i remember how art attack would always have a feature of some big, crazy artwork.

I loved that. Best part of the show.

Also: Barney. Barney was the best. The 'insert little kids obsessions' here of my generation.

...I hope.

I don't want to be a freak

Anyone else loved Barney?

 

[Absolutezero]

Barney was good. I had a video or two of him years ago.

Also, those educational shows that ran later in the morning on ABC... Anyone remember at all, Mathica's Math Shop?

Arthur revolves around the lives of Arthur Timothy Read, an anthropomorphic aardvark,[2] his friends and family, and their daily interactions with each other. The series often deals with social and health-related issues that affect young children. There is a strong emphasis on the educational value of books and libraries as well as relationships with friends and family members.

Everyones anthropomorphic in that show
