In Kentucky it’s called KET (Kentucky Educational Television).

Sesame Street
Reading Rainbow
Where In the World is Carmen Sandiego?
This Old House w/Bob Vila

I loved Carmen Sandiego. I would’ve dominated the maps.

We did but the way it is today we probably wouldn’t have been allowed to watch as much.

I think my channel was somewhere between 7-10. It did come on after Reading Rainbow. I think Curious George was on KET as well.

I watched Bob Ross to. Happy little trees

Of course. Everything you listed.

I used to leave class in elementary school and go to the library to play Carmen Sandiego, so when that came out as a show it was the best thing ever.

I'm surprised my dad didn't smack the hell out of me for listening to Rockapella as much as I did though

Antiques Roadshow is still going strong on there. I can’t believe someone remembered Pinwheel.
