25 Ways You Know that You Watched PBS Kids as a Child

If you grew up in the 90s or the early 2000s (and your family didn't want to buy cable), you probably got to watch a lot of PBS Kids as a child. This channel brought countless lovable characters and memories into my life, as I'm sure it did for you. So, it's time for a quick throwback. Here are a few ways you can tell that you used to watch the shows on PBS Kids, back in the day.

1. You learned endless wisdom about life from Arthur and his friends.

2. Your biggest aspiration in life was to be on "Zoom."

"Come on and zoom!"

3. You wished you had friends as cool as Cleo and T-Bone.

4. Cliffhanger made you a little nervous, every time you watched "Between the Lions."

Can't. Hold. On. Much. LONGER!

5. Muffy was your spirit animal.

6. You never forgot that this was 100% juice.

7. You wanted a magical dragon scale more than anything.

8. You never questioned why there was a baby's face on the sun in Teletubbyland.

9. Or why these planes had human faces.

And now you wonder how you could watch Jay Jay the Jet-Plane as a child and not be afraid. Just look at that face...

10. Your only motivation for learning math was so you could help Jackie, Matt and Inez defeat the Hacker.

11. These two were #siblinggoals for you.


12. This show was always an hour well spent.

13. When no one was watching, you sat on a round rug and tried to do this.

And you probably pulled a muscle too.

14. You actually remember Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat.

15. You can still sing this intro song.


16. You always wondered why this kid was bald.

And you know how to pronounce his name, which is saying something.

17. You really wanted a pet talking lemur, because of this show.

Chris and Martin (and Jovian the lemur) were literally the best ever.

18. It was always disappointing when you had to hear the same Speckle and Friends story twice.

19. You knew about George Shrinks before you knew about Ant-Man.

20. Whenever you heard the tune for "Yankee Doodle", you thought of the words to Barney's theme song instead.

21. LeVar Burton's show is the main reason for why you enjoy reading today.

22. So is Wishbone.

23. You really wanted Buster to come visit your house and learn about your city.

24. You always wondered just how many sweaters Mister Rogers owned.

25. You can still quote this intro that played before every show on the PBS channel.

"...and by contributions to your PBS station from viewers like you. Thank you."

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
