Mr Rogers was truly a legend. I don’t think anything even compares. All of the other shows listed on this video have Mr Rogers to thank for existing. I bet you the creators of all of these shows were inspired by Mr Rogers. And even then, many of them still don’t know just how different his message was and the risks he took. I love that they mentioned when he shared a foot soak with his friend. The statement that made at that time was enormous and completely unheard of anywhere let alone on television. Something so simple and yet there are people today who still hold onto the old ideals that made a simple gesture like that so taboo. He was so revolutionary that there are still people around who see his message of love, compassion, and inclusiveness as a bad thing. I still hear people complain that it’s his fault kids think they’re special. He was a simple man with a simple message, but his message changed the world.
Can we also mention that Steven Universe has also covered a series of very serious subjects such as grief, mental health, and toxic relationships in a way that other shows have not?
My best friend and I have watched it all the way through multiple times and we always have to take breaks to decompress and talk through stuff together. Not stuff that’s between us, but Steven Universe always dredges up stuff from our childhoods before we met. And every time we watch we always find ourselves sharing something different. Especially the episodes with White Diamond. Those episodes don’t just require talking. Those episodes require ColdStone, a drink, and a full night of sleep. It usually takes a few days to get through both episodes.
@@jokekopter2509 It’s also a cartoon. It’s not supposed to be exactly like reality. It’s meant to represent reality on a surreal level. Most people are simply misguided or misinformed or unaware of other points of view. You’re meant to identify with all the characters and situations personally on some level. Much like dream interpretation. Everything represents you on some level. So everyone is going to interpret it differently, including the characters. There is no right or wrong way to interpret it. How you interpret the characters is a reflection of how you interpret yourself and your world as you perceive it. Perhaps the things you don’t like about Steven ,or any other character in the series, are things you don’t like about yourself. Perhaps Steven reminds you of experiences you’ve had in the past when you were younger and more naive where trusted someone a bit too much. Personally, Steven reminds me of those times when someone has assumed that I would pass judgment on them similarly to how others have judged them for lifestyle choices…only to find out that I’m not going to judge them like that. Whenever that happens, I usually find that people are very appreciative of my nonjudgmental attitude and they end up becoming very protective of me. Steven also reminds me of myself in that after my mother passed I had to psychoanalyze myself by myself. I had to sort through all of this crap that wasn’t even within my lifetime just to figure out how I fit into all that mess to eventually grow to accept things that weren’t in anyone’s control. I ended up analyzing at least 4 people in my family including myself and breaking toxic behavioral cycles that began before I was even born. Much like Steven. My point is try to dig deeper into why you interpret the character of Steven the way you do and how does that reflect how you interpret yourself.
I remember Arthur, The Magic School Bus and Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. They were shows watched in my childhood a lot. I am 31 years old now. I saw these shows on PBS Kids.
As a 90s kid I am so happy I got to grow up watching most of these shows! There are newer shows that are also great (like Bluey) but these just feel so special.
I really wish Reading Rainbow was still on. Also, Dinosaur Train, Wild Kratts, and Zaboomafoo deserve mentions. Dinosaur Train made learning about dinosaurs and earth science fun, and the Kratt brothers made animal lovers out of a generation.
I’ve been watching Mister Rogers with my 4yr old twins. It has been so amazing. I didn’t realize how much I missed that man, the trolly and the tiger. Mister Rogers was a great man and Misses Rogers was pretty dope too.
I love: • The Magic School Bus (Mrs. Frizzle is an awesome teacher and every field trip is as good as any lesson taught in class) • Adventure Time (Right next to Regular Show, it’s one of my favorite shows on Cartoon Network and Adventuring is no fun without your best friend by your side) and Bill Nye the Science Guy (From Gravity to Outer Space, from Dinosaurs to The Earth’s Crust Bill Nye is one science wiz you can have around any lab)
I watched most of these shows with my daughters in the '90s and '00s, and they were great. Mr. Rogers is one that I watched as a toddler, and enjoyed watching again with the kids decades later. Reading Rainbow is one of the best family shows ever! I am a fan of Levar Burton, and he is known for many things from Roots to Star Trek, but his best contribution to entertainment is Reading Rainbow. I loved that show, and still watch some episodes on RU-vid once in a while.
I LOVE Arthur, growing up watching it helped educate me so much about important issues, and it’s also entertaining, I feel like it’s ahead of our time, glad it’s still going on pbs after a 25 year run
Anyone else watch "Square One TV"? Now that was an awesome show that specifically made learning math entertaining. I even remember one baseball-themed segment that introduced sabermetrics over a decade before it became popular in Major League Baseball itself! Then, of course, who could forget the most popular segment, "MathNet"?
Mr Rogers is an inspiration to everyone, we need more people like him And seems we're on a great step; the olden generations got him and Sesame Street, later Blue's Clues, Beakman's World and LazyTown followed, and now shows like Daniel Tiger (it's direct spin-off) and Bluey are following the quality path. All thanks to Mr. Rogers
I feel like “Zoom” should also be on this list. It inspired kids to get creative and come up with fun hands-on projects surrounding science, cooking, literature, and all sorts of fun hobbies.
Can we also mention how Owl House tackled subjects like PTSD, ADHD, abuse, long-term/terminal illnesses, grief, and had a cast full of diverse characters of different races, backgrounds, gender identities, and sexualities, all without having these traits define them. We did not deserve this masterpiece.
How is Blue’s Clues not on this list? That was the highlight of every 2000’s kids childhoods. It was the best show to watch and it taught us so many important lessons. Blue’s Clues is one of the best kid’s shows ever made.
