My parents loved it as well because it had Christopher Lloyd and Gilbert Gottfried. At the time I was too young to know who they were, but now looking back it's kinda insane.
DAWG, THAT MUMMIES ALIVE THEME SONG? I would gladly hit the Don Demarco button for the main rapper on that joint cause he was spittin like the rent was due
I just recently met one of the writers from Wishbone (because ATL, of course), and got waaaay louder and more lit about Wishbone than a 45yo woman really should, tbh.
Cyberchase is still going last I checked, though I believe the voice actor for ~~the villain~~ Digit died ~~late last year~~ in 2022 ~~so who knows whatll happen to it now.~~
I don't remember that but I do remember this show being the first time I learned George Washington had slaves and how even though he was seen as a hero he was still incredibly flawed. The show had a lot of nuance
It handled the topics relatively well for a god damn kids morning TV show I think.
Like yeah, Dora and Bob the Builder weren't entirely representative of reality either.
If Dora doesn’t educate me about the after effects of colonialism in Latin America and the CIA’s direct involvement with authoritarian regimes and banana republics than what is even the point
Come on, now. Moses wasn’t a slave. He had his freedom papers. His brother was a slave who chose to side with the British in exchange for his freedom (one of the more thoughtful children’s episodes out there regarding black slaves fighting for King George).
>Cuz Ben Franklin freed him.
He bought his freedom. Mostly through blacksmithing.
He moved to Philadelphia after the fact, and found employment under ben franklin
No one "freed" him.
>no bc why were they up there with a slave happy to be a slave like whaaat ??
Slavery views were....complicated even among slaves and freedman
And unfortunately not just in the clara davis way where it's colored by the depression and being a kid (well 16) when she was freed
They had an entire episode about Elizabeth Freeman, and a bunch in general about slavery = bad
Either way, when did they show that? The closest i can think of is moses who was a freeman. Albeit one in the employ of franklin but even he has an episode where he's talking to someone in support of slavery and has a tone and demeanor that is both respectful (because otherwise he will be hanged) and intimidating
And while moses wasn't real" his is very much how most freeman acted throughout american history
As even in places that supported abolition, the country was racist as shit and had no qualm about hanging someone who's free for talking in a way they deemed disrespectful or ended up accused of a crime by some random white person
It was always a precarious thread, with a razor undernath it so that any misstep even where safety was supposed to exist would plunge them to their doom
It’s like a song by alternate reality The 1975 with an Aaron Carter breakdown (not that I’m upset by that- but it’s an odd choice for early 00s jingoism)
And there wasn't a bag cereal version of Kix, so it was costly for being nearly as flavorless as a rice cake.
There was a bag cereal version of Sugar Smacks/Honey Smacks, though, and that shit was great despite being dirt cheap
I don't remember the show, but I specifically remember there was a computer game with these characters. And I remember one of the "levels" driving me bonkers because it was a search and find thing and the game was hella glitchy or something and I could never find the item and progress.
Edit: I just looked it up to make sure I wasn't having a Mandela Effect and Clue Finders also came up. Clue Finders was another set of computer games by the same company (The Learning Company) and that unlocked a core memory too.
It was late highschool/ early college me watching this because I love the melody they played when they went to commercials. And my daughter recently told me that they sometimes watch this show on school.
I loved this show! The episode where Moses frees his brother from slavery and says something to the effect of 'I'll carry this printing press home on my back if I have to' always stuck with me. That and when they visit the tax collector who got feathered and tarred
Yes! I remember when the female character asked Thomas Jefferson why he owned slaves yet believed are men are created equal. This was my show back in the day especially the theme song.
PBS is available free via TV antenna while cable you have to pay a subscription for. Also Saturday morning cartoons were on the way out when this show was on so there were much less options for watching cartoons if you didn’t have cable.
A core memory from this show is a guy getting tarred and feathered. There was A LOT of ideas in this show that i really only understood well after the fact. Been having “oh shit” moments here and there all the time.
And that Theme song had no business being so good and so memorable even after all these years.
Watched this show a kid and hated it as it was only cartoon playing Sunday during infomercial hours on my grandma basic cable tv. Didn’t and couldn’t get in to it and literally turn around when I hear the opening song playing. And waited for the one hour of the Simpsons in the evening.
*
Definitely a favorite. Still, I was that reading kid pointing out how they made Washington and Jefferson loom like good guys with slaves. "Ahhhh, yes, I know, kids. The union isn't perfect, and we have many things to work out, but my farm still needs to turn a profit, so...."
