PBS Kids: All Grown Up

You didn't think your favorite PBS Kids characters were stuck in time, did you?

PBS Kids: All Grown Up

Ever wondered where your favorite PBS Kid’s Characters ended up? While you were growing up and moving on, so were your childhood friends.

Arthur:

Arthur graduated early from a prestigious University, and is now running as the Republican candidate for mayor for his hometown, Elwood.

DW

DW was always a bit of a brat, and has been called other B words more recently. She goes by just “Dora” now, and is currently attending Indiana University as an English major. She always did have a way with words.

Clifford:

Clifford shrunk in his old age to about the size of a mini van, and is now more of a coral color. He’s happily retired on Birdwell Island.

The Dragon Tales Gang:

Max and Emmy were always very convincing (their mom actually believed they played in their playroom all day, for goodness sakes) and grew up to star in a brother-sister infomercial for quesadilla makers.

We're pretty sure that the rest of the gang lives happily in Dragonland. That is, if Zack and Wheezy were separated before the age of 12.

Teletubbies:

The teletubbies gang cancelled their show and moved their separate ways after “creative differences”. Po, the most famous Teletubby, and the baby sun (all grown up, of course) eloped after many years of friendship turned into true love.

Zoboomafoo:

Unfortunately, as you may have heard, our dear friend Zoboomafoo passed away last November at the age of 20 from kidney failure. Looks like he’s going on a trip without us this time.

Elmo:

Elmo’s voice did eventually drop, around the same age most boys’ do. He put some clothes on as well, and is now working as a dolphin trainer show at the Shedd Aquarium, with his pal Dorothy.

Cyberchase:

Matt grew up to be just as attractive as you thought he would, and decided to put his hacking skills to good use as a computer science major. The girls, it turns out, didn't really like math, and after helping Inez with a fashion makeover, Jackie started her own line of clothing.

Caillou:

Caillou unfortunately never grew hair, and started an alopecia awareness club in college. He graduated with a communications degree and got a job as a spokesperson for Bosley, the hair transplant surgery company.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
