I know I'm late on most of this discussion, but I have a little bit different viewpoint. My kids are almost 1 and almost 4. I still don't hink shows like sponge bob and fairly odd parents are acceptable. There's way too much ridiculing and bullying in there for my liking and I've watched more episodes than I care to.
Yes, I'm sure they'll be exposed to it in school, but when shows teach kids to behave like that it's hardly surprising.
On the other side of the coin, I find PBS and Disney (even though I don't care much for the company) offer some really good shows. Stanley on Disney is a great show.
IMHO marketing push and childrens shoes that make use of regular abusive language or behavior are a large part of the reason the quality of kids TV is sinking.
