RIP to Poptropica - I’ve lost hope that you will ever get your islands back (The *good* ones. The *hard* ones. The thought provoking and honestly devastatingly sad ones. Cryptid, Monster Carnival, Mystery Train, Game Show….Come back to meeeee)

RIP to Webkinz - I can’t keep buying new pets to keep playing the game if you NO LONGER SELL THE PETS (I’m not buting those frickin ugly new ones and I’m certainly not buying just the code; I want a physical lil fluffball to watch as their online persona absolutely destroys Smoothie Moves)

RIP to Club Penguin - New Club Penguin and Club Penguin Rewritten will never be the same (Also give me more PSA missions you cowards, I can take it!)

RIP to Pixie Hollow - I haven’t played you since I was 7 years old but then you died and it was awful

RIP to the games on the websites of Nick Jr., PBS Kids, and Disney - They did you so dirty, you used to be ten times the size you are now (Backyardigans Robin Hood the Clean and that one Electric Company game - I miss you)

RIP to Build-a-Bear - both the online virtual world game and the workshop (The stores have been devoid of life at *least* since Justice moved online)

RIP to Innerstar University and all of the good American Girl Doll games - I was so good at that cupcake baking job

RIP to my 2010s childhood, which died with the Adobe flash player and honestly way before that 😔

The holy trinity of PBS Kids Evil Inventors

#pbs kids go #pbs kids #wild kratts #wild kratts zach #wordgirl #wordgirl tobey #the electric company #the electric company 2009 #prankster planet #rule of thumb #if a PBS Kids show has some form of evil inventor as its antagonist it's more likely going to be a G.O.A.T. #Ik Wordgirl and Electric Company are long cancelled but I thought I'd shine some light on them #Seriously if you can go watch Electric Company on Hulu AND play Prankster Planet on Flashpoint that shit's fire fr

I got a Youtube recommendation of this short cartoon that appeared in an old 70's tv show called "The Electric Company". Gladys is cute.

This little segment from The Electric Company plays in my head every time I see the intro sequence.

“I think the T went out for a coffee!”

Most people probably think of Lin-Manuel Miranda as the Hamilton guy, but personally I know him as the ‘Silent E is a Ninja guy’.

The first time I ever saw him was in an episode of the Electric Company where he sang a song about silent e. I had no idea who he was, so he was just the “Silent E is a Ninja” guy to me.

Years later, Hamilton became very popular and I was like OH MY GOD, ITS SILENT E IS A NINJA GUY!

#listening to the song while writing this post #still a bop #Silent E is a Ninja #lin manuel miranda #Electric Company #the electric company #hamilton musical #song #funny #video #Youtube #sidenote: this video is 14 YEARS OLD??? #HOW?? #I would’ve been 8 when it was released.. #I swear I was older then that when the show started airing #it can’t have been that long right?? #I mean.. I guess it checks out #just look at that video quality. crunchy

PBS Kids Shows I Have Nostalgia For

Sesame Street (don’t @ me, it was the only thing on at 7:00 am or whenever the heck I’d wake up for school)

Super Why! (didn’t mind it. The pea girl actually inspired one of my current EAH OCs)

The Magic School Bus (duh)

Bill Nye the Science Guy (duh again)

Arthur (not my fav, but a classic)

Clifford (I was OBSESSED with the movie as a kid)

Liberty’s Kids (my dad showed it to us via YouTube. It’s amazing)

Curious George (didn’t like it as much, but it was on all the damn time, so I still remember a lot about it. Now I feel a tad bit of nostalgia for it)

Word Girl (not my fav for SOME REASON. Love it upon rewatching it. Still loved the villains as a kid)

Word World (rarely watched it, but sometimes caught it, and it facinated me)

Martha Speaks (yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhh baby now we’re talking. Mainly my sib’s fav, but I grew to love it, and we named our dog Martha. I also have most of the theme song memorized)

Sid the Science Kid (hated it, but I had a short attention span, so I would watch it anyways. Might’ve had a crush on the teacher. I liked the repetative formula. I still remember the germs episode)

The Electric Company (2009) (underrated. Facinated by the lore. Love the opening. Cried when it was cancelled)

Dinosaur Train (same feelings as Curious George)

The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That (I found it both annoying and fun)

Wild Kratts (FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:DDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!! This show was my special interest for years. It goes hard. My dad still makes references to it. We memorized the theme song. I love this show so much. Martin was my biggest crush at the time. I would die for this show)

Odd Squad (Masterpiece. Can’t get enough of it. Didn’t watch every season, but still love it to death. Bought the movie and I still watch it sometimes. Mom loves it too. Me and my sib would never miss an episode. I still remember the premiere. We were eating breakfast in front of the tv, when a new show came on. “Huh, must be a new show,” my mom said. We decided to just sit through it and watch the first episode. And oh boy, by the time it ended, I decided that I was gonna watch this show every morning and Wild Kratts every afternoon. And that’s how it all began. Still need to finish the series)

~~~~~

So yeah, I was a huge PBS Kids kid growing up. Didn’t have cable, and I’m honestly glad, because then I wouldn’t have had all these growing up. And I’m so glad I had them.
