For a show of this type that's far better than it needs to be, Cory Carson (https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80237347) is quite an interesting case study. It's very clearly there to sell toys - it's made by VTech. But the writing is both sincere and funny, with several jokes that punch above their weight in most episodes (some good rule-of-three gags and a nice running thing in which the local coal train is called John Coal Train - not a joke as such but also that reference doesn't need to be made unless you're doing it at least somewhat out of love for the writing).
