Playhouse Disney also aired in the US (97-11) but I don't remember Dave and Alex. I watched Playhouse well into my teenage years. I would watch Madeline while I got ready for high school in the mornings lol. IMO, Playhouse Disney had better programming. PB&J Otter, Bear in the Big Blue House, Madeline, Out of the Box, Adventures in Wonderland, Sing Me a Story with Belle, and Rollie Pollie Ollie would make great additions to the Jr lineup and add some variety. I DO NOT want Disney to re-tool these shows, just bring them out of retirement and air them as they are.
