Does anyone else on Yea Forums watch cartoons that they aren't in the target demographic for?
>I watched Martha Speaks and countless other PBS shows in middle school
I didn't have cable, but I did have internet at the time so I'm always baffled that preteen me would watch a PBS shows before eventually going online

Amazing the things they put in educational shows
Yeah, but I mean when you were younger.
I loved that show.
Krypto the Superdog still gets a watch
>Krypto
Thanks. You just gave me a flashback to when I had to do an art project of your personal hero in third grade, and I drew a kindergarten tier picture of a dog in a cape and told my whole class that Krypto the Superdog was my hero.
I watched martha and word girl long after I should've but they were admittedly pretty good, especially word girl
This post was so wholesome it finally melted the ice around my heart.
Yeah, but kids made fun of me until I switched classes in 5th grade.
I remember still watching stanley when I was in highschool. I still think it's cool as far as toddler shows go. Much like pocoyo.
I don't know what Stanley is, but I remember being on vacation in the Philippines when I was 8 and watching Pocoyo for the first time. Turned out I watched two hours worth of episodes before I realized time had gone by. I'm honestly kinda scares that I got that sucked into it.
I've watched Arthur my entire life and never plan to stop.
Very comfy and great writing, I can't sleep without it on in the background.
Stanley could talk to animals. He had a voice-of-reason goldfish named dennis and a magic book of everything. Name was dope for me because I like animals and it was on exactly before I had to rush to highschool.
Pocoyo is simple but had based as fuck characters. To this day I still like the asshole duck and his theme song.
Jane and the Dragon
Rupert Bear
Babar
Jacob 2 2
really just qubo whenever I was at my grandma'ss
Wasn't Babar a PBS show?
READ A BOOK, NIGGER
Bluey. Bluey's good as fuck
kind of off topic but i did the same thing with the puppet show 'bananas in pyjamas', and it was also toward the end of middle school if not later.
it was just kind of a nice and pleasant thing to have on in the background. just nice characters doing nice things in non overly contrived ways, despite being puppet bananas. i think i only watched a few episodes but still, it kind of reminded me that people can be nice.
it definitely helped that the characters didn't have child voices.
cute things in general are just cute.
Wait Bananas in Pyjamas is real? I thought I imagined this as a kid.
I thought you were gonna say something about how you wanted to fuck the purple dog. I wanted to fuck the purple dog.

well i'll be dipped. they weren't puppets, they're suits!
also, it seems they've recently made the jump to cgi and it doesn't seem to have diminished the quality at all. this is quite a pleasant surprise!
youtube.com
i've definitely outgrown the show but i'm glad it'll still be around when i decide to have children.
I used to watch a bit of pic related when I was in high school, usually when I was getting ready in the morning. Maybe I'm just autistic but it was pretty neat
My friends and I sang the Jane and the Dragon intro. We were in junior year.
I used to think Sailor Moon was better than DBZ because every episode wasn't the same.
I still think Sailor Moon was better than DBZ, but DB got a better remake. SM Crystal was terrible.
I can hear the entire thing in my head rn and i watched it a handful of time I don't know how long ago
Point is, really catchy
i want to turn Martha into a bimbo
She's a big girl
Sarah and duck is chill as fuck.
>Jane and the Dragon
>Babar
>Jacob 2 2
Based user.
I'm not going to lie, Martha still makes me hard.
Youre not alone
It unironically gave me an interest into marine life
what is that new cartoon about the girl and her fat cat, it is pretty funny
here it is
Any cartoon that shows its prissy fashionista as a secret genius football coach is fine by me.
And kudos to the artist that adapted Bear Bryant's trademark look into an absolutely sharp suit-dress.
I still think she's pretty cute.
She's the cutest Lexiconian I've ever seen.
