I think you will struggle to find anything interesting for your children. My children are in their teens now but I struggled to find anything that would hold their interest then, by now there ought to be something available.

We just have to learn to entertain ourselves maybe like human beings have done for thousands of years before the appearance of mass media. I lost out on creating a deep connection with my children because I got divorced, I used to like having family meals together and sitting together later, reading them stories etc. Television tends to trance children out and make them into passive adult consumers after they grow up, regardless of the content.
