I agree. I put it on mainly for the kids, but it's still on my good list. I have this mental list of the shows that are off-limits, mediocre but harmless, pretty good, and ones so good I could watch them and enjoy them. Charlie and Lola is good enough to watch if only for the cute little accents you mentioned. It surprised me that I liked it, though, because it usually bugs me when the animation doesn't at least show some understanding of the basic structure of the human body (one of the pitfalls of study, spoils you for things you might otherwise have thought nothing of). But I make exceptions for cartooning where that clearly isn't the primary goal, like this one, Phineas and Ferb, etc. The style used is of course identical to the books and is more designed to convey the feel of the stories and the look of a child's drawing. The ones that really get on my nerves are the ones where they push close to human appearance and yet seem ignorant of the fundamentals of human structure and bone and muscle movement... like Dragontales or Dora the Explorer. But I digress.
Yes, it's a good show.
