I absolutely loved “Kim Possible” even though I was in college. LOL It was so popular that DIsney was going to end the series but extended it an extra year due to its popularity. ---

The math-themed sketch show **Square One TV** was another favorite of mine, even if it took me until adulthood to get some of the references (like the _Fawlty Towers_ spoof “Nobody’s Inn.”) ---

> [@robby](#): > > I personally never liked _Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood_ when it was airing, although I have very high regard for its creator. Unfortunately, I think the puppets creeped me out. As a kid, I thought he was a Dork. Didn’t appreciate him till later. But yeah, those puppets were horrible! Really creepy and badly voiced. I remember some kind of Cat-like creature that looked like he was fished out of a storm drain, given a quick rinse and put on the show. Kinda had a squeaky croak of a voice and always seemed to be complaining. Ugg! ---

> [@Gatopescado](#): > > Really creepy and badly voiced. Agree. The puppets were the only part I didn’t like, as a kid or as an adult. IIRC, Fred Rogers did a lot of the voices. Lady Elaine looked like the puppet maker started with a dried apple and went from there. ---

> [@Spoons](#): > > Here in Canada, the CBC excelled at children’s television. Mr. Dressup, the Friendly Giant, and Chez Helene would all be familiar to Canadians of a certain age. I had quite a crush on Loonette the Clown from _Big Comfy Couch_… But I greatly prefer British shows of a certain vintage (and older stuff in reruns) - _The Wombles_, _Rupert The Bear_, _Paddington Bear_, _Postman Pat_, _Noddy_, _Clangers_, _Magic Roundabout_, _Morph_. My absolute favourite: _The Trap Door_. Basically, I have a _lot_ of nostalgia for stop motion. ---