Qubo niggas rise up
I watched it when I was 11-13. Sometimes I even watch clips. It is entertaining. Also I am still amazed by Arthur. It is a kids show that treats its audience as adults better than a lot of adult shows. That cancer episode left me speechless because I thought "they are talking about cancer in show for children and they are doing a good job about it? Wow...". Sure it falls sometimes. But everything does after running for almost two decades. I am a believer that If your show can not communicate or present its message as good Arthur, or at least close to it, it failed.
>Look up my Qubo channels schedule
>It's all shit for infants now
Poor kids need quality entertainment too
Purple character are always fuck material.
Kids are monsters. That was cute user.
PBS was really nice to watch after middle school for me because it was nice to watch something relaxing after being stressed out all day.
I loved watching Word Girl, Arthur, and Fetch with Ruff Ruffman
I can still sing the Jane and the Dragon theme song by heart.
Also I'm pretty sure Jane and Jester was my very first ship as a kid.
George is kino though
All based, almost forgot about Rupert bear, kinda want to watch it again. I remember it having really trippy imagery and stories
I'm no furry but as far as cartoon dogs go...
no octonauts is one of the best educational kids' shows
When I was a kid I watched shows way above my age like South Park and Family Guy when I was like nine and people still thought that stuff was raunchy and taboo.
>Jacob 2 2 never came on when I was home
>Brave Starr was on too late I could barely watch it
>it got rid of my favorite shows towards the end of me watching it
For as integral as qubo was to my childhood thinking about these things puts me back in my frustrated child brain
Kids had always been watching those shows
>magic book of everything
Catchy little song.

Nobody expects a duet between Ramon Salazar and Princess Bubblegum
Word girl had a very Phineas and Ferb vibe to the humor and most of it landed for me. Also Wonder Pets could be pretty good.
>Very comfy and great writing, I can't sleep without it on in the background.
The guest animator and references they bake in are pretty impressive. Arthur also had some great concept episodes. You could tell that they let them do what they wanted and it shows in the passion.
Dude are you me
wasn't Spliced on qubo? after she-ra and bravstarr
the last time I watch a pbs cartoon was the luna Christmas special since it was done by the same guy who did camp lazo it was ok
I'm not sure
Qubo was the type of channel that didn't really make their own cartoons, just took what they could get as long as it met their target demographic of little kids
That's why you had stuff like Rupert Bear and Babar which adults could watch fondly and remember their youth, shows like Jacob 2 2 that were for kids but some teenagers could still get into and then you had baby preschool shows like Miss BG and Boo! and then a bunch of random shit like Willa's wildlife, sidekicks, Clash of titans, Rescue Hero's, Pippi Longstocking and the fucking Filmation shows
is Wild Kratts an actual watchable show? Koki is cute...
Its like all pbs educational shows, moderately informative (for kids), and somewhat lackluster even though they have an interesting premise.
I watch it for Aviva.
Fuck thos shows in that order was my shit back then after high school i moss fetch with ruff ruff man been trying to find a torrent or mega for it for along time got lucky one day on a mega thread and someone uploaded all of word girl on it
Remember that time in Barbar where the Elephants were slaves and they had to work naked for some reason.
fetch was fucking cool, really unique idea for a kids show. They covered so much stuff in all the different challenges they had to do
Do any of y'all watch current PBS Kids?
I don't know why, but I wanted to watch that show about an Alaskan running a camping shop. I haven't watched PBS in years however.
Molly Of Denali? Why that one?
1 part the artstyle reminds me of Charlie and Lola
9 parts because Murrlogic invaded the thread talking about it and I'm just left curious now
>Didn't had cable so i watched PBS shows
Are you me?
What the hell is Murrlogic?
I'm not telling you.
it's for your own good
I trust you.
YOU'RE IN FOR A FUN TIME user!
He's an autistic leaf who uses his welfare money to commission drawings of various Cartoon characters (usually rich women and environmentally conscious women) chopping down trees, setting up wonderbread factories, and just ruining the environment. You can tell it's him because he uses his drawings for every post he makes.
