    I love PBS Kids, purely because of how charming it is. It's so unalienating and inviting. As a boy with autism and ADHD, PBS Kids was always my go to when I was little, because it never overwhelmed or overstimulated me, it was just a fun time. The bumpers are cute, the mascots are iconic, and the shows themselves (for the most part) still hold up today. I grew up with PBS Kids (because I didn't have cable) and it was such a fun and memorable channel. I'm glad I was a PBS kid.

      Funny enough in 2003 (I was 10) was the first time I ever got cable in the house. It was like a whole new world opened up with so many different shows I needed to catch up on and new ones starting up. But, I'd also still give PBS a watch daily for Arthur, Dragon Tales, Cyberchase. Those were good quality shows.

    A network that should be free access to all who had a TV dissolved because they flew to close to the sun. Which sucks because as someone who too grew up with PBS Kids this hurts me. I'll never forget the goof times I had with this network. Their never be anything like it.

    • @Superlad9494
      @Superlad9494 3 месяца назад +10

      I think one major problem is actually what happened when Dragon Tales was getting almost Arthur numbers...as Emotional Devolopment+Spanish Culture and Language being taught naturally with the kids automatically translating to the viewer without saying "this means" was an extremely rare combination.
      There were only 26 new Enrique adventures in 13 episodes of a typical 26 episode season which would have made the count 52. Sure they gave a lot of attention to Enrique, but not as much as they could have. I mean sure Max is the overall protagonist, Emmy the deuteragonist and Enrique the tritagonist but they could have made a few more episodes at least that involved Enrique somehow and brought the count up to an even 100.
      For instance they could have had Enrique get a solo adventure twice for some reason (like Max and Emmy are on vacation and his family is house sitting/possibly sick), and have Enrique get a few adventures with just Emmy (because they clearly were crushing on each other and held hands a few times) and a few adventures with just Max so they could do bro stuff...and finally just before the ending...they could have had Emmy get her own solo adventure set and one last solo adventure for Max...because the Max solo adventures really wound up turning out being the most interesting.
      Another issue? Several other shows went on a tad too long or didn't get renewed when need be.
      Arthur should have stopped in 2016.
      Barney should have stopped in 2000.
      Zoom and Fetch stopped at the right time.
      Cyberchase is still going, but they should stop it soon by finally curing Motherboard.
      Reading Rainbow got canned for an understandable reason, but could have had a few more years.
      Sesame Street should have ended at season 35.
      PBS also had an issue when they decided to make their three PBS Kids movies from 1998-2000. In the Barney movie...no kids from the show were used. Sure it's nice having a more serious plot, but it needed the kids from the show at the time to really make it work...like maybe Chip, Linda, Keesha, Robert, Curtis, Emily, Kim and Stephen could have all been present for this since they were the main kids at the time. The Shining Time Station movie was too late despite plans for earlier than it was, it should have been in the early 90's, and finally the Elmo in Grouchland should have been deemed a no go because Sesame Street already had a movie with "Follow that Bird"...what really should have been picked at that time should have used an ABC rule.
      They had the B part already, but it could have been modified it to use the show kids and have them sing the theme song to bring Barney to life...that probably would have helped.
      For A? This is where Arthur's Missing Pal should have been released and in theatrical 2d instead of early CGI.
      For C? They or Fox probably could have pulled a Carmen movie off.

    When I was a young child, I lived in an unfriendly neighborhood and I couldn't go outside as much, PBS Kids gave me the comfort and entertainment I needed to get through. Word Girl, Martha's speaks, The Electric Company Reboot, etc. Just a decade ago I was raised with cable T.V and now things have changed. I seriously wonder what it's like to be a young kid now, where streaming and RUclips content is more dominant.

