Having parents that worked a lot of hours, television played a large part in keeping us occupied. In 4th and 5th grade, I would let myself in from school, fix a snack and watch my shows until my Mom or Dad came home. And back then, PBS was the most watched channel in our household.
With programming that included Shining Time Station, Ghostwriter, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego and Square One, PBS offered hours of educational and entertaining parental approved television. Also, people like Bob Villa, Julia Childs, Bob Ross and Mister Rogers became part of our family.