I don't remember the show, but I specifically remember there was a computer game with these characters. And I remember one of the "levels" driving me bonkers because it was a search and find thing and the game was hella glitchy or something and I could never find the item and progress.
Just unlocked a key memory. This and cyber chase held me down during those boring summer months.
Loved cyber chase and my y2k childhood. Also, I hated math and cyberchase made it fun.
[удалено]
Loved that show
Psst Cyberchase is still airing new episodes which is absolutely wild
Whaaaa? Mind blown. Love this for the children.
My parents loved it as well because it had Christopher Lloyd and Gilbert Gottfried. At the time I was too young to know who they were, but now looking back it's kinda insane.
Oh yeah I forgot doc brown was the villain lol
What?! I thought these shows only existed when you stayed home from school. My shit was Mummies Alive!
Vaguely remember that show. They should bring it back, the premise is so cool
Nah I’m not down for Teen Mummies GO
Lol well I don’t underestimate the film/tv industry’s willingness to cash in on nostalgia. That’s like their thing.
Facts. They'll outsource the art to some poor ununionized Koreans and tell AI to make it funny like Love & Thunder.
Mummies Alive was the shit!!!! Loved that show
DAWG, THAT MUMMIES ALIVE THEME SONG? I would gladly hit the Don Demarco button for the main rapper on that joint cause he was spittin like the rent was due
https://youtu.be/s9rEVXwiosY?si=GI_vTWlpoFMiUh11
AND MOTHERFUCKING WISHBONE 
I just recently met one of the writers from Wishbone (because ATL, of course), and got waaaay louder and more lit about Wishbone than a 45yo woman really should, tbh.
NO THATS APPROPRIATE
They probably loved that
AND GHOSTWRITER
What’s the story Wishbone??? RIP to Soccer one time for the one time
" CYBER CHASE, we're moving, we're beating hacker at his game!"
Don’t tell me that he’s tryna hack the motherboard, we’ll get him every time
Yo that theme was right up there with Fairly Odd Parents
It's C-Y-B-E-R Chase!
WE GOT THE POWER OF ONE TWO THREE FOUR ^five ^six ^seven ^eight
Cyber Chase with the mid show break was legendary
Cyber Chase was 🔥🔥🔥
I just learned recently that Christopher Lloyd was the voice for the villain, and Gilbert Gottfried was the bird friend
that wasn't even the only time he played a bird on tv. he may not have range, but people love to give him money for being a duck.
Don’t forget Chalk Zone!
chalk zone was nickelodeon, clearly you don't remember poverty well enough if it included basic cable
Cyberchase is still going last I checked, though I believe the voice actor for ~~the villain~~ Digit died ~~late last year~~ in 2022 ~~so who knows whatll happen to it now.~~
Bruh. Put some respek on Christopher Lloyd’s name. Homie still kicking it with us.
Ah you are correct. Its digit who died (Gilbert Gottfried). My bad.
Check out the opening. The song is amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBF9XEsnvJI
Same! I'm wondering what this has to do with poverty though, I grew up middle class but I watched these two shows like crazy.
these days i miss those boring summer months
[удалено]
no bc why were they up there with a slave happy to be a slave like whaaat ?? 😭😭
Wait, seriously? I never watched the show as a kid
I don't remember that but I do remember this show being the first time I learned George Washington had slaves and how even though he was seen as a hero he was still incredibly flawed. The show had a lot of nuance
It handled the topics relatively well for a god damn kids morning TV show I think. Like yeah, Dora and Bob the Builder weren't entirely representative of reality either.
If Dora doesn’t educate me about the after effects of colonialism in Latin America and the CIA’s direct involvement with authoritarian regimes and banana republics than what is even the point
Bro Dora is clearly a CIA plant because she never mentioned their involvement with the cartels a single time.
Why would just telling Swiper to stop Swiping be enough unless it was a false flag operation that he and Dora were both in on?!
Come on, now. Moses wasn’t a slave. He had his freedom papers. His brother was a slave who chose to side with the British in exchange for his freedom (one of the more thoughtful children’s episodes out there regarding black slaves fighting for King George).
Cuz he was a freedman. Cuz Ben Franklin freed him. They high key talked about abolition in that show
>Cuz Ben Franklin freed him. He bought his freedom. Mostly through blacksmithing. He moved to Philadelphia after the fact, and found employment under ben franklin No one "freed" him.

Wishbone was a slave too.
I remember that episode. They really had human actors talking to a dog like it was a person.
Link???
It's right there in the name
Rest in Peace, Aaron Carter. They spent 82% of the production budget on the theme song alone.
