One thing I did notice was that the music was done by Richard Einhorn, who (a few decades later) would write a new amazing score for "The Passion of Joan of Arc" (1928). His new score really invigorated the film.

Nova is a fairly objective examination of a scientific subject.

NPR national content is pretty much exclusively produced by literal Jews operating out of Manhattan. Almost all the foundation owners that fund every show are also Jews. Local content is made by middle-aged shitlibs.

In any case, PBS is completely fucked. Kids don't watch. Millennials don't watch or donate. All of our viewers and donors will be dead in 20 years or less. Even with the federal funding, it's untenable.

When I was a kid, I always fantasized about going on the Ruff Ruffman show. I didn't know how the application process worked, I just thought they had recruiters randomly pick lucky motherfuckers from across America, and it was always my dream that one day some random dude would be like "Yep, we're the Ruff Ruffman show, it's your turn, time to go on the Ruff Ruffman show". I was always a bit anxious though, because I knew the odds of being picked would be so low, and even if I DID get picked, my family was really poor, and I assumed you had to pay for the plane tickets and shit, so even if I DID somehow get selected, the opportunity would slip by me because I'd never be able to afford it.

There was this one episode where they went to an amusement park, and it just seemed like a wish come true for a kid in a poor family; go ride some rides, eat some food, play around with other kids my age, and then have the chance to win a prize after everything is said and done.

I miss car talk. That was a requirement on long road trips, it was by far their best show and luckily my family tended to start and end those trips on sundays when it aired. WWDTM was alright, science fridays was cool and they had some good longform pieces. On occasion you could find some really cool local shows in the middle of nowhere. Once i got satellite radio in like 2010 NPR was 100% over. Which in hindsight was the best time to leave them behind since the cancer in CPB metastasized shortly thereafter.

Yeah it is, but taking away Constitutionally-protected rights from normal people because niggers and incels can't be trusted to act like humans is unacceptable and trying to indoctrinate people into giving up their right to self-defense is evil.

PBS will be much harder hit than NPR, but NPR seems to have gone more woke. Still PBS is also guilty of this. I will miss PBS Spacetime on Youtube if they just capsize and sink completely, but I bet the worthwhile bits that can pay for themselves ( like Youtube stuff which is all I actually watch ever of theirs ) will still continue.

If not, they'll make way for it to be done privately. It's worth it ( and not even a cost really more of a tax dollar savings ) to not have to pay to produce woke shit.

Back in the day PBS was an alternative to the mass appeal Jungle juice devoid of nutrients that they showed on the other 6 or 7 channels - and that only if you paid for cable. Nowadays niches are well catered to without them.

What's evil is allowing wolves to coexist with the sheep and actively preventing the sheep from protecting themselves when the shepherd is on lunch. We can argue about whether the wolf is evil because he kills or because he uses his sharp teeth to kill instead of bludgeoning the sheep to death but at the end of it the sheep is still dead, and it's dead because it couldn't fight back. It's your right to not want the responsibility that comes with being armed, but it's not your right to take away the rights of the other sheep not to be devoured by wolves whose nature it is to kill.

People like you live in a dream world where a "social worker" can protect you from someone who wants to hurt you using the power of their words. But there are people who cannot be talked down and will only respond to the threat, or implementation, of force. You need to face the facts.

I remember watching a PBS documentary about a guy who had been injured mountain climbing and invented a new kind of artificial limb. There were stories of other injured people using his devices then right in the middle of the doc there was some black woman lecturing about 'systemic racism' and nonwhite people not getting as good medical care even though this had nothing at all to do with this particular story it seemed to be inserted into this documentary to satisfy the PBS requirement that every documentary mention racism. The truth is in today's streaming world PBS is obsolete. Kids watch youtube videos and streaming services.

I just ignored the left shit and assumed everyone else did. But as soon as broadband happened you could get the content without the added editorial - not only that you could get it when you wanted on demand, and then the culture war got more intense and the editorializing more intense to the point that NPR became unlistenable. Also I worked from home so no more commute. When would I listen even if I wanted to? Podcasts exist.

