How to get my child interested in safe tv shows

My little one likes to watch toys being played with on YouTube and he started watching Vlad and Nikki, I saw a few clips and saw no harm it seemed alright and was just while I was busy doing things. But he’s become obsessed with them, so I sat and watched some of it to understand his obsession and my goodness it’s horrendous. I saw the kids take cakes out of the oven with bare hands, they constantly pester there mum to play when she’s busy and get what they want all the time and gifted new toys and it basically teaches bad behavior which my son has deffo learned from watching them as some of the things they do he is doing. I’ve blocked them now but they keep showing up via different channels. I’m a single mum with a hyperactive boy so need him to be able to sit and watch tv sometimes so I can clean otherwise he just goes round causing chaos but he won’t watch anything I choose. I’ve tried giving him colours, paints, other non tv activites but I have to supervise him because he starts drawing on walls and things. I’m frustrated with him today as he is speaking to me like absolute rubbish and how I’ve noticed those boys was speaking. I’m so mad at myself for dropping the ball and not paying attention to what he was watching. Can anyone recommend anything safe for toddler boys to watch that will interest him?

My daughter is only 6 months but she loves Sesame Street, bluey and the magic school bus.

I find curious george really good, it keeps my son really engaged. Also, the tiger who came to tea is good and also low stimulating. Although, my son normally asks to watch hoovers (actual henry hoovers being unboxed and used) on youtube, he has a hoover obsession 🙈

we love max and ruby & maggie and the ferocious beast!

timothy goes to school aswell x
