My family has never had cable so I didn't grow up watching Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, or Nickelodeon. Instead, I grew up watching old TV shows, like I Love Lucy and PBS Kids. Below is a list of the absolute best PBS Kids shows. Fun fact: If the show had a Halloween episode then it's my favorite.

1. Fetch With Ruff Ruffman

Fun fact: Nothing will ever top the Halloween episode where they were locked in the haunted mansion and had to solve the mystery. Also, I wanted nothing more than to be a contestant on the show.


2. Cyber Chase

Fun fact: Gilbert Gottfried is the voice of Digit, aka the bird from Cyber Chase, and is also the voice of Iago, aka the bird from Aladdin.


3. Electric Company

Fun fact: actor William Jackson Harper who plays Danny Rebus, one of the villains in this show, also plays Chidi Anagonye on a new hit TV show called The Good Place. Basically, I cannot see him as anyone but Danny and it's a bit of a problem.


4. Zoboomafoo

Fun Fact: basically everything I know about lemurs I learned from the Kratt brothers.


5. Wild Kratts

Fun fact: Remember Zoboomafoo? Remember the brothers? These are the same ones but in cartoon form and minus the monkey.


6. Arthur

Fun fact: "Having fun isn't hard when you have a library card" are words to live by.


7. Curious George

Fun fact: I really want to get a kitten and name it gnocchi.


8. Between The Lions

Fun fact: Cliiiiif Hanger! Hanging from a cliiiiiiff! And that's why he's called Cliff Hangeeerrr!


9. Dragon Tales


Fun fact: If you didn't start reciting "I wish, I wish, with all my heart, to fly with dragons in a land apart" every time you found a pretty rock did you even have a childhood?


10. Maya and Miguel

Fun fact: Watching Maya and Miguel always made me hungry and I still don't know why.


11. Word Girl


Fun fact: This is the show that taught me my favorite word--tangent. Don't ask why it's my favorite because I honestly don't know.


12. Clifford the Big Red Dog

Fun fact: Have I ever steered you wrong?


13. Sesame Street

Fun fact: Oscar the Grouch was, and still is, my favorite

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
