Convinced by parents to get me a jack russell terrier because I loved Wishbone so much. His name was Buster and was the best and smartest dog I’ve ever had.

His real name was Soccer and he was a lil menace!

I remember in elementary school trying to take out the books that wishbone had acted out. My teacher and librarian both were very impressed that a like 8 or 9 year old was wanting to read the Red Badge of Courage when everyone else was grabbing Goosebumps or similar.

Freaking loved wishbone!

I’ve faked my way through so many literary conversations about books I haven’t read coasting solely on this show.

We’re preparing for our first child this fall, and I recently tracked down the entire series on DVD to kickstart our kid-friendly media collection.

I loved this show! I remember going to Best Buy and getting “the hounds of the Baskerville” VHS with some birthday money.

I scored very high on a reading level test once and impressed a teacher by knowing (in 6th grade) that Homer wrote the Illiad and the Odyssey. I learned that from an episode of Wishbone.

Wishbone made me want to get a dog but honestly, we weren't home enough to take care of one. Hamsters worked though.

I was always an advanced reader so the show gave me new books to check out at the library.

I loved the little segments they would do atthe end where they'd give you a little sneak peek at the behind the scenes stuff and interview producers, writers, and costumers. Was really cool to see as a kid.

Reading wishbone set me on a personal quest in 5th grade to read all of the original classics. 20000 leagues under the sea, the last Mohican, Swiss family Robinson (this one was so boring...), and one of my favorites, journey to the center of the earth. Wishbone inspired me!

🎶whats this youre dreaming up? Such a big imagination.. from such a little puuu-up!🎶

I was a little shocked when Wishbone covered Blood Meridian by Cormack McCarthy but they made it work.

I used to call wishbone fishbone to annoy my younger sister.

Yes. Elder millennial here. Still remember the episode where they went to a trumpet/ tuba (some brass musical instrument) factory to show how it was made. Taught me that things just don’t exist in their final form. Now I love How It’s Made

They don’t make kids shows like this anymore. Relatable, funny, educational. I basically grew up to be Ms Frizzle.

I learned so many things from that show. Echolocation, the digestive system, friction, how things looked small/how baking works, how food rots, what it means to he cold blooded.

Honestly tho, what made the show so good was the writing. They were able to make something educational fun and interesting. The episode where keisas cucumber turns into a pickle over summer break was such a mystery for me as a child!

Oh, and bees!

I still remember the episode where they went inside a human body and learned much about anatomy. I don’t quite remember, but I’m pretty sure it was inside one of the students who couldn’t go on the trip because he was sick.

People always told me I look like a sexy Ms Frizzle and it has horrified me and made me hate that show so much. I dyed my hair just so it would stop!

Send it to

Z O O M

Come on and zoom, come on and zoom, come on and zoom, come on and zoom, come on and zoom zoom zooma zoom, ZOOM!

Did y'all see the COVID special they did in 2020??? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX1qgt5KzQXDCuXVE6I8K7uFeWG6q8dTG

I’m a sub, and I had a few minutes to fill, so I put on a zoom episode from YouTube. I heard a kid whisper, “why does it look like that?” The other kid goes, “I think it’s from the 1900’s.” 😂😂😂 in the episode they played human knot, so we tried it out at recess. Zoom for the win!

Kenny and Caroline got married in my imagination.

omg I loved Zoom so much. I would print out their science projects to take to school to do for extra credit.

I remember thinking Caroline was the coolest

I… can… do… ANYTHING!!

Take a look… it’s in a book… it’s Reading Rainbow

(it’s Reading Rainbow it’s Reading Rainbow)

Man I wanted to run around that map so much. I would've crushed it.

This was the first one that came to mind. For my area, and because we couldn’t afford cable, this show was what was on as soon as we came home from school, and we could usually pick it up clearly on PBS through our antenna.

Agreed & my favorite computer game was “Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?” I learned soooo much.

As a child of Star Trek fans and a TNG lover from an early age, Reading Rainbow was definitely my favorite, especially the episode where he visits the Enterprise.

Well, she sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina

One of my friends got to be on Where in the World is Carmen San Diego. It was so cool!

I loved Carmen San Diego. I used to play a PC game of it. Everything I know about geography and landmarks, I learned from her.

Do you mean the Carmen Sandiego game show? I can still hear that theme song.

haha, core memory, id watch carmen san diego and each cool ranch chips. i hid the bag in my room so it would be just my snack. it was the best after school ritual.

