I loved Captain Kangaroo when I was a kid. By the time Mr. Rogers and his neighbourhood made it up to Canada, I was too old for it. Same thing with Sesame Street and the Muppets; I was 11 or so when they came to air in about '68. I've already posted on how brilliant I thought (and still think) R&B is. I actually liked Pee Wee Herman a great deal - used to watch it with my eldest every Saturday morning. Like R&B, it appealled to kids, but enough off-beat kitschy humour was in there to satisfy adults. Actually, pretty edgy stuff, now that I think of it. I loved it, and so did my daughter. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
