Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh and families. If you loved Lizzie McGuire, start here.
The mood: Funny with heart, feel-good.
The pace: 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 5 hours in all.
What might put you off: Rated TV-Y7. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1969: an older pace and style.