    • @sensiblesentimental
      @sensiblesentimental 2 месяца назад +12

      Genuinely.
      I try my best to not think less of younger generations, because they don't have any control in how they were raised, but I do worry about them. How much do they get to learn outside of school in the cartoons they watch? Is there any way for kids in a similar situation to yourself to get the same kind of educational content anymore? Or does it all have a subscription cost now? I hear a lot about kids not being able to read. Some as old as teens. It's heartbreaking.
      A lot has changed since we were kids. I can't place everything that might have led us here- Probably a lot of budget cuts and government failings, among a myriad of other things (The rise of the internet came to mind, at least in terms of people just giving their toddler free reign of an ipad instead of turning on an educational TV show)
      I really, really hope things get better for the youth of today. For everyone's sake.

    I guess long story short, PBS Kids was a network that was on top of the children's education mountain at one point before it's competition, Noggin and Sprout, threw them off and tried to replicate their success, only temporarily. Now, there really isn't any problem with PBS Kids outside of bad decisions, it's just that its popularity wouldn't last once other channels came in with better tactics and financial decisions.

    PBS Kids was my main cable TV childhood growing up! My all-time favorite shows on that channel are Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends (obviously), Cyberchase, Sesame Street, Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, Dragon Tales, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Maya & Miguel, Reading Rainbow and Fetch w/ Ruffman. And even though I never saw the other few shows that aired on that channel and only seeing them via home media or on YT, but I also love watching Shining Time Station (that vessel Thomas to the States), Theodore Tugboat and The Magic School Bus!
    It's a shame that alongside Cartoon Network, PBS Kids would decline from removing their Classic shows to being demoted b/c of corporate meddling companies and such. BTW, what are your thoughts on PBS Retro on Roku? I know they're re-airing other shows like the model airings of Thomas and a few others.

    Thomas & Friends, Arthur, WordGirl, Martha Speaks, Fetch With Ruff Ruffman, Cyberchase, and Wild Kratts were the sh*t.
    It's crazy that Cyberchase is still going, though. The first few seasons were great, but even as a kid, I felt like it became kind of mid when the flash animation era began. It's also unfortunate that Gilbert Gottfried died and wasn't able to voice Digit to the end... if there ever IS an end, that is

    I grew up on PBS and watched regularly up until I was 8 or 9 (2004, always tuned in to Arthur) then occasionally up until 2008 while my younger sister was a toddler.
    Now, I am a father to a 6 yr old son now and have been watching PBS Kids with him for some years now. I don't think there was ever really a "fall"; the channel is just different and aimed to a new generation far removed from mine or any of ours who are pushing 30 or already in their 30's.
    Some of my favorite new shows have been Wild Kratts, Let's Go Luna and Molly of Denali. Notable mention because it starting airing in the time period I was not watching: Nature Cat (especially since I am an SNL fan in my adult years haha). It is still a wholesome and educational channel with lots to go around.
    (I'm curious about Alma's Way, haven't seen much of it yet. I want to give it the benefit as I'm hispanic and seems like a newer take on Maya and Miguel from my childhood).

    Tbh, compared to other animation-based networks (and blocks), PBS Kids never had a downfall.
    Sure, the channel (and block) already became a Nick Jr. clone once the 2013 rebrand happened and many of the pre-2006 shows (except for some like Arthur, Clifford and Cyberchase) were all retired by 2009-2013, but it's still doing wonderful with shows like the Clifford reboot and Elinor Wonders Why.
    And funny enough, outside of Mister Rogers Neighborhood, they don't have original programming. Most of their stuff were acquired by iconic studios like Sesame Workshop, Universal Animation Studios, Ragdoll and the biggest studio, Nelvana.

    Honestly, out of all of these shows, I still think Teletubbies may be a close 2nd to my all time favorite, which is Sesame Street.
    I know there were a lot of folks who were scared of them as a kid, and I can kinda see it, but I always felt happy seeing it because of how much it just felt like watching a bunch of toddlers interacting with things that they find interesting.
    And it's always hilarious to me how the teletubbies' toddler behavior also means that many of the funny bits are from when they do something wrong just because they find it funny XD
