Pokémon Horizons: The Series
The latest TV series in the sprawling Pokémon franchise comes with familiar charms—and familiar issues.
Welcome to Carnivore Cove, the best place to live in the ocean. Here, Baby Shark lives with his entire family: Daddy Shark, Mommy Shark, Grandpa Shark and Grandma Shark. Every day, Baby Shark finds fun-filled adventures to tackle with his best shark bud, William, and other underwater friends.
Nickelodeon and Paramount+ present a fish-filled, comedic series, Baby Shark’s Big Show!
Every TV-Y episode is divided into two segments and is aimed at preschoolers. Kids will learn about teamwork, bravery and kindness, all while singing along to original songs. There’s a bit of silliness here (think a mild form of SpongeBob), some potty humor and an interesting quote on the “randomness” of the universe. But the focus is really on the belief that, together, we can do-do-do-da-do-da-do-do-do anything!
Baby Shark asks his best friend, William, to help him pull his loose tooth. But when they lose the tooth, they have to pair up with the Toothfish Fairy to find it.
Grandpa Shark sits on a Whoopee Cushion and Grandma Shark says that the universe is totally “random.” A fish burps.
Baby Shark hits his head on a rock while rushing.
Whalefish Hank loses his pet rock, Rocky, after it lands in a slobber slug’s cave.
William warns Baby Shark to be careful about a scary slobber slug.

‘Adventure Time: Side Quests’ on Disney+ takes us back to the land of Ooo. But even though the place is made partly of candy, it’s not always so sweet.
The mutants are back in Disney’s retro iteration of the X-Men—as are the violence and superhuman abilities that typically accompany this franchise.
If the idea of a Game of Thrones prequel had you groaning preemptively, you were right in doing so.