This really pisses me off. Sure, Ken Burns, Austin City Limits and that stuff is bad enough but what really hurts is the local programming.

We have a lot of local stuff on PBS around here, shows about Tennessee, about our culture and history, there's a weekly bluegrass show to try and keep that heritage alive, gardening shows beloved by old women like my mom with local hosts, shows about great hidden gem spots in the state.
Just a retarded thing to do ultimately when PBS draws such a tiny amount of funding compared to other expenses. Shameless hucksterism literally aimed at making us stupider and easier to control.

Hard truth: if people in Tennessee gave a shit they'd demand their state to fund it.

>>212877762
Actually, there was a huge uproar recently over the fact that Sesame Street's contract with HBO ended, meaning it'd be taken off of Max. Now they have a deal with Netflix, which is perhaps better than the HBO one. With HBO, new episodes had an exclusivity period of several months before it airs on PBS. Now with Netflix, new episodes will release on Netflix and air on PBS on the same day.

>>212877948
No. The best cooking shows are from people who actually come from the countries whose food is being cooked, and actual restaurant chefs, not Jews who have more money than you and so have taken more vacations than you to be able so publish books and videos about how to make food you've never tasted so you'll never know if following the instructions worked or not.

I will grant a pass to Julia Childs, Jeff Smith (pedo tho), and the Louisiana - I guarantee guy

PBS and NPR have some good programing but the fact is they are wildly and openly pro-Left-Dem and nobody shouldn't be forced to spend their tax dollars on political propaganda.

Now there are plenty of rich Left-Dems who could pick up the check if they put their money where their mouth is but we know from past experience, pro-Left-Dem radio and tv programs simply cannot compete on their own, even their own Left-Dem base doesn't bother patronizing them.

If Fox News and Rightwing talk radio were getting tax dollars (to the tune of $1.1 billion per year, like PBS/NPR) the Left would flip their shit and they'd be absolutely right to do so.

Sort of a bummer but PBS was essentially made moot by YouTube.
Pre internet, PBS was meant to give quality shows that couldn't be profitable or profitable enough for typical networks a chance. This meant a lot of science shows, niche interest shows like car talk, or kids shows at on or near prime time slots. Super valuable back in the day.
But now YouTube has a glut of those, accessible whenever. And while there's a lot of slop I don't think anybody would deny the quality of channels like veritasium (science) or your preferred hyper niche interest channel.
I'm glad PBS existed when I grew up, but it's time has come and gone. Much like basically all live TV that isn't live event or sports streaming, it's a blatantly inferior product to streaming. And PBS takes taxpayer money on top of it.
My political views don't align with election tourist nu-chan, but I'm sure other oldfags like me can agree with our newfriends that people whining about PBS dying just reflexively complain about anything losing government funding without thought. It served its purpose, but it's completely unnecessary in the internet era. The market found a better way to provide the services it provides.

the most unfiltered and raw kinography of the entire network. it showed amerifats british tv and only recently did amerishart tv surpass british tv. when this was airing it really raised the bar
people say the NPR radio is "extremely left leaning", but I usually find its moderate/center left, yes they will talk about racism and occasionally do stories on trannoids, but they are always happy to interview people with the "other view point" for almost every story they do. they have had loads of interviews with republican congressmen, senators and other leading republican members and really don't play hardball the same way Fox does with liberals when they get on.

Production values of YouTube videos are nowhere near TV level. There’s also the obvious problem that your YouTube viewing is at the behest of an algorithm versus a human selected show schedule. You could select your high quality channel’s video, and two videos later you could be watching something far lower quality, or even worse just incorrect information. That’s why all these platforms have little blurbs under content now, because they aren’t actually dedicated learning platforms, anyone can go on there and say whatever they want, and that video might become popular enough to be algorithmically served to you or a kid.

>>212878712
>they are wildly and openly pro-Left-Dem
Reporting facts has always seemed leftist to opponents of unbiased media (i.e. right wingers), the same unfounded claims exist in all first world countries with state-run, tax-funded media. The only reason lobby groups feed the narrative that every single state-run media in a democratic country is leftist propaganda is that the wealthy and powerful wants to control the media.

