classic kids television
“classic” (purely from my generation’s perspective, this would be late 80s to 90s) kids television was so much more educational than the current selection of TV shows.
prime example would be animaniacs… i learned so many things from them! country names, all the states and their capitals, a bunch of english words, multiplication, the planets in the solar system, parts of the brain, a bunch of different ways to say hello…
another example that i just ran into… while reading an article about how scientists are thinking of bring lions and elephants from africa to the great plains of the US in order to help protect them from extinction, they brought up how although the african lions and elephants have never lived in the great plains, their ancestors the mastodons, camels and saber-toothed cats have. and then i remembered…
MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS!!! mastodon was the black ranger, and saber-tooth tiger (must be pronounced with fobby accent a la trini) was the yellow ranger!
mm, i miss good ole kids TV shows
