PBS Kids Celebrates 30th Anniversary with Launch of New Retro Channel on Roku

 From the town of PTV Park to the golden age of Dot and Dash, PBS Kids turns 30 years old on Thursday, July 11th and to celebrate, PBS and Roku have joined forces to create an all-new PBS children's network dedicated to both the young and the young at heart.

Launching today on the Roku app and Roku TV channels, the all-new PBS Kids Retro channel offers a special catalog of over 55 years of classic quality children's television made possible by the United States Department of Education, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's PBS Kids Ready to Learn television cooperative agreement grant, and of course, by contributions to your local PBS and PBS Kids stations from Viewers Like You. Thank You!

At launch, PBS Kids Retro will have five classic PBS Kids shows available to revisit both for millennial fans and for their newly born offspring, including every single episode of their very first series that the PBS Kids network has ever made, Mister Fred Rogers' Neighborhood (1968-2001), the first twelve seasons Model Era of Thomas & Friends (1984-present), which since then has gotten its episodes owned, distributed and broadcasted by Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Netflix, Reading Rainbow hosted by the cool factors of LeVar Burton (1983-2006) and the other two series from the Kratt Brothers' catalog, including Zoboomafoo (1999-2001) and their one-hit wonder Kratts' Creatures (1996).

Other classic shows from the PBS Kids library including Barney & Friends (1988-present) with its upcoming reboot Barney's World set to be released on Cartoonito later this year, the first 33 seasons and 4,000 episodes of Sesame Street (1969-present) cuurently in its 54th-55th seasons on Cartoon Network and Max, Shari Lewis' Lamb Chop's Play-Along franchise (1992-1999), The Puzzle Place (1995-1998), BBC's UK port The Noddy Shop (1998-1999) and the Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? game show collection (1991-1997) starring Tony-winning late great Lynne Thigpen of Disney Channel's preschool pioneer hit Playhouse Disney/Disney Junior series Jim Henson's Bear in the Big Blue House are also set to be available on the service in the coming months.

Australian Advertising Clickbait - Bluey Cancelled AFter Three Seasons, Wraps Production Despite Hiatus Statement

 It seems like all good things come to an end as one of the #1 modern 2D-animated preschool series of all time, Australian-based Bluey from ABC for Kids/Australian Broadcasting Corporation, CBeebies BBC Studios Worldwide and The Walt Disney Company is no more. The show has recently been getting less airtime across Disney Channel and Disney Junior and for good reason too. Earlier this month, Bluey has aired what could be the last ever episodes "The Sign" and "Surprise".

In the hour-long series finale, first in the 28-minute mini-movie special "The Sign" which premiered on Sunday, April 14th (production code #351), Bluey, Bandit and their Heeler family are in some sticky situation of Joe Biden/Gordon Brown budget inflation trouble where they are quarreling over the decision of whether or not to sell their house and move on with their stupid dog lives. Then in the epilogue story "Surprise" which premiered earlier this week on Sunday, April 21st (production code #352, series finale), the title character grows up into an adult caricature of himself and gives birth to his own child puppy of his own, named Noah, presumably leaking a spinoff series of sorts.

After airing for over six years and around 78 episodes of around 56 short 7-minute stories, it seems like the television heaven has come for this cartoon dog family from down under. Back in late October 2023, the show's creators and company execs had announced that the show would be taking a break between season three and four, but so far, there are currently no plans by ABC iView to make a fourth season.

It seems the announcement has been outdated and the show has been cancelled because of the announcement of an indefinite hiatus. This proves once again of how stupid some TV production crews are about being big fat liars of false advertising and lying to their audiences. Whenever a TV crew says that the show is going on hiatus or taking a break, it means the series is indeed automatically cancelled.

Case in point: UK-based ITV1's Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway had recently been killed off the air for good for the third time around following the climax of the 23rd season earlier this month, with no plans to make a 24th season or to bring the show back at all whatsoever.

So as the sun sets on this Australian Peppa Pig ripoff bootleg that has stood the test of time alongside the likes of the Osbourne family, The Wiggles, Play School, Delta Goodrum, Kylie Minogue and Hi-5, the entire Disney staff wants to give a big thanks and congratulations to Joel Brumm and all the team who made this cartoon happened over the years, that has since gone on to be an RIAA and ARIA gold and platinum award-winning bestsellers success.

Thank you for the joy you've brought to the world and rest in peace.

