Hi there,
I promised myself that I'd stop this, but I can't help it. Why leave out
current quality children's programming examples?
We just saw an Arthur episode on PBS the other day where Arthur and his
pals wanted to go see their favorite group, Binky (who look suspiciously
like ABBA), perform. Turns out they are holograms. (OH NO!)
Then yesterday Arthur and his pal Buster auditioned musicians to be in
their band (vaguely reminiscent of the audition scene in the movie, The
Commitments).
Those kids, er, puppets, on Puzzle Place can really rock whenever they've
got an important moral to hammer out.
Let's not forget that Mr. Rogers tickles the ivories whenever the mood
strikes and quite frequently jams with guests like Yo Yo Ma.
And last but not least (for now), "You Gotta Put Down the Ducky (if you
wanna play the saxophone)" with Hoot the Owl and Ernie on Sesame Street.
Bowing out before I embarass myself any further,
Jeanne
