I think I would have Barney in the iconic group probably below Howdy Doody
As far as Dora and Blues Clues, I would probably have put them both in the 9-11 category. They are both really good shows that A) help kids learn spanish, even if only a little and B) help kids with their creativity. I...

This was a really good show that fostered childrens love of reading. Lavar Burton did a fantastic job of bringing the books to life. It was a simple but effective show. It had kids do book reviews. I remember asking my...

Spider Man vs the Spoiler, The Menu Song
Hey You Guys!1!1!1!1. This was a really fun show. I remember watching this and really enjoying it. The Spiderman segments were the best. What I did not know then and only...

Episode I watched: Reptiles
Bill Nye taught kids about science, and he did it in a fun and energetic way. This is one show that I had never seen before, but it is clear from the rankings that it is highly regarded. I know...

Episode I watched: Monster in the Playhouse
There is no doubt that Pee Wee is an iconic character. I remember this show was on CBS around 10am. I remember watching it but not loving it. I thought it was weird. Upon watching again, I...

Conjunction Junction, 3 is a Magic Number, Im just a bill
This was a struggle because this was not really a show. Since there were no parameters set up before I came in to judge, I didnt want to knock it down...

Episode I watched: Is this Kosher/Never Never Never
Arthur is what I would call another cute childrens show. It is one that my own kids used to watch on PBS kids. There is nothing wrong with it, but there is nothing that makes...
OK, that was the bottom tier. The next tier is what I call cute, but nothing more

This had a great theme song that I still remember to this day. It is a show about science. I remember watching it along with the Electric Company and Square One Television (which was not selected). This is the show I...

Episode I watched: Christmas Episode
I might take some flack here since this seems to be a well liked show. If we are being honest though, outside of the slime, is there anything noteworthy about this show. You might say...

Animaniacs (IMBD 7.9) (Screenscrush 2)
1 point
I think this one would have been much better placed in the animated category. I really like Animaniacs so it pains me to place it here. I actually liked Tiny Toons better and absolutely loved Pinky and the Brain. It was a must watch for me in the...
OK, Thanks for allowing me to judge the children's category. It was a fun exercise. I did not have any contributers to the judging (hopefully I dont feel @higgins scorn), but I did use 3 sites that I found online. One was the IMBD score, another was a web site called screencrush (which I can not...
I have been working through my tiers and my rankings for childrens show. I have off tomorrow and will try to get a lot of it done. I am taking my time and not rushing so thanks for the patience
