Don’t forget the Little Einsteins!
@ericlang7987what about Fetch with ruff Ruffman
@connorakers668Sesame Street deserved the number one spot
@TaliaWolfe-Feichter-m8vWhat about between the lions
@mariestick6636Zoboomafoo is like an older version of the Wild Kratts!!!
@ThomasAgent09You should of added in The WotWots. It’s a kids show that’s great and educational.
@briarb3045I forget the name, but I used to watch a live action educational kids show about insects. A tween boy and girl who were brother and sister, I believe, would get shrunk down to the size of an insect, and interact with puppeteered bugs. Two I remember were a housefly named Marty who was comic relief, and a slug who acted as a guru. When the two kids came to him with a plot-centric question, the slug would launch a pebble into a small pool of water, triggering footage of the insect that episode's plot revolved around. And every episode ended with the same sign off from the boy - "gotta buzz." Does this show sound familiar to anyone?
@zacharisincennes8026Puppy dog pals should have been number 9 instead of schoolhouse rock
@jacksbigmusicshowfan20063:02 oH, yEeEeSsSs!!!
@TappingporkchopNice
@GustavoValdesArayaschool house rock was the bomb loved it they need to bring it back
@evilmothericebearkillerbir6016No Curious George?
@ajs1584Sid the Science Kid is not supposed to be on this list because it ripped off Bill Nye the Science Guy and the Magic School Bus.
@ajs1584Just started watching liberty kids I hope it's on this list
@JohnAymar-k4o"Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" and "Sesame Street" are my favorite childhood shows.
@amandaoutlaw1349Anybody remember the Sesame Street spinoff Play With Me Sesame (2002-2009)?
@shanecharrette9987Me
@leanndevries5827NO THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE, NO BOB THE BUILDER, NO FIREMAN SAM, NO POSTMAN PAT AND NO BALAMORY!
@DavidDoom95In the 70's, I really li!ed Big Blue Marble! A geography show.
@cocoaorange1Thank goodness Daniel Tigers Neighborhood and Caillou didn’t make this list. I would be so 😡mad
@JudgeDunfeeTheParkitecterShows from Playhouse Disney should be on this list. Like Bear in the Big Blue House, Stanley, Out of the Box
@BrocktonLazarus3397Here is a list of top 10 educational TV shows that I know:
10. Arthur. Ugh, I hate that show. The show's lessons and tough topics ruin my life. And I hate all the episodes of Arthur. My least favorite Arthur episode of all time is "Buster’s Breathless", because it has Buster finding out that he has an incurable lung disease called asthma.
9. I hate Schoolhouse Rock. All the Schoolhouse Rock episodes ruin my life.
8. As for Zoboomafoo, it's okay. I dislike all the episodes of Zoboomafoo, except for the ones with pets.
7. I love Sid the Science Kid! He's such a role model. He learns everything about science around the world around him. My favorite Sid the Science Kid episode was the one where he, his dad, and Gerald go camping in his backyard.
6. I don't always love the Carmen Sandiego franchise. As for the game show, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, yeah, that is pure nightmare fuel for me.
5. Reading Rainbow is such a boring TV show. It has a theme song that I do not always love, plus all the boring books read by LeVar Burton and narrated by a celebrity.
4. I hate every The Magic School Bus book. And I don't always love every episode of The Magic School Bus. The only The Magic School Bus episode that I always love is the one where the kids learn all about butterfly camouflage.
3. I don't always love every episode of Bill Nye the Science Guy. This show drives me crazy. The only Bill Nye the Science Guy episode that I always love is the one where it teaches kids all about chemical reactions.
2. Mister Roger's Neighborhood is garbage. This PBS show, like Reading Rainbow, is very boring.
1. I love Sesame Street! It is fun to watch. My favorite Sesame Street character is Abby Cadabby. She has a wand. Her fur is pinkish purple, her hair is purple, and she has fairy wings.
I recognized Arthur, Schoolhouse Rock!, Reading Rainbow, The Magic School Bus, and Disney's Bill Nye the Science Guy.
@rodolfovargas7952Word World is educational fun and very understandalbe
@edwinblaklyWhy isn't between the Lions on the list. I'm legit mad over that lol
@jcorea0627The shows that I really hate are Yo Gabba Gabba, The Magic School Bus, Sid The Science Kid, Blue’s Clues, and Sesame Street! But I like Bill Nye The Science Guy better!
@donovanfreedman7262How many pbs kids shows are on this list?
@tyrabrasher❤❤❤
@alwinbenjaminI've seen lots of kids' shows! Even Sesame Street!
@SlipperySoapcan someone tell me where I can find "The whys and wherefores" show?
@benjaminilunga1930What about Wishbone? I personally think it should have been on this list instead of some that were.
@MegaPianoplayer1Thomas and Friends, anyone?
@cameronjacobs2719I've heard Sid the Science Kid didn’t age well due to use of motion capture.
@jameslisterthemarthplayer8322Most of my childhood was Yo Gabba Gabba and The Fresh Beat Band and Blue's clues.
@lovingloser_210Who remembers blues clues
@weatherguygmiI remember in science class during school we always watched bill Nye or the magic c school bus one of the only things that mad school bearable
and in my senior year of high school my anatomy teacher played the magic school bus when c made me very happy
I think Little Einsteins should of been on the list. That is one of the greatest shows ever.
@hannahbond2347Electric Company and 3-2-1 Contact
@seniorguapo908I never knew that where on earth is Carmen San Diego was a game show
@cyberwolf2383These kids shows are actually useful and are what children need to watch instead of other annoying and dumb kids shows that are not as inspiring.
@mariobabbo3497Who's your Favorite Character in Magic School Bus?
@2kevins933Why do i think I heard this song before 2:33
@aidenracecar728Where’s Between the Lions, Word Girl and Pinky Dinky Doo?
@madeleinemcgregor2855What about kids incorporated with the bloodhound gang or the electric company, mr wizards world, brain games was a good one but then again i remember when Nickelodeon was called pinwheel.
@joemercer9493I grew up with Sesame Street!!! I love it so much!!!!
@sarahplatt5124I'm glad that Blue's Clues was at least an honorable mention. It was somehow very educating than what some people out there think. It actually taught important lessons about handling feelings, emotions, and imagination. It even taught some aspects of science. Also, that show was inspired by Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. Even Mr. Rogers himself loved the show. Furthermore, Mr. Rogers mentored one of the Co-Creators of Blue's Clues.
@robbyosborne9708Today News: Conjunction Junction's function has been unknown since 1973. Also notice the word OR was written on an open top hopper, which carries iron ORE
