Whitechapel (2009)
Interesting start, becoming more like cheap horror by season three
The start was reasonable. The characters are derivative. The lead a mixture of monk and other detectives. By season three all the storylines seem copied. The constant shaky flashing images between scenes in later seasons gets quite annoying. The actors did well.
The City That Forgot About Christmas (1974)
A fine low cost production
This is a film by the Lutheran Church, so its purpose is to present Christmas from a Christian perspective. The animation is rather low cost (they repeat motions and images, mouths do not synchronize with the words...), but my family has always enjoyed the humor in the well written story--so we watch this show most every year. My boys especially like the simple minded men who follow the mayor about. These three often repeat the same phrases with the third giving a humorous twist. The songs are also simple, but nicely done, clear and memorable: "you can't stop Christmas no matter how you try" and "chip, chip, chip away." Other than the odd animation (which probably matters most to adults anyway), this is an excellent show for children.
