From the looks of it, PBSR is premiering "new" shows (that PBS own the streaming rights to) every Friday for the time being!
Okay so maybe not every Friday but still: It's the fact PBS Retro actually gave new "classic" shows a chance, rather than relying on already-aired shows like Mister Rogers and Zoboomafoo proves that more shows can be added in the late-future!

Jesus Christ man, this site takes a million years to load. Actually infuriating.

Seems like the context of the emotion behind your post there was lost.
Whatever, just makes me laugh at how little they care about running this site and actually attempt to make it better (I guess continuing to add new members after so long is a start, but not good enough). I get this is like a 25 year old forum but if it gets to a point where it's so buggy that it refuses to load I think it's time to give it a bit of an update. Obviously that's not gonna happen though, The Count is probably cool idk but I feel like Phillip is the kind of person who just refuses to take criticism and instead sees it as a threat. I hate to assume but given his past behavior I wouldn't doubt it.

Guess I spoke too soon with Angelina, Berenstain Bears I am not surprised at all. Glad PBS bothered to give the latter a complete series DVD release, even though the quality isn't that great.

They also added The Berenstain Bears to the PBS Retro lineup. I am thinking it is the 2003 series.

I'd much rather the 1985 series more, although the 1985 series was never reran on PBS. I feel as if the 1985 series should have been reran in Canada on Treehouse, since Treehouse did air Paddington Bear, and both those shows were Hanna-Barbera produced. I do know the Canadian channel Showcase did air The Berenstain Bears 1985 series in the 1990s.

I highly doubt they'll air The Puzzle Place as one episode did feature a Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? crossover with Greg Lee and the late Lynne Thigpen. But maybe PBS Retro could air the Carmen Sandiego series in the future - though some episodes could be skipped - such as "The Taking of the Towers" with the culprits stealing the World Trade Center, which are long defunct and would be irrelevant now.
