My family has never had cable so I didn't grow up watching Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, or Nickelodeon. Instead, I grew up watching old TV shows, like I Love Lucy and PBS Kids. Below is a list of the absolute best PBS Kids shows. Fun fact: If the show had a Halloween episode then it's my favorite.

1. Fetch With Ruff Ruffman

Fun fact: Nothing will ever top the Halloween episode where they were locked in the haunted mansion and had to solve the mystery. Also, I wanted nothing more than to be a contestant on the show.

2. Cyber Chase

Fun fact: Gilbert Gottfried is the voice of Digit, aka the bird from Cyber Chase, and is also the voice of Iago, aka the bird from Aladdin.

3. Electric Company

Fun fact: actor William Jackson Harper who plays Danny Rebus, one of the villains in this show, also plays Chidi Anagonye on a new hit TV show called The Good Place. Basically, I cannot see him as anyone but Danny and it's a bit of a problem.

4. Zoboomafoo

Fun Fact: basically everything I know about lemurs I learned from the Kratt brothers.

5. Wild Kratts

Fun fact: Remember Zoboomafoo? Remember the brothers? These are the same ones but in cartoon form and minus the monkey.

6. Arthur

Fun fact: "Having fun isn't hard when you have a library card" are words to live by.

7. Curious George

Fun fact: I really want to get a kitten and name it gnocchi.

8. Between The Lions

Fun fact: Cliiiiif Hanger! Hanging from a cliiiiiiff! And that's why he's called Cliff Hangeeerrr!

9. Dragon Tales

Fun fact: If you didn't start reciting "I wish, I wish, with all my heart, to fly with dragons in a land apart" every time you found a pretty rock did you even have a childhood?

10. Maya and Miguel

Fun fact: Watching Maya and Miguel always made me hungry and I still don't know why.

11. Word Girl

Fun fact: This is the show that taught me my favorite word--tangent. Don't ask why it's my favorite because I honestly don't know.

12. Clifford the Big Red Dog

Fun fact: Have I ever steered you wrong?

13. Sesame Street

Fun fact: Oscar the Grouch was, and still is, my favorite