Preschool TV En Espanol - Nickelodeon and Paramount+ Launch Dora the Explorer Reboot

 America's favorite millennial Spanish kids TV icon Dora the Explorer is back in the newest CGI animated offering of kids television from Paramount+ and Nick Jr. The all-new series Dora: Say Hola to Adventure! launched on Friday morning with 13 all-new episodes.

The new series once again follows Dora, Boots and their rainforest animals on more adventures in their local environment along with the aid of her talking map and backpack and that sneaky fox Swiper, voiced once again by Marc Weiner (Weinerville) along with her new parents Mami (Kathleen Herles) and Papi (Michael Smith Rivera). Along the way, Dora introduces words and phrases in Spanish to USA viewers and in English to international markets around the world.

The first two episodes "Tres Leches Trouble/Wizzle Wazzle Woo" and "The Magic Nuts/Rainforest Ritmo" were leaked on the franchise's YouTube channel on September 30th and October 14th respectively.

Episodes include
9-01: Tres Leches Trouble/Wizzle Wazzle Woo
9-02: The Magic Nuts/Rainforest Ritmo
9-03: Catch That Quickatoo/The Lost Losito
9-04: Rainbow's Lost Colors/Boots' Rubberband Ball
9-05: The Alebrije Adventure/Let's Get a Paleta
9-06: Wake Up Big Red Chicken!!!/The Mysterious Gifts
9-07: Dora's Friendaversary Adventures/Swiper's Birthday Surprise
9-08: The Little Axolot/Bubble Trouble
9-09: Tiny Dancers/The Sleepy Sun
9-10: CROC-a-Bye Baby/Wanna Espamanda?/If The Boot Fits, Wear It!/Dora's Pinata Party!
9-11; Tico and Bip Bip's Big Show!/The Wonky Wishing Wand
9-12: A Guayabera for Tico/Falling Estrellas
9-13: Crabby Boots/Papi's Picnic Party

Now for some stupid reason, Paramount+ and other streaming services have the idiocracy to split the season of their original SVOD TV shows into smaller chunks and put into three smaller batches released in later parts of the year. So unfortunately, you're gonna have to wait until Hispanic Heritage Month for the second half of the episodes to be released.

Dora the Explorer: Say Hola to Adventure! is the recent of classic properties to jump onto the all reboots and no original ideas allowed train, among the likes of Blue's Clues & You! which is set to be cancelled after the fifth season, Franklin & Friends, Face's Music Party and the upcoming Apple TV+ reboot series Yo Gabba Gabba!land, the latter of which set to release on August 9th this year.

Apple TV+ Says Magic WOrds for August 9 Release Date of Yo Gabba Gabba! Reboot

 The iTunes streaming video service Apple TV+ is set to reopen its doors to the magical Nick Jr. town of Gabbaland with the reboot series of the 2007 classic Yo Gabba Gabba!, set to bow on Apple TV+ on Friday August 9th. DJ Lance and his magical mascot creations are back to razzle dazzle and go crazy for a whole new generation of old and new fans alike.

The new series (Season 5, 20 x 22-minute episodes) was first announced in September 2021, two months after following the death of hip-hop rapper Biz Markie, who did the "Biz's Beat of the Day" beatbox tutorials segment on the original series, but up until now, hasn't gotten any first looks or official release dates for the platform.

All the classic team and voice cast return for the new episodes, including Leslie Hall, art teacher Mark Mothersbaugh of DEVO who also created Rugrats for Nickelodeon and Dance A Lot Robot for Disney Channel, composer and songwriter and former Aquabats! prince Adam Deibert as Muno the tall and friendly cyclops, Emma Jacobs as Foofa the pink and happy flower bubble, Amos Waterine as Brobee the little green one monster, Erin Pearce as Toodee the cat-dragon who likes to have fun and series creator and Aquabats MC bat commander frontman Christian Jacobs as Plex the magic robot, as well as Joel Fox who plays the stupid cry baby Gooble. The new series also introduces us to DJ Lance Rock Robertson's new co-host, his son Kammy Kam, played by 12-year-old Karryn Smith.

It's currently unknown who the Dancey Dance celebrities and Super Music Friends Show artists will be for the new generation, although The Aquabats and Devo are most likely to return. It's also unknown who will be the new beatbox instructor since Markie is no longer with us.

The new YGG sequel reboot series will be dubbed to Yo Gabba Gabba!land and is the latest installment in the long line of Apple TV+ reboots of classic children's shows from decades gone by, which also includes the successful 2019 comeback of PBS Kids and CBBC's Ghostwriter and a welcome return of Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock which recently premiered its second season.
