With more to come

I’ve been raising my kid on PBS Kids basically since birth now that he’s in middle school and has 2 younger siblings not to far behind.

He’s been tuned into Arthur but I’d like to know if there are any PBS Kids show that he might like. Live action or animated.

Within the 8-11 range is fine too

I was on the Mint cabin on the LAX-FLL flight B6 1700 on July 20th 2026 from 8:57am-5:38pm and since I am a minor the flight attendants wanted me to feel as safe as possible and there was a flight attendant who is LAX based who was a white male with slick back hair I believe blonde or brunette hair who was chewing gum. He did an exceptional service by navigating me through how the Mint flights worked and checking up on me if I wanted any foods or beverages.

If you are a fan of classic PBS Kids there is a channel on the Roku channel called PBS Retro where you can watch classic pbs kids cartoons and live action shows!

I used to be close to Mariah Carey’s whistle note in O Holy Night but for about 2 years now I stopped using a high pitched voice and started to use my natural masculine voice.

When I sing high I’ll only get a few notes until the cracks happen when I sing normally which is sorta deep I can barely go low or high. Not to mention my actual speaking voice is in the middle. It’s like I’m trapped.

So me and my brother were watching Arthur since we are just kids being kids. And he came up with an interesting theory that the Tough Customers might be in a special needs class. It would explain why they aren’t seen in classes with the other 4th graders why they have the same lunch time as the 3rd graders, why Rattles misspelled Customer with Costumer and why they are the only 4th graders seen at recess with them (not even Prunella goes to recess with them)

What doesn’t PBS Kids air Arthur’s Missing Pal for the family night block on the weekends?

I understand for Arthur: It’s Only Rock and Roll there are rights issues (it would be amazing if GBH got the perpetual rights)

And PBS Kids always airs Arthur perfect Christmas during the holidays so age can’t be a problem.

So my family just got a Shih Tzu Poodle mix and my French Bull Dog’s aggression and anxiety is to a max. Any tips

Chuck E Cheese:

Y’know life is like a scrapbook

Memories on every page

You look back with laughter

And you’ll never feel your age

Now I’ve been thinking lately

About… 50 years ago

And what brought us all together for this very special show

As a younger mouse I always knew I was meant for something more

I was on a bus

With nothing but my dreams

I was headed for New York

I found a place that served great pizza ordered one with extra cheese

Made by a funny chef with a mustache his name was Pasqually.

Chuck E Cheese and Pasqually P Pieplate:

Every boy every girl, every kid around the world.

Should have a place to laugh and sing and play

Kids can do what they please

When they come to Chuck E Cheese

They’ll be rocking here tomorrow, like they’re rocking here today.

Pasqually P Pieplate:

My restaurant was losing money I was about to close my doors.

I knew my pizza was really great but my guest wanted something more

Chuck E offered to help me out a little mouse what could he do?

But then started singing

Our dreams were about to come true

Chuck became the main attraction

I gave him a set of keys

And then I put his name up on the door

Welcome to Chuck E Cheese

Chuck E Cheese:

When walking on Main Street one day

A DJ came our way, and said…

Munch:

You and Pasqually are gonna make some cash

Sell a million pizzas and we’ll make it in a dash-

Chuck E Cheese:

We book a gig in Nashville

We set out on our way

Our van broke down in front of farm and we made a new friend that day

Chuck E Cheese, Pasqually P Pieplate and Mr Munch:

Every boy every girl

every kid around the world.

Should have a place to laugh and sing and play

Kids can do what they please

When they come to Chuck E Cheese

They’ll be rocking here tomorrow, like they’re rocking here today.

Jasper T Jowls:

I was playing my bass out on the porch when the mouse and chef showed up

They had a gig. And a busted motor I told them.. you’re in luck

My uncle Jed’s a mechanic

I’m Jasper shake my paw

Chuck E Cheese:

I said we could use a bass guitarist, why don’t you come along

Our band was growing things were good

Still I felt we were incomplete.

I heard of this singing gamer chick who couldn’t get defeat.

Helen Henny:

Chuck asked me to join with him I didn’t know what to say.

The most fun mouse I’d ever seen I sang out a big hooray

Chuck E Cheese

Back in New York with our new friends we took the stage to sing

We all did great yet we all knew still something was missing

And then this really talented Hip Hop star

Doing a dance really funny

Jumped on the stage and started playing too and said

Bella Bunny:

Hola I’m Bella Bunny

Chuck E Cheese, Pasqually

P. Pieplate, Mr Munch, Jasper T Jowls, Helen Henny and Bella Bunny:

Every boy every girl

Every kid around the world

Can have a place to laugh and sing and play

Kids can do what they please, when they come to Chuck E. Cheese

They’ll be rocking here tomorrow like they’re rocking here today

Chuck E Cheese:

We were having so much fun making memories every day

We even expanded to more locations, the first in San Jose.

Jasper T Jowls:

The kids who came 50 years ago have children of their own

Bella Bunny and Helen Henny:

It’s like we’re all a family

And this is still you’re home

Chuck E Cheese, Pasqually

P. Pieplate, Mr Munch, Jasper T Jowls, Helen Henny and Bella Bunny:

Every boy every girl

Every kid around the world

Can have a place to laugh and sing and play

Kids can do what they please, when they come to Chuck E. Cheese

They’ll be rocking here tomorrow like they’re rocking here today

They’ll be rocking here tomorrow like they’re rocking here today

We’ll be rocking here tomorrow, like we’re rocking here today!

Chuck E Cheese:

Happy 50 Years Of Fun from all of us at Chuck E. Cheese’s