Arthur is genuine kino before they switched to flash in either season 13 or 15, and if you haven't watched it, give it a chance. Do not watch it past the point once you notice the animation is dogshit.

Every single public broadcaster in the western world starts off well, has a few good decades, then inevitably becomes an outpost of upper class Left-Progressive cosmopolitan power. They can't be reformed and must be destroyed. If that class of people wants a media outlet to create their preferred agitprop then they must create and pay for it themselves.

>>212870737 (OP)
I liked Zoom and Cyberchase.

Evidently it's exceedingly difficult to have a public broadcast channel that doesn't immediately pivot to bullshit. Can't just have a channel that shows wholesome stuff without agenda or something, nigh impossible

>>212879106
That cyberchase black lady was cute as hell. I also remember there was a valentine day episode where the redhead boy gets a kiss from both of the girls at the end of the video, and I thought it was really cute and I always looked forward to that episode because of it, but I tried to look stoic cause my older brother would be watching it with me too and I didn't want him to call me gay for gushing about cute romance stuff kek

They're going to shut down Arthur? It's like their flagship kid's show. Arthur is to PBSkids what The Sopranos or Game of Thrones was to HBO; it's like the number one show that kids will tune in to PBS for.

I remember being a teen leader at summer camp, and a bunch of the kids were being a dick to another kid, and so I pulled them aside, but it was hard to talk some morality into them since they were really young. I didn't know how to reach them on that level. Finally, I had the brilliant idea to say "If this was an episode of Arthur, do you guys think you'd be the good guys in that episode, or the bad guys? What would Arthur do in this situation?", when they were like "What's Arthur?" After that, I had to resort to the good ole fashioned "What would Jesus do?" instead, but it got me thinking, how many shows are there any more that kids can watch, that explore real world issues that kids face everyday, with an emphasis on strong morals, that plays it straight without being sarcastic or subversive? Arthur was one such show; they talked about fitting in, peer pressure, bullying, believing shit on the internet, escalation/de-escalation, creepy adults, divorce, crushes, grades, parental expectations, etc. etc. It was very relatable to kids for that reason, and it could prove as a viable voice for guidance to a lot of them, especially those who lacked much guidance in the first place.

When I was trying to get through to those 6 and 7 year olds, when they said they didn't know Arthur, my mind was scrambling for a similar show in their generation that I could use as a reference point, but all I could really think of was Paw Patrol, which I haven't really seen, but I assume it has more to do with emergency responders and shit rather than real world child related dilemmas. Every other show I could think of was either too sarcastic in tone, or would subvert the usual "daily moral" for the sake of comedy, which annoyed me.

Also, let me tell you we do not have the kind of men and women you can see in Dust Bowl in Europe. I do not know why, but I think such hearts of gold do not grow around here. If anything else, it made me understand why the USA deserves to be "leader of the free world" or whatever you want to call it. No seething, no madness, no butthurt.

Arthur already ended like a few years ago. The last scene is Arthur as a grown up writing a comic book about his childhood that loops back to the first episode.

Those NPR shows you mentioned are shit. The only good NPR is the pre-recorded stuff.

PBS where I grew up (rhode island) would show Red Green followed by Posh Nosh on Sundays

You know PBS is irrelevant now because if you asked the average person on the street to name one PBS show all they'll come up with is stuff that aired in, like, 1992.

At the time they were airing Monty Python and Red Dwarf on Sat night, another channel was airing the remastered Star Trek TOS episodes, which were new at the time, so those nights were packed with entertainment. I recorded many remastered TOS episodes on VHS. It was my first time watching TOS. I think it was the last time I really used the VCR to record anything.

And I'm pretty certain that Rose's character helped me develop my cougar fetish. It certainly didn't help when I realized that the first actress for Rose was the prostitute who Winston solicited in the 1984 movie, damn did she have a magnificent minge lol
