![]() After the recent ABC-bashing thread, I thought I'd add a positive one. Anybody else love PBS?
Today I'm showing "Warrior Challenge: Episode I (Romans)" in my classes. The kids are into it. Give me a good history documentary (or reality show, in this case) and I'm happy. ![]() - Jake

![]() I love PBS too. I think it often brings some much needed history and culture to our abyssmal world of television. Plus, volunteering to answer the phones on their annual money drives is so much fun. Last time I got to see the set of Zoom.

![]() I truly do love PBS. From their history specials to travel programs to the programming they bring from other countries (Made In Canada and The Newsroom are two of my favorite shows of all time), PBS brings a variety of great programing to the airways. Wow. I sound like a public service announcement for PBS.

On our station they puts the playhouse series on (i can't think of what it's actually called). For instance, recently they've been showing The Women starring Cynthia Nixon (with a host of other famous actresses as well) and they've also show Crazy For You and a few other musicals and plays. Even though BBC plays them now, Coupling is on PBS here as is Monarch of the Glen, both of which I really like (Jake, you actually remind me of the one guy on Monarch ![]()

![]() I had the misfortune to work for a PBS affiliate. As a result, I will never again donate a single dollar to PBS. To see how funds raised by the station were misused by management would turn your stomach. Fancy catered luncheons & dinners for board members, lavish banquets & balls meant to lure high-dollar contributors (it didn't work), Cell phones for everyone at the station-and the money spent on constantly redecorating offices alone would blow your mind. I kinda went off PBS altogether after that experience. But once upon a time, yeah, I'll admit, I did like their shows.

![]() I love PBS...but never really had an appreciation for it until I started working at an NPR affiliate...and right upstairs from us is a PBS affiliate...and also my appreciation has grown since my nephew has been around...
The children's programming is really good, especially Magic School Bus...very cool..and most of them are very educational..which is also good... As for me, the PBS station here shows a couple of Brit-coms which I love and I also enjoy history programs etc... |

![]() I love it as well, but I hardly ever watch it... or any TV for that matter. Too many siblings hogging the television 24/7