True. Surprised how it wasn’t in the top 3, especially since there was a documentary special where the creators never expected to be a blooming success

You guys forgot tv shows like- -Story time -Dragon tales -The puzzle place -Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego? -Lambchops play along -Cyberchase -The Charlie Horse Music Pizza -Wishbone -Adventures from the Book of Virtues
I feel that Schoolhouse Rock should have a place in honorable mentions. The way that they explain and teach things through subjects like math, history, money, and science...I'm 25 and I still can't get enough of that series! Yes, yes!
Honorable mentions: Sesame Street (I love watching this show growing up when I was a kid. How the heck it didn't show up on this list?) Zoboomafoo Blue's Clues Cyberchase Hey Arnold!
The Puzzle Place was about celebrating your culture and abilities. Everyone is different, but we can all get along, celebrate what we all have in common and not need to put anyone down or make anyone feel on the outside. We can all help each other and be better people. Religion, race, death, language, representation, divorce, handicaps, emotions and bullying were all discussed with catchy songs and segments including real kids and experts among the puppets. They even had a super computer that worked just like Google Alexa.
This top made me time-travel back to my childhood. Therefore, thanks Ms Mojo, and a happy saturday night to you as well. Take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia to you as well.
Oh I used to love most of these shows, especially Reading Rainbow and Mister Rogers Neighborhood, plus Recess, Totally Spies etc. Makes me wanna go back and watch them all over again
here's a few on my list Zoboomafoo, Big Comfy Couch, the 1990's Sesame Street, Bear in the Big Blue House, Barney, Teletubbies, Dragon Tales, House of Mouse, the early Blues Clues with Steve Burns, Little Bill, Franklin the Turtle, I think the original Power Rangers are up there on kids shows that were ahead of their time along with Goof Troop, Timon and Pumba, Rolie Poli Olie, PB&J Otter, the Book of Pooh, the adventures of Winnie and Pooh from the 90's there's so many more but the ones I mentioned are in my opinion are shows way over their time and these are the shows that I mentioned were my favorite shows growing up I still watch some of them still like Zoboomafoo, Bear in the Big Blue House, Rolie Polie Olie, Power Rangers, Winnie the Pooh, Goof Troop and many more I forgot one more to add to my list and that show is some people might not remember Wishbone that show was great back in the day and it was also my favorite show growing up I was born in 1993 so I know some good shows back then now I'm 29 soon to be 30 years old and I still remember these shows and watch some of them still.
Most of those were standard kids shows that weren't all that special nor ahead of their time, and some of them are rather dull for anyone over the age of 6. Although, "Wishbone" certainly does qualify.
Reading Rainbow and the Magic School Bus were both great shows. I use to watch Reading Rainbow lots of times as a kid, and I wish the Netflix Magic School Bus did a better job in continuing the magic and joy of the show.
So the funniest thing when they zoom in and out of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood at the beginning and end of the show I always wanted that set up neighborhood for my hot wheels and matchbox cars. Also my favorite part of the show was going on the trolley to make believe land. 🤣
watched 9 out of 10 of these, really grateful for PBS mostly for being able to speak english and being a person that always has social change for the better in mind.
Don’t you mean these kid shows were innovative or pushed boundaries for their time! The shows that are ahead of their time were shows that came out too soon and became popular after they were cancelled! Like Pirates of Dark Water, Eerie, Indiana, Sonic the Hedgehog, Adventures from the Book of Virtues, Project Geeker, Fillmore, Dave the Barbarian, and Catscratch!
Thomas and friends should of been on the list that was one of my favorites growing up as for SpongeBob and Avatar the Last Airbender goes those 2 shows in my opinion are completely overrated in my opinion. But yes Thomas and Friends was a great show
They’re all good shows but they never had any topics that really taught children any morals and deconstructs the stereotypes where it adds a diverse set of characters
@@jordandutra9029 I don't except for Thomas and Friends that show touched a lot of stuff while Spongebob and Avatar the Last Airbender didn't have that effect as much as Thomas did as far as important issues, so with that being said Thomas and Friends should of been on the list not Spongebob or The last Airbender in my opinion.
You didn't have the classic 70s reading show "The Electric Company". A sketch comedy series that ran from 1971 to 1985. It had a diverse cast of characters and it taught the viewers all about reading with comedy sketches, animation and songs. It featured Rita Moreno, Bill Cosby and Morgan Freeman. I loved that show growing up in the 1970s and I learned to read and loved the show.
Kratts' Creatures, Zoboomafoo, The Noddy Shop, Shining Time Station, Dragon Tales, Maya and Miguel, The Kidsongs TV Show, The Backyardigans, Time Squad, Time Warp Trio, Kenny The Shark, Growing Up Creepy, Super Why, It's A Big Big World, Bear In The Big Blue House, Dora The Explorer, Blue's Clues, and other shows should've been on the list. 📺🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥

I honestly hope it would be included on this video list as one of the tens or possibly be on the honorable mention list. How could they leave the one show I properly watch and that inspired me in so many ways!
I think Arthur should’ve been #2 here is a list of the most notable bold topics the show covered. Most of these are mentioned in the serious issues video Death Relationships with your parents Book Banning Divorce Fire Drills Asthma Dyslexia PTSD Misinformation on the Internet Nut Allergies Pediatric Surgery Adoption The Environment Cancer Autism Disabled Athletes Alzheimer’s/Dementia Bullying Natural Disasters Race and Peaceful Protests LGBTQ+ Marriage US Citizenship
