Staying home sick always meant educational shows. My parents had decided that if I wasn't at school, I was going to at least be learning something. I have no idea what I was supposed to learn, but seeing these now, I have to admit I'm getting a little dizzy and nauseous.
WHY DO YOU THINK THEY CALL IT PROGRAMMING?

Just the first ten seconds of this hint at something sinister. The puppets don't help.
Performing "experiments" in the house got me in trouble.
No. This is not what you want to see when you've spent the morning puking.
And there is a theme song I cannot escape.
"Hi, there, nice people." He's so affable. I'm pretty sure he's got bodies in the basement, stacked like cordwood.
His arm came off. That's not the worst part.
"The Secret City" was one of the more out there shows. I suppose it eventually led me to better appreciate the covers of sci-fi paperbacks, but I don't remember learning how to draw from it.
And it all comes back to Kevin Bacon. You're welcome.

I recall watching Secret City a lot and think I owe my early interest in drawing because of it.
Oh here's some I had to see!

Of course if it was already summer, your PBS station was probably doing this during the time you out of school...

Typical the TV Guide would call that period of time "Instructional Programming" in their books, and that's all it pretty much was.
God now you got me doing that song as well!

I'm sorry I missed these shows when they aired. I would've wasted a lot of VHS tape on this stuff.
You would Danno!
I wish I had knew it sooner or later before it was all gone.
Chris, dude. That's not a comment. That's a WHOLE NEW POST.
Also, Letterpeople never aired here, but that is some swinging stuff.

Yeah I should've done better, but you were first and I didn't want to intrude with a new post just for that.

I guess I was luckier for having been expose to that back in the 1st grade!
Not intrude? Go ahead! You can say I "inspired you"....
Yeah, I do get support from 'viewers like you', thank you!