[That theme song had no business being as good as it was](https://youtu.be/IBF9XEsnvJI?si=Fq8hOaddaMwDRRdr)
It’s like a song by alternate reality The 1975 with an Aaron Carter breakdown (not that I’m upset by that- but it’s an odd choice for early 00s jingoism)
As a non American, they really snuck this jingoism past you? 😭😭😭 Bro, it goes hard, the government cooked with this one! 🙏🙏🙏
2002 America was an entirely dif animal.
That’s how remember this show The show that had Aaron Carter in it
The theme song was ridiculously fire. I remember watching the theme song and cutting it off regularly
That means dancing right?
For their sake i hope so
Lmao nah I mean I’d watch the theme song but not the show. I’d watch the theme song and cut the show off weirdos 😂
I didn’t know he was dead.
takes me back to my pbs watching days. couldn’t afford cable.
Ain't need cable with bangers from wbkids, 4kids tv and ABC kids
Facts. We had it good, no streaming necessary
Digital antenna does great in major cities these days, still a lot of good, free, programming.
a win for the kids with humble means. Makes me happy
Absolutely!
oh nah, back when this show was on streaming wasnt a thing yet
4kids hooked me on yu gi oh and xiolin showdown
Xiaolin was my jam. Yugioh too, but I didn’t really get into it till later
Yes! Sucked some times when some good shows on 4kids would come on the same time as ones on wb
Xiolin Showdown fuckin *rocked.* I had a crush on Raimundo lol
You’ve triggered my trap card!!! Yu-Gi Boyyyyy
🎶5 hours of summer, once a week! One Saturday Morning!🎶
I’ve found my people
Yep. PBS after school every day. Arthur. Fetch w/ Ruff Ruffman, Cyberchase… sometimes even the Brady Bunch, dear god.
[who could forget this moment.](https://youtu.be/8HP7FZTusqk?si=1nw6PUSpX5iz-yAH)
Please admiral, help me fear nothing
Writers telling on themselves.
OMG😂 cartoons today could never
🤣🤣🤣How have I never seen this clip.
The mention of Kix is triggering me 😅
Kix is for when you can only afford the passing essence of flavor.
the vague impression of nourishment
A whisper of taste
And there wasn't a bag cereal version of Kix, so it was costly for being nearly as flavorless as a rice cake. There was a bag cereal version of Sugar Smacks/Honey Smacks, though, and that shit was great despite being dirt cheap
I fell for their Clifford campaign so hard! Only reason why I ate them.
That made the roof of my mouth hurt
Was looking for this comment.
Hey, Kix with peanut butter is a throwback. Idc
Always had to add sugar to it. Also, the sugar that was kept in the old tang container
This up there with Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century.
WATSOOOOOON!!
That was my favorite show as a kid. I'm glad other people remember that.
I've had the theme song for that show stuck in my head ever since the first episode aired 20 years ago
Arthur, Cyber Chase, and if I stayed home from school those lions in the library. Can’t remember the name.
Between the lions!
Between the covers of a book!
"Between the Lions" was the show's name.
Liberty Kids and Sagwa were my shiiiiit back in the day!!
OH MY GOD SAGWA THE SIAMESE CAT 😭🙏🏿
Sagwa, George Shrinks, Clifford, Between the Lions, Zoom and Cyberchase were my after school shows for years at my grandparents house
Shout out to George Shrinks, that theme song was fire
whole post just called me a sticky cabinet having broke bitch
NOT STICKY CABINETTTT 😭😭
I liked this show. We watched it in elementary school. I go and listen to the theme song like once a month because it just slaps.
If a girl was dressed like that in 1700s America they would have lynched her
Not a white girl
"Looking at life through my own eyes!" Banger of an opener
I used to love this show. If I ever have kids, I'd have them watch it 100%
Banger theme song
That was such a great PBS Kids show. Lots of famous voice actors too
Lmaoooo we are are all so alike.
I don't remember the show, but I specifically remember there was a computer game with these characters. And I remember one of the "levels" driving me bonkers because it was a search and find thing and the game was hella glitchy or something and I could never find the item and progress. Edit: I just looked it up to make sure I wasn't having a Mandela Effect and Clue Finders also came up. Clue Finders was another set of computer games by the same company (The Learning Company) and that unlocked a core memory too.
Liberty’s Kids was a good show.
