COCOMELON Is The Most-Watched Kids TV Show, Data Says
By Movieguide® Contributor
New data suggests that COCOMELON is the most desired children’s show.
The Moonbug Entertainment series topped the charts of Netflix shows watched for the last half of 2023. From July to December, users watched it more than 200 million times.
Deadline reported, “Taken together, all views of seasons of CoComelon made it one of the most-watched in the top 100. The eighth season alone was watched 37.6 million times and most seasons featured in the top 50.”
Much of the show’s success stems from its mostly positive messages.
According to the Movieguide® review for Season 10:
“COCOMELON: Season 10 has bright colors and constant movement to keep the attention of preschool children. Each song and dance has different elements and different activities. There are many creative elements included, such as unicorns, dinosaurs and princesses. Overall, Season 10 has a strong moral worldview promoting friendship, having fun together and families with fathers and mothers. However, there are some questionable elements such as magical unicorns and references to dinosaurs and Halloween. They are mixed with two songs referring to a Christmas tree, the Nativity star, Christmas presents, and Easter eggs. Despite the questionable content, COCOMELON: Season 10 is generally a family-friendly, safe program for younger children.”
Moonbug’s Nicolas Eglau knows families are drawn to this kind of programming.
“This content has the ability to deliver values in a playful and fun way, so we take it very seriously,” he said.
COCOMELON far exceeded any other children’s show on Netflix, with GABBY’S DOLLHOUSE coming in second with 90 million views.
Cocomelon began on Youtube and has since become a hit children’s show available on both Youtube and Netflix. Moonbug has also created other hit children’s shows such as Blippi and Little Baby Bum.
