friends launched in Chinese in April of this year, airing on CCTV-1. I've been able to find about 30+ episodes online.
It is all in Chinese, along with Chinese subtitles. It has been a great way to hear some basic language, basic conversation, and cover some fun topics. So far, I have learned about bravery, pride, sacrifice, asking for help, and forgiveness.
So, can you guess the trains below based on the Chinese transliteration of their names?
托马斯 - tuōmǎsī
邓肯 - dèngkěn
艾蜜莉 - àimìlì
高登 - gāodēng
培西 - péixī
And as a bonus, who is this character (not based on transliteration)?
胖总管 - pàngzǒngguǎn

胖总管 pàng zǒng guǎn translates literally to the "Fat Controller" - it is Mr. Top Hat (a.k.a. Sir Topham Hatt)!
