I have fond memories of coming home from school on rainy days in the mid 1990's and watching PBS from about 4:00 until 6:00 when the news came on.  They had some great shows on during those years.  I distinctly remember my favorites being Arthur, Magic School Bus, and Wishbone, which all appeared in succession.  Some other good ones were Kratts Creatures, Carmen Sandiego and Reading Rainbow. 

Unfortunately, I think most of those are off the air now, although I have caught some new episodes of RR recently.  Lavar Burton is one dedicated man to stick with the show all these years; a great guy.   

Anyone else care to share thoughts on these shows or others?

I was born in 1982, so when kids shows in the 90s were popular, I was too old for them.  I never watched Barney, or any of the other shows you mentioned.  The only PBS kids show I ever remember watching was Sesame Street, but then who didn't watch that as a kid?  My sister though, she was into Wishbone and Barney and Arthur, seeing as she was  born in 1987.

You just triggered another 90's memory attack. LOL ;D

Anyway, believe it or not, I like Barney when it came on in the 90's. I can't stand him today, but I was the oposite back then. Another good one was Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. Every episode was beautiful except those opera ones. How about Lamb Chop's Playalong? Remember that one?

I love these 90's trips.

Lambchop's Play Along was good.

I watched PBS in the early 90's so I remember all this stuff. I used to watch Barney religously in '92-'93 but after that I out grew him and I pretty much outgrew watching PBS all together by '94. I do remember that we used to watch reading rainbow in our 3rd grade class back in 1995. What about Shining Time Station? I used to love that show.

Shining Time Station was an interesting one, too.  I don't remember it as much because it was on when I was younger, but I recall I was always fascinated by the tiny conudctor man who lived in the cupboard. 

Lamb Chop had the best ending song ever.  "This is the song that never ends, it just goes on and on my friend...."  Hahaha, Sherry got so mad at the puppetts by the end.  ;D 

WISHBONE!!!!!

I was obsessed with Barney until I got to Kindergarden('94) when suddenly he was uncool(anyone remember the "Tic tac toe, three in a row. Barney got shot by a G.I. Joe." song?). But before that I had everything Barney. I also remember watching Seasame Street, Thomas the Tank Engine, and of course Lamb Chop. I even have a Lamb Chop keychain on my purse right now. And then as I got older I loved the Magic School Bus, Wishbone, and Bill Nye the Science guy(heck, I still miss this show!).

Favorites were Lamb Chop, Sesame Street, Carmen Sandiago, Magic School Bus, Kratt's Creatures, Zoom (which I don't think came till about '99, so just barely considered 90s).  I thought Shining Time Station was depressing, felt the same way about Reading Rainbow and Barney....oh dude does anyone remember "The Puzzle Place"?

(It went from 1994-1998).  It was like my all-time favorite!  I used to go to my Grandma's house, watch The Puzzle Place and eat Spaghettios....awesome times.

TOTALLY  8)

I was born in '76 so I was definitely too old to be watching these shows, but somehow I remember watching some of them I guess through my younger cousin and with babysitting.

shoot, I still love watching Arthur with Vaughn....it's one of my favorite cartoons! ;)
