The Top Educational TV Shows You Watched as a Kid

Let’s take a moment and thank Elmo and Mister Rogers for helping educate us before the public school system got its hands on us.

According to a new study, most adults who watched educational TV shows as a kid say they played an important part in helping them learn.  2,000 parents were surveyed and here are the most popular shows they watched:

1.  “Sesame Street” . . . 53%.

2.  “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” . . . 38%.

3.  “Reading Rainbow” . . . 37%.

4.  “The Magic School Bus” . . . 32%.

5.  “Schoolhouse Rock” . . . 31%.

6.  “Zoom” . . . 27%.

7.  “Arthur” . . . 25%.

8.  “The Electric Company” . . . 25%.

9.  “Bill Nye the Science Guy” . . . 25%

10.  “Captain Kangaroo” . . . 24%.

(No love for Barney?  Maybe none of the parents surveyed were young enough for him.)
