I've seen a few that worked well that way - though at the moment I'm 
having a bit of a memory access issue and can't come up with the name of 
one.

But basically it's kinda like something like Animaniacs - the humour has 
a tinge of double-entendre to it - the jokes have dual meanings (not all 
of the dual meanings are of an "adult" nature, but require a greater 
understanding/experience of the world than a kid is likely to have).  
We've been watching a bit of the first series of Animaniacs, and have 
found this to be the case.  Our son, who just turned 21, has commented on 
this because he watched it as a kid, and he's pulling entirely different 
levels of humour out of it now as an adult.
