A Perfect Example of Great Children's Television Programming

nettrice

...not on PBS.

There was a magical time in the history of television where some of the greatest programming aimed at children and teens could all be found in one place...and not on cable! Being the age that I am, I had the great fortune of being the perfect age to enjoy many of the great shows that entertained millions during the "golden years" of children television programming on network TV.

Pee Wee's Playhouse was the beginning of the end of the golden age that included Sesame Street, Electric Company, 3-2-1 Contact, etc. In fact, PWP seemed perfect for PBS if not for the obvious appeal it had with teens and young adults (as well as children).

It was a great time because you didn't have to be a little kid or afford cable to enjoy Pee Wee and his friends.

Sigh...good times, good times.
