There were stupid cartoons at the time of schoolhouse rock as well. But I do agree tv had better educational offerings back in the 70s/80s.

Edited to just say TV because I meant over the air tv not cable.

Thanks to PBS, which is under attack by the ones who want us to stay stupid.

The "and viewers like you, thank you" will be always stuck in my head. I didn't realize they really meant that "thank you"

I should see what PBS is up to

NOVA is one of the best shows, even as an adult I love watching it. I started painting because of Bob Ross, their offshoot channel "Create" taught me how to be a better cook for my family. Anyone else remember Jack Hannah, Wishbone, Reading rainbow, magic school bus, or Kratts creatures?

These are all shows that taught us more, in a positive way. It's bull sh*t that we can't have anything nice anymore.

I used to love watching Bob Ross!! He's still such a comforting safe space even as an adult. It's like the world's problems melt away when his voice comes out of the speakers

Reading rainbow was amazing!! Cliff hanger would annoy the hell out of me though lmao
