PBS was once a bastion for children's TV, a refuge, free from 30 minute action figure commercials disguised as cartoons. No more. Mr. Rogers is dead, Sesame Street needed to be canned a long time back, Dragon Tales rehashes the same stories over and over again, please don't get me started on Sagwa, George Shrinks and the Bearenstein Bears. How has Arthur lasted as long it has, better yet, how has it maintained quality? Between the Lions has got to be the most obnoxious example of PBS Children's TV's fall from grace. No, I take that back, Boobah now has that dubious distinction. But Between the Lion is not off the hook by any means. This show is like chewing tin foil, or scraping fingernails on a blackboard. Sheer pain. It's a crime that this show can go on and on, but Levar Burton can't get funding for his series Reading Rainbow. Trust me, if it had a plethora of obnoxious, semi muppet characters that could be merchandised, PBS would give the man a blank check.
And why is a noted sex therapist appearing on a children's show anyway?
And to the reviewer who feels that Mr. 345 is in no way entitled to his opinion, I'm sorry sir, he is, and I agree with it. And about home schooling, there's an episode of South park you "really' need to see.
Oh for the good old days when PBS children's programming actually meant something.
