Personally, I find the current animation in WordGirl to be -- excuse the anime girl in me -- rather simplified to the point where I find it irritating at times. But hey, that's today's cartoons for you. However, with GCI, I believe it would downgrade the quality all the more. I speak from experience *cough* Winx Club *cough* that when you attempt to convert 2D animation into GCI, it usually comes out with unsatisfactory results, at least for TV shows (movies seem to come out better, simply because there is no 2D animation it can contrast with). It's generally too jarring of a change for the viewers. Besides, companies haven't been switching to GCI because of the improvement in animation; they just want to save money. (Kim, it's actually less expensive to create all the characters and backgrounds, which can be reused over and over again, on a computer than to hire teams of artists to draw the scenes.)  In short, I believe the idea is good in theory, but in practicality, the overall result would not be appealing.
