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.

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

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

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

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!

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.
