Does anyone remember what this era of PBS was like? The P-Pals era? I mainly know this era was when Arthur premiered on PBS. The first 65 episodes premiered during this era.
I was around the reading rainbow, wishbone, and lambchop.
When did PBS die for you?For me, it's when they stopped airing Masterpiece theaterEven NOVA has been shit for some time
>>220998349Brought to you from viewers like you. Thank you!
>>220998479Heard of masterpiece all the time, dont think I ever saw a movie in its entirety. I had to have caught a piece of one over the years but cant remember.
>>220998349I know this is a bit after the era OP is talking about but I miss History Detectives.
>>220998479>Masterpiece theaterI can still hear the classic theme. When they changed it it was the beginning of the end, though in that era they were still putting out kino, like picrel featuring my wife
Is this the Where in the World is Carmen San Diego era? I watched the fuck out of that show. Prob aging myself.
>>220998780The games how or the animated series? I saw the cartoon on Saturdays, the intro was hype as fuck. Same with action man. They really got tou into the zone.
>>220998810It was an actual game show with kids my age at the time. There was a male host I think and a british woman who did voice overs with clues I believe? The kids would get clues and place a big ass flag on a big ass map that was on the ground.
>>220998780Yes, I think that show was on during this era. It later got replaced with the Carmen Sandiego history game show.
>are you a millennial with liberal parents Yes.Zoom was pretty good from what I remember.Even as an older kid though, a lot of PBS children's content felt too "young" for me so I'd be more likely to watch their history shows or my local PBS had some kind of deal with BBC? So they'd have evenings where they'd show Red Dwarf and Blackadder, and we'd all stay up late to watch that with my dad.
>>220998846Black woman who called the audience gumshoes? A doowop crew singing the theme? They would compete for prizes?
>>220998882Most of it was yeah. Every now and then they did have some stuff that felt older aimed like elementary skewing like Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego and Ghostwriter.
>>220998931Yep. That's it. Don't know where the male host or british woman came from. Maybe mixed it up with something else around that time. Done a lot of drugs since then.
>>220998479I never really watched it but they split the kids stuff to their own channel.
>>220998954We had this episode of Ghostwriter on tape that gave me the heebie jeebies.
