Aww, I miss the PBS KIds GO! days!!! 😭💚 HOW HAS IT BEEN TWO DECADES??? Maya & Miguel, Arthur, WordGirl, Cyberchase, WordGirl, and Fetch with Ruff Ruffman were my absolute favs!
Thanks for the video I remember watching shows like Fetch, Electric Company, WordGirl, Maya and Miguel & Cyberchase. On my local PBS station at the time, SCETV South Carolina.
I Remember Watching PBS Kids Go And Shows Like Arthur, Cyberchase, Fetch, The Electric Company (2009), Wordgirl And Maya & Miguel On My PBS Station In The Late 2000s To Early 2010's. Louisiana Public Broadcasting (LPB), Lafayette, LA
I remember PBS GO! Fetch with Ruff Ruffman, and Wordgirl was my jam when I was a kid. And electric company and Martha Speaks is another favorite of mine.
3:04/13:22/19:56 These are some the few PBS Kids shows to feature well known voice talent. Paco was voiced by the same VA who does Rocko & Denzel Crocker. Maggie was voiced by one of Charlie's Angels. Dr. Two Brains was voiced by SpongeBob. Izzy was voiced by pre-establish young Clifford & Allie from Curious George (along with then future Lamie from Doc McStuffins). Jake was voiced by Beast Boy & Kevin Levin.
I remember when I first watched that block all the way back in 2006, which is when I first watched “Fetch! With Ruff Ruffman”, one of my favorite shows from that block! 😃 Those were the best days! 😁 However, I was sad that PBS got rid of that block in Fall 2013. 😢
Happy 20th Anniversary to the BEST N’ ONLY PBS Kids Educational Television Brand for OLDER Kids, even ones Hitting ADOLESCENCE (October 11th 2004-2024) ❤🎉😅😊🎊🎈🎏🎂🎁👍
Oh man PBS Kids Go! was kinda The N, TeenNick, or Kids WB styled that was after my time but I once in a good while watched those Season 8 to Season 14 Arthur reruns, WordGirl was witty, and Maya & Miguel had a nice theme song for a "preschool show".
I remember Watching that Block on My Local PBS Station, GBH 2. My Favorite Shows on the PBS KIDS GO Block were Arthur, Maya & Miguel, Postcards From Buster and Word Girl
21:35 And not only would they outlast PBS KIDS GO, but also have some fun crossover with fellow PBS KIDS characters. So far there's Odd Squad, Nature Cat & Molly of Denali, who's next for them. I've also developed a headcanon reason regarding their tech being Odd Squad in origin (all based on their first crossover), not to mention that "Panda Power Up" sorta justifies why Odd Squad facilities run on organic resources (primarily food).
11:44 Design Squad Was A Cool Show For Me And Engineering Is A Theme For The Show But The Intro & The Theme Song For The Show Was 🔥🔥🔥. If This Show Aired On A Different Network Like Nickelodeon Back In The Day, I Could Not Watch It If It On Cable TV And Have To Get DVD Copies Of Season 1.2 And 3 Of The Original Design Squad. Love That Show!! 😍❤
Glad that this is back with a discussion on one of the blocks on the channel, I did watch a few of these growing up like Arthur, Cyberchase, Wordgirl and Animalia on ABC Kids (Australia) then a bit of Fetch and Wild Kratts in this country's feed of Discovery Kids.
I miss PBS Kids Go! good old days, the block was nostalgic I remember Arthur, Cyberchase, Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman, The Electric Company (2009) reboot, Maya and Miguel and even Wild Kratts when I was in preschool and elementary school I thought Martha Speaks, Curious George and Between the Lions were on the PBS Kids Go! block.
I used to have memories that I watched Arthur, Cyberchase, Wordgirl, Fetch!, The Electric Company, Maya and Miguel, Fizzy's Lunch Lab, and Wild Kratts. I didn’t realize about Martha Speaks was on this part of programming block
PBS GO! was serene just like for example PBS Kids when I lived in Vancouver, BC I remember this old block b/c of Fetch!, WordGirl, Martha Speaks, Clifford the Big Red Dog and Cyberspace (Cyberchase) :) PBS GO!는 제가 BC주 밴쿠버에 살았을 때 PBS 키즈처럼 고요했습니다!, 워드걸, 마사 스피크스, 클리포드 더 빅 레드독, 사이버스페이스의 오래된 블록 b/c가 기억납니다(사이버체이스) :)
Happy anniversary to this program block. And a good happy 25 years for this program block as a whole. The first 3 mentioned I've seen. Electric Company and Design Squad, I've seen a little bit of, but the rest I haven't seen nor heard of.
15:18 I know there's a fan story on TH-cam somewhere where it picks up after the series ended and has a little crossover with Whyatt Beanstalk from Super Why. (Something I had personally conceptualized back when both shows aired back in their day)
@@LNER4771 Maya & Miguel when they came out, it couldn't have been at a more appropriate time, because at that time, I was entering the 10th grade and was about to take my first year of Spanish class. In addition to the Spanish I was learning at school, I was able to pick up some additional Spanish from Maya & Miguel.
It has been TWENTY YEARS THANK YOU for acknowledging this - I was afraid I was the only one who remembered any of this (and I'm still learning how to make content 😅) Genuine question here - who/what companies own these programs now? Why are they not still on air on PBS or PBS Kids? Is it copyright issues, is the educational information outdated, or does some 'higher-up' just not want to?
I was seven years old and in first grade when this block first aired in 2004, though I think "Maya and Miguel" was actually partially produced by an affiliate in Los Gatos, California. I'm also surprised as to how you didn't mention the "Real Life Friends" segments which aired at the end of the show, some of which I have worried are at risk of becoming lost media today. But not entirely at the same time-being that only two California PBS affiliates still air the show, which are KLCS and KVCR-DT in Los Angeles and San Bernardino respectively. When it first aired, I didn't pay much attention to the 2009 reboot of "The Electric Company", as at least on an affiliate where I live (WNET), it wasn't on until after 5pm and only aired on Fridays at first. However, I did watch it more often after Monday September 7, 2009, when it started airing every weekday, and gradually grew to enjoy it. In part because of its soundtrack, even though I didn't immediately recognize Lin at first. At present, only ten complete episodes out of the 52 released are available freely on TH-cam.
I remember watching Arthur, Cyberchase, SciGirls, Wild Kratts, The Electric Company, WordGirl, FETCH! & Maya & Miguel back in the 2010s on WTTW & WYIN (also a kids channel on DT-3)
Has anyone ever archived the several bumpers that PBS Kids Go made over the years? 5:28 I know that Primal Screen (the studio behind Jelly, Ben & Pogo) did many of the Go Figure segments.
Oh yeah I remember PBS Kids Go! that was childhood on the school computer and PBS Kids Kids 13 Arthur WordGirl, Martha Speaks Ruff Ruffman Electric Company, Wild Kratts and Cyberchase were childhood
PBS Kids GO! was nice 15 yrs ago that was a boosting-up channel in elementary school & middle school rarely when i was a kid and pre-teen that was a good vibe just like PBS Kids, Arthur, WordGirl, Martha Speaks, Curious George, Fetch!, Maya & Miguel, dead-on Cyberchase and even BiZ Kids but Curious George was relaxin' at 3 on before Arthur or iG Martha Speaks :)
18:14 My personal favorite. Also, how many were somewhat taken aback when William Jackson Harper showed up in "The Good Place" (as a main character no less)?
I beg to differ. Martha Speaks' definitions usually seemed to come completely out of nowhere. WordGirl's was worked more organically into the episode plot.
26:49/26:50 Do you think that some of the post-2013 shows might fit the GO aesthetic (like Odd Squad, Molly of Denali, or even 2019's Carmen Sandiego)?
15:45 Isn't this based on a book of the same name? I also feel like this is one of, if not the, only PBS KIDS shows that focus more on story rather than education.
Didn't this show's end had Tyrannicus reformed and the Animalians venturing out into the "real world" (you can find it on TH-cam)? Apparently, there were also plans for a third season which didn't occur.
I'm curious, will you ever do a video about The Game? It was a block on PBS in the late 90s that was basically the late 90s equivalent to PBS Kids Go. It aired shows like Arthur, Magic School Bus, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Kratts Creatures, Wishbone, and Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego
I never grew up watching the Game, so probably not. But, I still have other videos planned covering programming on PBS Kids and the adult shows on PBS.
That was in my episode covering A Prairie Home Companion. You can see the spotlight itself in this video collection: th-cam.com/video/RktV57RX6gU/w-d-xo.html
PBS is basically America's equivalent of the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation.), though, not as centralized as the BBC. If PBS Kids is our equivalent of CBeebies, then PBS Kids Go would probabl be our equivalent of CBBC (Children's BBC). A children's channel for older kids, contrasting with the other one generally meant for younger kids.
I remember Arthur, Martha Speaks, WordGirl and a little bit of Wild Kratts on PBS Kids Go! when I was little 💕

