This one slows your pulse down whether you asked it to or not. Thirteen episodes of Zoum, a white dolphin, and two kids living with their sailor uncle, and the biggest stakes are usually whether everyone gets home by sundown. The mynah bird doing double duty as translator between dolphin, animal, and human is the kind of logic only 1975 kids' TV would commit to with a straight face, and it works because nobody in the cast questions it. A koala and a sloth round out the crew, which tells you exactly how much urgency this show is interested in. Then Zoum meets Za-za-zoom and they have a baby, and the series just lets that be the emotional peak, no villain required. Put it on when the world has been too loud and let the ocean handle the rest.

Zoum is a white dolphin whose friends include two children who live on an island with their uncle, a sailor. Several animals round out the cast, among them a koala, a sloth and a mynah bird. The bird can speak with the dolphin, the other animals and the island's humans, so it serves as their interpreter. Over the course of their adventures, Zoum meets a lovely female dolphin, named Za-za-zoom in the English version, and the two have a baby together. The show is a 1970s TV adventure built around animal companions.
