If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Tots TV is available in the UK on ITVX Premium right now. With 8 seasons behind it, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. Strong word of mouth says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. The writing gives every character room to be funny, not just the leads. Put it on tonight on ITVX Premium and see for yourself.

Tots TV arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Tots TV gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Features three ragdoll friends: Tilly, a French girl, with red hair, who speaks in basic French, Tom, a blue haired boy with glasses, and Tiny, the youngest Tot, who is smaller than the others and has green hair. The Tots either stay in their secret house, play games and make exciting discoveries, or they go outside to explore an everyday area in the real world. 8 seasons (1993–1997) gave the story room most shows never get. The timing in Tots TV is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Tots TV is a strong candidate. The tonal similarities to Fraggle Rock are real, though Tots TV carves out its own identity quickly. 8 seasons in, there is no shortage of material once you get started. The ensemble carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

Tots TV is currently airing new episodes, created by Robin Stevens and Andrew Davenport — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