Oh and also Cyberchase

Stick around. I have much more coming. Or, feel free to browse the back catalog of TiPB episodes.

oh how I miss my childhood all my life
17:42 THE ELECTRIC COMPAAANNY
Yes! The Electric Company show is fire!
I love Wild Kratts!
I still remember the block of where in the world is carmen sandiego and then Wishbone
I wonder if you might do a future "This is Public Broadcasting" on both their Sprout series and their preschool block?
LET’S GO!
*LITERALLY*
13:54 That name would be familiar to Molly of Denali fans.
Originally the Game block on PBS those mid-late 90s.
6:22 I wonder how this worked with the continuity of the original series?
It has been TWENTY YEARS
THANK YOU for acknowledging this - I was afraid I was the only one who remembered any of this (and I'm still learning how to make content 😅)

Probably a combination of all three.

The channel @itspeeebs has quite a few of the bumpers that were broadcast in the Fort Wayne area.

I remember watching arthur cyberchase worgirl wild kratts maya and Miguel fetch with ruff ruff man and electric company and my pbs station is CPTV.
18:14 My personal favorite.
Also, how many were somewhat taken aback when William Jackson Harper showed up in "The Good Place" (as a main character no less)?
18:55/19:44 Lin Manuel Miranda would later sing the theme song for 2017's Magic School Bus & co-compose the theme song for Alma's Way.
I also know there's a video on Priscilla's "Bad Girl Gone Good-Ish" channel where she & Dominic Colón had a little reunion session.
I loved Wordgirl! But I think Martha Speaks did a better job explaining vocabulary and words
I beg to differ. Martha Speaks' definitions usually seemed to come completely out of nowhere. WordGirl's was worked more organically into the episode plot.
@@LNER4771That’s true. I respect your opinion
@@LNER4771 Sorry if I offended you
26:49/26:50 Do you think that some of the post-2013 shows might fit the GO aesthetic (like Odd Squad, Molly of Denali, or even 2019's Carmen Sandiego)?
Not to mention that some of the interstitial segments often featured many raps & hip-hop songs?
I still can't believe that they shut down this block
15:45 Isn't this based on a book of the same name?

Nothing really. Going to take a breather after putting together this video, and the last one about Lackadaisy.
