I'm from the '80s, so for me, it's Square One TV, Where In The World is Carmen Sandiego, 3-2-1 Contact, and more.
I mean, just take Square One as an example here. Imagine walking into a TV producers office and saying, "Alright, I want to do a sketch comedy variety show that is very loose spoof of 'Saturday Night Live', except that it's entirely about math and aimed at 10 year olds."
And they actually put it on the air! Amazing.
I have to be very careful with nostalgia here, but it certainly seems like PBS has really lost a lot of the clout that it once had. Certainly for me it was immensely valuable.

If it makes you feel better, PBS has a streaming app and my kids watch it all the time. If I let them they would just watch it all day. So they still have clout, even though my kids don't watch Sesame Street (but they do watch Daniel Tiger, which is cartoon Mr Rogers).
- tclancy 5y agoWell, all networks have lost mindshare, but I wouldn’t say their kids programming is worse.
