The genius of Peppa Pig

Over the past year I have been " forced " to watch many hours of Peppa Pig, due to my daughter of course. Yes I have my alibi ! After a years viewing I can now announce that as I always suspected this childrens cartoon is pure genius, and must require great skill to produce. Am I mad ?
  The amazing thing about Peppa Pig is the fine balance each episode requires. They must be simple enough to keep the attention of a toddler for 15 minutes and still somehow be quite acceptably watchable to an adult as well  That's quite a task isn't it ?
  The story lines are not too complex or to simple, they hit a certain balance that I would find a challenge to produce, in fact the little jokes included are often aimed at both adults watching and their children.
 I have grown to love this series and shall quite miss it now that Thomas the Tank Engine is my daughter's T.V program of choice..Maybe its the fact I used to check my blog stats every morning while it was playing on T.V ? It became part of my daily routine funnily...
