Forgotten PBS Kids Shows?

I remember that I used to grew up with PBS Kids first when I was little bitty girl. The shows I watched were Sesame Street, Wordgirl and Arthur. There’s also some underrated classic shows such as Sagwa The Siamese Cat, Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman and Zaboomafoo. However, what about two TV shows I forgot? Let’s talk about which one show I considered it the best and the other to be worst.


BEST:

📚 Between The Lions 🦁

Believe it or not this show was made by the same creators behind Sesame Street. However, Between The Lions was the best forgotten PBS Kids show! It teaches kids about language arts. Heck! I even learned how to read when I was little because of this show. Speaking of language art, it had memorable scenes that are charming for anyone especially adults would sit through. What I recalled is The Cliff Hanger segment his catchphrase is “CAN’T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER!!!” and the animation in this segment felt smooth.



Like Sesame Street, Between The Lions had some creative and interesting sketches. The theme song from above was beautiful and dynamic! I’m sure that the creators behind two shows are good at educating and entertaining young children at the same time because of Jim Henson who is one of the most influential puppeteers. I considered Between The Lions to be the best forgotten PBS Kids show like I said once again!




WORST:


🐭 Angelia Ballerina 🩰

Oh boy! I thought Caillou was a terrible role model! But, Angelia Ballerina is equally worse than him. Let me demonstrate why Angelia herself was one of the worst role models for young viewers. In the above, it shows one scene from “Angelia’s Baby Sister” where the main character throws a temper tantrum and being such a histrionic little vermin! I swear! Her crying that sounds like nails on chalkboard makes me want to pull out the mousetraps! I’m sorry! I mean when they tried to make a relatable show for little children. Do they needed to be exposed with temper tantrums!?


I’m also not kidding about the other episode where Angelia once again had a meltdown in “Miss Lily Is Leaving”. Little children don’t needed to be watching others have meltdowns! Their minds are fragile and moldable. Plus, I don’t condone talking down to children. If you want to let your kids watch some relatable shows! Just stick to Arthur for now! Arthur was a decent role model for young children compare to these two bratty characters that shouldn’t be shown in front of their attended audiences! I can’t believe England has shown a terrible role model to children alongside with Horrid Henry and Peppa Pig! I thought England was really good at children’s entertainment like Postman Pat, Bob The Builder, Kipper and Noddy In Toyland! While the reboot called, “Angelia Ballerina: The Next Steps” had gotten the main character much better. But the reboot is boring and the animation was so-so unlike the original where the previous animation looks decent regardless of the unlikable characters and shallow writing. To add salt into the wound, they added Justin Bieber in one of the cast in this reboot! Justin Bieber is even an atrocious role model for youths and he’s one of the worst singers in music history! I considered Angelia Ballerina to be the worst forgotten PBS Kids show!
