Seat belts, everyone!

Additionally, many scientists today credit early exposure to The Magic School Bus and other programs on PBS geared towards science education as a reason they chose their respective field later in life. Because of this widespread affect, it has become the subject for further studies on its impact on early childhood development in regards to science education.

This is a regular on my media server - along with the newer version of the school bus, reading rainbow, pre-HBO sesame street, and Mr. Rogers.

Which seasons of Sesame Street do you recommend having? There's so many seasons, I don't know which to get for my server. Getting things ready for our kid

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 2 points 4 months ago

I really like the late 80s through early 2000s, but I also have all of them (because I just keep adding more storage so I don't think about removing stuff)

What about Bill Nye? Wishbone? 🫡

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oldest isnt quite there yet for Bill Nye, and I have not see wishbone and know nothing about it

[–] theedqueen@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Wishbone is great. It’s about classic literature. Highly recommend. If they sold the series on dvd I’d get it for myself.

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

OK, Wishbone is great and my kids are watching it right now and loving it.

[–] theedqueen@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If you’re interest in other PBS shows the Puzzle Place and Between the Lions are great too

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hard yes, always interest in good programming for the kids! I don't mind them getting some time to watch, but I do mind what they get to watch 😄

I'll check them out too, thanks!

Oh and Under the Umbrella Tree! That one’s a Canadian kids show. I found it all on YouTube.

Can you tell TV raised me?

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 1 points 4 months ago

So far seems like it was good TV though!

[–] theedqueen@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Amazing. Glad y’all enjoy it!

Oh wut?? I swear it didn’t show up when I looked for it last. Thanks!

Edit: ah wait. It looks like there’s no full box sets. Just dvds of individual episodes. So back to square one.