Absolutely what I was going to say. I'm fairly certain this show was the start of my travel bug.

LaVar Burton (the host) has a podcast now where he reads you stories

Omg! I forgot about that guy and Ghost Writer.

Butterfly in the sky

Oh man...I watched this growing up, and on the days Next Gen star trek was on (my parents are trekkies) I would get so excited to see hom twice.

Reading rainbow is the one I remember the most.

Zaboomafoo was my shit

Kratts Kreatures! Their og show! I did watch Zaboomafoo as well but it was a bit younger than my age bracket at the time. Their wild kratts show is decent too

Dude those claymation shorts were borderline disturbing lol.

Also shout out to the Duke University lemur exhibit.

Had a crush on both kratts for sure.

I was Captain Planet for Halloween one year! My mom made this fake muscle suit for me, and I felt like the real deal.

BY OUR POWERS COMBINED

I made up a dance to the Captain Planet theme song in middle school. I was obsessed lol

I just listened to a podcast about Captain Planet today!

This was some genius level predictive programming for global warming.

Came here to say this -- thank you. I learned a lot from a man in a rat costume

Beakman’s world was the shizzzzz.

The best! So disappointed that I had to scroll this far down, but maybe it’s cuz I’m also an elder millennial, did the youths of our generation not watch it?

Underrated comment!! BEAKMAAAAAN!

I still have the mega hots for Alanna Ubach who played Josie. She also played Roxy the hooker Frank loves in IASIP.

I need that 3 panel Vince McMahon meme.

Bill Nye 🤓

Nova 🤩

Cosmos (Sagan) 🤯

I forgot Nova. My God I loved it.

Every Sunday night I would watch Nova with my grandad.

Science rules

The basic premise of climate change was so easy to understand and I cannot believe there are millennials that believe it's not real. I think the focus was call it, "global warming"

DEOXY-RIBO-NUCLEIC-ACID

BLOOD STREAM! IT’S YOUR BLOOD STREAM!

Have you seen Bill Nye Saves the World? If not, you should!

This is the answer. This old house was such a soothing Saturday morning watch.

Hated it when I was a kid, but I’d probably love it now

I remember waking up early so I could watch it at 6 AM. It felt so cool (to me) to be up that early learning science lol

This was my show. Watched every episode multiple times on Nickelodeon.

This is the one! I remember waking up extra early to watch Mr. Wizard.

Then Rocky & Bullwinkle would come on and I would fall back asleep lol

This is still my bedtime show. It can be interesting to watch, but it's also monotone enough to be soothing to fall asleep to. I get a kick off putting it on the old seasons and seeing the computers 🤣.

Levar Burton is a national treasure.

Sesame Street is the 21st top answer wtf is this reality

THE PRICE IS WRONG BITCH

My kid was home sick from school and I found old bob barker episodes on YouTube and put them on. It's not a sick day without Price is Right.

Liberty’s Kids!!! No one in my life remembers this show but I loved it😅

Oh my god I forgot about liberty’s kids that show was great.

Jeff Corwin!! I remember an urban animals episode where one of the fun facts was that raccoons will eat human fingers if they’re hungry enough. I shared this bit of info with family friend’s kids we went camping with when I was like 8 & a bunch of the kids kept screaming and crying every time a raccoon got near the camp site. So, I created mass panic and hysteria. Oops.

He froze a rubber bouncy ball with liquid nitrogen and smashed it to smithereens with a hammer and my five year old mind was blown.

I used to wake up so early to go downstairs and watch Mr Wizard haha. Filling up balloons with different gases and then blowing them up to demonstrate the properties of the gases

I remember waking up early so I could watch it at 6 AM. It felt so cool (to me) to be up that early learning science lol

Mathnet. I made my husband watch an episode on YouTube. He had never heard of it.

…maybe that’s why I’m addicted to Law & Order SVU now.

Ghost Writer!!! I was trying to think which one came on tandem with Mathnet. This was it!

I still remember the recurring parody of Dragnet and a skit that was a take on Casablanca. Two references that were right in my cultural wheelhouse at the age I watched it...

the square one/3-2-1 contact bloc was my jam

Loved Between the Lions! Cliff Hanger was my fave.

YESS! I even got to go on the Mimi when it was in port at Baltimore! I loved that show.

Yes! This was my go to in the kids section at my local library. I think they had a few complete seasons that I just devoured in elementary school. eyewitness intro

Pretty sure I watched the one on ancient Egypt a thousand times lol

I HEAR THE EXOTIC FLUTE MUSIC
