The title may sound a little strange at first, but that's the quoted word people used to identify educational games and stuff. But anyway, this topic is about educational shows -- whether it be live-action or cartoon. While most of them are rather...ahem, obviously kiddy and all that (i.e. Barney & Friends, Teletubbies...and yes, Dora the Explorer), there are quite a couple in which I admit, that I like.

First off, there's Bill Nye the Science Guy, though I doubt they show that anymore. I don't think I saw much of Blue's Clues, but I thought it was okay. I'll probably need to find and watch it on Netflix before I can fully give my thoughts here.

And last, but not least...WordGirl! Yeah, kinda weird for a guy like me to enjoy a show that actually enriches vocabulary usage. At first, when I stumbled upon it via Netflix, I got curious and watched some episodes to see what it was like. In addition to enriching vocabulary usage, this educational show is actually a spoof of generic superhero shows (i.e. Superman).

So anyway...what are your personal thoughts on educational shows? Any of them you came across at some point -- like or detest?
