How Much Watching Time Do You Have This Weekend?

‘Timmy Time’
When to watch: Now, on Amazon.

“Timmy” is a spinoff of “Shaun the Sheep” that centers on a mischievous and darling lamb and his nursery-school adventures: enjoying the color blue, feeling frightened by thunder, celebrating one’s fourth birthday, indulging in the allure of mud puddles. The show, which came out in 2009 in England and has aired on various platforms here in the United States, is dialogue free, and Timmy and his critter pals communicate in cute animal sounds and intonations, which makes it inherently less grating than call-and-response children’s programming. I will warn you, though, that we will all be buried with this theme song still stuck in our heads.

… a half-hour, and I need something gentle.

‘The Great North’
When to watch: Sunday at 8:30 p.m., on Fox.

If you’ve already rewatched “Bob’s Burgers” so many times you see menu puns in your sleep, try this similar family comedy, in its third season. Earlier episodes are on Hulu, and as with many prime-time network cartoons, you can just start anywhere. The show follows the offbeat members of a family in Alaska who share the Belchers’ kind of loving whimsy and quirky outlook. “North” is a solid chill-comfort show, and it’s also home to some of TV’s best character names: Beef Tobin, Dick Chateau (brother of Rick Chateau), Greta Meatweep, Diffany Vandenarkenkark and Tusk Johnson, among truly dozens of others.

‘Kaleidoscope’
When to watch: Arrives Sunday, on Netflix.

Giancarlo Esposito stars as the ringleader in this eight-part heist drama that indeed hits the heist-y notes you would expect, all slick and elaborate and bursting with ragtaginess. The ostensible hook is that the episodes are not sequential: Installments are named by color instead of number, and Netflix will serve them up in different orders to different viewers. (“White” is the finale episode no matter what, though.) Given that so many contemporary shows bounce around in time, the gimmick doesn’t feel all that distinctive — A flashback, you say? On a doing-crimes show? — but “Kaleidoscope” is plenty of fun in a “Money Heist” way.
