The other titles in the top 10 were <em>SpongeBob SquarePants<\/em> and <em>Peppa Pig<\/em> at\u00a017 percent each, <em>Ben &amp; Holly&#8217;s Little Kingdom<\/em> with 14 percent, <em>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles<\/em> with 13 percent, <em>Paw Patrol<\/em> and <em>Dora the Explorer<\/em> at\u00a012 percent each, <em>Horrible Histories<\/em> with 11 percent and <em>Ben 10<\/em> with 10 percent.<\/p>\n<p>The research also found that children re-watch their favorite program 53 times a year, compared to parents who admitted to still watching their favorite kids&#8217; series\u00a0a dozen times in the past 12 months. Among several\u00a0reasons\u00a0why children like to re-watch the same\u00a0episode, 59 percent said it&#8217;s because &#8220;it&#8217;s funny,&#8221; 47 percent said &#8220;I like the adventures they go on&#8221; and 38 percent said it&#8217;s because they &#8220;love the characters.&#8221; Adults re-watch because of nostalgia (29 percent) and to\u00a0bond with their little ones (21 percent).<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Sam Wass, parenting expert and psychologist who&#8217;s contributed to Channel 4\u2019s <em>The Secret Life of 4-Year-Olds<\/em>, commented: \u201cAs parents we spend so much time as the authority figure, imposing boundaries and setting rules, so sitting down to watch TV with your child can help to reset and recharge your relationship. I love that so many children voted for shows and cartoons that their parents also used to enjoy when they were young and that they are all available on the Sky Kids app. Watching and discussing these shows together will allow your child to see the child that was once in you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lucy Murphy, the head of Sky Kids content, said: &#8220;It\u2019s great to see <em>Scooby-Doo<\/em> standing the test of time and remaining a favorite amongst kids and parents. The Sky Kids app has thousands of episodes of kids&#8217; TV shows, from traditional favorites like <em>Tom and Jerry<\/em> through to favorites today such as <em>Ben &amp;\u00a0Holly<\/em>, so children and parents alike can enjoy their most-loved shows.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: A survey commissioned by Sky Kids to mark the recent launch of its new app reveals that the animated hit Scooby-Doo, which airs on Boomerang in the U.K., is the nation&#8217;s all-time favorite children&#8217;s TV series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":479,"featured_media":9999,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[811,327,976],"class_list":["post-9998","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-boomerang","tag-scooby-doo","tag-sky-kids","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Scooby-Doo Voted U.K.&#039;s Favorite Kids&#039;
