My son hated all kids’ tv and movies. Until we had a revelation.

Before that I guess there was Captain Kangaroo, and, if you were lucky, JP Patches.

And shows like Leave it to Beaver, the Brady Bunch, Lassie, Little House on the Prarie and a plethora of shows pushing some form of morality. Television was much more limited back then since there were only 3 channels so there wasn't much targeting kids specifically but instead pushing 'traditional values' on the whole family.

I didn't mention them deliberately because they weren't usually about emotional skills. But you're right that it was far more sparse in that era, these days we're spoiled for choice.
