We had both BrainPop and BrainPop Jr for a year (when kids were 8 and 6). DD7 liked the Junior version initially, but overall found it too simplistic. DS9 would sometimes binge on watching the videos, but eventually stopped. A year was good, but we didn't resubscribe this year. I might next year, since DD never watched it much. We definitely used it as enrichment, though, and not as a major part of homeschool.

Both kids have been watching Ted-Ed videos recently, if anyone is looking for bite-sized educational videos for older kids.
