Is it me, or is Children's Television going through a nadir? Having grown up throughout the noughties and tens (Which is an incredibly weird thing to say), children's television was in a bit of a golden age that I think was taken for granted.Besides the heavy UK hitters like CBBC Channel, CBeebies, and CITV, we had all of the Disney Channels, Cartoon Network, the Nickelodeon channels, POP, TinyPOP, Kix, et al. I feel like we all took it for granted. It was a great time for Children's TV. That's not to denigrate previous or current generations of kid's television. Everyone has a right to be nostalgic, but I feel like 2000's Children television was the peak of it all, in terms of choice.

Very subjective, I would argue the mid/late 80s is more nostalgic for me having grown up in that period.

Anyway more choice doesn't necessarily make it a better experience. The days of Children's ITV/Children's BBC was purely a case of "this is what we're showing, if you don't like it, then [as the TV show said] Why don't you just switch off your television set and go and do something less boring instead?"