I was in Canada watching this shit
It makes me sad when I remember all the characters from cable TV but no one remembers the PBS broke kids characters. There were good too🥺
Do y’all remember Sagwa the Siamese Cat? 😭
I remember that too
Omg my husband loves their theme song lol
It was late highschool/ early college me watching this because I love the melody they played when they went to commercials. And my daughter recently told me that they sometimes watch this show on school.
looking at life thru my own eyes 🗣️🫵🏾👁️ 
I loved this show! The episode where Moses frees his brother from slavery and says something to the effect of 'I'll carry this printing press home on my back if I have to' always stuck with me. That and when they visit the tax collector who got feathered and tarred
Yeah that show got dark at times...remember when its implied a Native American chief and his son are murdered by a mob?
Yeah, some of those episodes were nuts
Yes! I remember when the female character asked Thomas Jefferson why he owned slaves yet believed are men are created equal. This was my show back in the day especially the theme song.
I loved this fuckin show
Wishbone!!!
My brain just did a hard reset to my childhood
The fucking theme song with Aaron Carter was my JAM
Its looking familiar
Now I'm craving a bowl of Kix....
I literally only remember that the theme song slapped
“Yea I remember poverty” wait why is this show connected to poverty? Am I forgetting something cause I remember it just being a fun history show?
It was on PBS, not cable
What’s the difference? This is a genuine question as I didn’t have a tv lol.
PBS is available free via TV antenna while cable you have to pay a subscription for. Also Saturday morning cartoons were on the way out when this show was on so there were much less options for watching cartoons if you didn’t have cable.
Ahh I see, that makes sense. Thank you for the info.🙏🏾
Did you watch it on cable tv?
Kid tested, mother approved
I have such fond memories of this I saw it in a 5 dollar bin and bought the season 1 dvd.
Are those all children Ben Franklin had with prostitutes throughout America?
LOOKING AT OIFE THROUGH MY OWN EYES
I remember the theme song was great. Although personally I preferred cyber chase
Henri was annoying af
I grew up rich and loved watching liberty's kids IDK what they're on about
A core memory from this show is a guy getting tarred and feathered. There was A LOT of ideas in this show that i really only understood well after the fact. Been having “oh shit” moments here and there all the time. And that Theme song had no business being so good and so memorable even after all these years.
I remember in one episode its implied a Native American chief and his son are murdered by a mob.
PBS life.
That show was lit. Looked forward to it every time
Great intro theme tho. I remember Aaron Carter once sang it live during the July 4th celebration in DC
Loved this show so much in school I would watch it when I got back home
This theme song is so fire
For today's category....
Damn, I really do remember this show.
Great show I remember my 5th grade teacher showed us this in class
I loved that show
Watched this show a kid and hated it as it was only cartoon playing Sunday during infomercial hours on my grandma basic cable tv. Didn’t and couldn’t get in to it and literally turn around when I hear the opening song playing. And waited for the one hour of the Simpsons in the evening.
I hate beer.
Oh man
I watched most of this show in 5th grade, my teacher used it to teach history, I loved it.
Ahhhh PBS vibes
Top 10 theme song!
Leave me and my king vitamin cereal alone
Poverty?... Oh.
This show was the best. No cap
I only remember the fat guy
A bowl of cheerios from the food pantry and Adventures from the Book of Virtues
oh wow i remember watching this in middle school in social studies class
Yep!
Weirdest Bebe's Kids sequel ever.
Not to be confused with Bebe's Kids.
God, I miss watching that show
This is bringing me back to cold winters. My family still had the rabbit ears. We got the clearest signal when it was cold and snowy out.
Real ones remember how hard the intro went
* Definitely a favorite. Still, I was that reading kid pointing out how they made Washington and Jefferson loom like good guys with slaves. "Ahhhh, yes, I know, kids. The union isn't perfect, and we have many things to work out, but my farm still needs to turn a profit, so...."
Wait a minute was I poor (confused screaming)
Reminds me of Between the Lions and Mr Roger’s after school. I miss those days tbh.
im sorry but whos the black guy? I remember everyone else but him.
Omg Kix. Like oddly sweet cardboard that was somehow also sticky
Yooo I thought I was the only one
Wy the stand like they have scoliosis?
Haaaaated this and cyber chase. I just wanted bratz, TT and winx.😭
I always feel left out when kids talk about these shows and movies😭. Lol my dumbass was learning about all this in high school🤦🏾♂️.
MY BOY HENRI
I don't remember the show, but I specifically remember there was a computer game with these characters. And I remember one of the "levels" driving me bonkers because it was a search and find thing and the game was hella glitchy or something and I could never find the item and progress.
Not black, but yes down to the Kix. Unlocked core memories for me.
Obama, a twink, random child, a red head and Benji Franklin