Here's a picture of a cool spider I found to encourage you to not look further.
i remember being late to the curious George movie but missing the first 15 minutes cause i was eating spaghettios and being slow. not much has changed
Does watching old sesame street skits online count?
that doesn't sound too bad autistic but not worst thing ever I feel like there more you not telling me user
Remember that episode of Babar where Babar is at a log cabin with his family and is being stalked by the spirit mammoth so he just walks into the woods to find it
Oh sure.
Sagwa & George Shrinks immediately come to mind.
It's something you have to experience for yourself. I can't just "tell" you sadly.
Martha speaks is actualy very underrated.
I watch it to learn new english words.
The writing is great. And visuals are very book like.
Love it
I liked watching Martha Speaks and Curious George when getting up for middle school. For some reason when I was sick they played both curious george movies and all the holiday specials in 1 day.
Wasn't that the first episode?
I've never met anyone that disliked Martha Speaks.
If you're interested in animal facts then sure.
Give it a watch.
I have a very distinct memory of Fetch with Ruff Ruffman.
>My mom bought us a brand new pool.
>All my siblings were excited to use it.
>I didn't want to miss the premiere of FwRR
>I stayed inside and watched it by myself while my siblings played outside.
>After the episode was over I was super excited for the next episode.
>Finally go outside to play in pool but all my siblings already went back inside.
>Play in pool by myself and think about next episode of FwRR.
>Does anyone else on Yea Forums watch cartoons that they aren't in the target demographic for?
dude, ALL OF Yea Forums!
I specifically meant "when you were younger", somehow I just didn't get that across properly.
>furry
That's straight up bestality.
I fucking love Big Muzzy
Oh the thread is still up.
>I thought you were gonna say something about how you wanted to fuck the purple dog
To answer your question, I was only 7-8 years old, so no I don't want to fuck the purple dog. The same goes for the current me because I'm don't think I'm a furry.
I skipped detention just to catch Word Girl or anything else on PBS Kids by the time I should have gotten back home. School bus pulled over because 2 students are fighting? I'm either climbing out of the window or opening the back emergency exit and about half way home by the time the bus gets to my supposed stop.
I think that show is the reason why bananas became my favorite fruit.
Martha Speaks is the shit. I managed to download all but 30 episodes of the 96 episode series. PBS fucked up and tried some back-alley bullshit to sell merch with profits only going to them with no distribution to the IP holder instead of a complete series dvd, and the property owner cancelled the contract.
I don't see what people saw in Word Girl. The show looked terrible and wasn't entertaining. I can only guess that they had some pedo thing for the MC.
Everybody in their right mind wanted to. That design and her bedroom voice...the art department knew what they were doing. She was CLEARLY what people in the animation industry call "Something for daddy": some sexy-by-human-standards female character added so adult males forced to watch their kids' favorite shows with them would have something to stimulate their libido and make the ordeal less painful.
I was in elementary to middle school at the time, but the show did help fuel my love for reading and writing (at the time).
>implying theres a difference
you sick fuck, please never procreate
Name a comfier show besides Sarah and Duck.
wtf pbs
I remember being read the 1st book back in 1st grade. I was read the 2nd book during 2nd grade, but I can't remember what grade I was in when I checked out the 3rd. I was in High School when this came out, and I decided to give one episode a chance. It was okay, but I didn't watch it consistently.
>fetch
My nigga. Only the earlier seasons though
wordgirl and martha speaks were anomalies. actual pleasant shows in modern-day PBS
weird though that their gimmick was vocabulary yet the words they chose ranged from 'anyone who can speak knows this word' to 'shit even I don't use'
First season was comfy as fuck for me. I was too old to be watching but I didn't care.
I liked kypto as a kid. I didn't get to watch it that much though.
My money would be on Arthur and dragon tales until they got shitty. Those shows were great. I also really liked between the lions.
Arthur is pretty much the gold standard of pbs cartoons and between the lions was also top notch. They got a lot of big name guest stars for both.
Yeah if I decided to watch based on demographics alone I probably wouldn’t watch anything
