As i think about the state of chilodren's programming and as it gets more stupid and ridiculous, i think of all the great shows that were. I omagine in 5 years' time, we'll be teaching our 5-year-olds about the dangers of heroin.
Gullah Gullah Island: Tought about things. It was educational and they sang songs every two minutes!
Little Bear: Good stories and everything.
Blue's Clues: Before Steve had to leave "to college" and ruin it. Now, Blue is a freaking puppet.
Zoom: The first 3 years of the new version were very good, then it got dumber. Then it got canceled.
All of the Nickelodeon game shows: GUTS, Legends of the Hidden Temple, What Would You Do?, Double Dare, etc. Now they have absolutely nothing.
Bill Nye the Science Guy: Enough said.
Popular Mechanics for Kids: Yep.
Now all the good kids have is this: Spongebob, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, i can't think of anything else. Sad.

Bill Nye rocks. I've even got his theme song on MP3.
But what ever happened to Beakman's World? Did they ever put that back on the air, or has poor ol' Beakman been relegated to crummy old VHS tapes the world over?
