I concur Mr. Cohn. The only program I can think that I enjoyed on PBS was "The Lost Bird Project". It was a great show about bird extinction in North America. I do recommend this show. I watched it during Covid. Perhaps out of boredom. Thank you for your thoughts Lowell.

Agree. It's like with Harvard. It has an endowment of 53 BILLION dollars (not million). See no reason why taxpayer money needs to go to a PRIVATE university.

Spot on Lowell, liberals can donate to it if they like it so much.

What I like about public TV are the British programs on Masterpiece Theatre. That’s quality programming. I first started watching PBS when I was 8, third grade. No, not Captain Kangaroo, but a science program titled MECHANICAL UNIVERSE! I got hooked on mathematics and physics, astrophysics. Yeah, in lieu of cartoons Saturday mornings at 8 AM, I got up to watch this every weekend. I watched as professors explained calculus, problem solving, Copernicus, yes great programming. It only lasted a year or two but that was enough. A lot of good programming but not for biased news or political commentary!
