Mr Rogers was truly a legend. I dont think anything even compares. All of the other shows listed on this video have Mr Rogers to thank for existing. I bet you the creators of all of these shows were inspired by Mr Rogers. And even then, many of them still dont know just how different his message was and the risks he took. I love that they mentioned when he shared a foot soak with his friend. The statement that made at that time was enormous and completely unheard of anywhere let alone on television. Something so simple and yet there are people today who still hold onto the old ideals that made a simple gesture like that so taboo. He was so revolutionary that there are still people around who see his message of love, compassion, and inclusiveness as a bad thing. I still hear people complain that its his fault kids think theyre special. He was a simple man with a simple message, but his message changed the world.

Really reaching with the ahead of our time angle. Forced diversity is not real diversity and what Ms. Groke said in Recess is not what being ahead of their time just white man bad revisionist propaganda. School don't teach this, but the first slave owner in North America was a black man Anthony Johnson(look it up. And neither is 5: 25 no matter what woke twitter thinks and says most kids don't need to know what a teacher's relationship are. Teach kids reading, writing, math and critical thinking skills. Which is why people want School choice and what the Parents rights and education bill in FL in their states. Read that bill again and don't take the MSM's narrative or slanderous pieces on it. Teachers like the media inject their biases, revisionist history/propaganda and play it as progressive when it is not.

I love recess I still watch it now one of my favorite segments is the one entitled recess is canceled the one where the president cancels recess In hope to get tests scores up and of course the opposite happens but teach us the importance of recess not only for the students but for the teachers as well love Arthur too especially how they taught about autism but I hated the segment Arthurs big hit

You didn't have the classic 70s reading show The Electric Company. A sketch comedy series that ran from 1971 to 1985. It had a diverse cast of characters and it taught the viewers all about reading with comedy sketches, animation and songs. It featured Rita Moreno, Bill Cosby and Morgan Freeman. I loved that show growing up in the 1970s and I learned to read and loved the show.

Dont you mean these kid shows were innovative or pushed boundaries for their time! The shows that are ahead of their time were shows that came out too soon and became popular after they were cancelled! Like Pirates of Dark Water, Eerie, Indiana, Sonic the Hedgehog, Adventures from the Book of Virtues, Project Geeker, Fillmore, Dave the Barbarian, and Catscratch!

Mr Rogers is an inspiration to everyone, we need more people like him
And seems we're on a great step; the olden generations got him and Sesame Street, later Blue's Clues, Beakman's World and LazyTown followed, and now shows like Daniel Tiger (it's direct spin-off) and Bluey are following the quality path.
All thanks to Mr. Rogers

Anyone else watch Square One TV? Now that was an awesome show that specifically made learning math entertaining. I even remember one baseball-themed segment that introduced sabermetrics over a decade before it became popular in Major League Baseball itself!
Then, of course, who could forget the most popular segment, MathNet?

So the funniest thing when they zoom in and out of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood at the beginning and end of the show I always wanted that set up neighborhood for my hot wheels and matchbox cars. Also my favorite part of the show was going on the trolley to make believe land.

I really wish Reading Rainbow was still on.
Also, Dinosaur Train, Wild Kratts, and Zaboomafoo deserve mentions. Dinosaur Train made learning about dinosaurs and earth science fun, and the Kratt brothers made animal lovers out of a generation.

I feel that Schoolhouse Rock should have a place in honorable mentions. The way that they explain and teach things through subjects like math, history, money, and science. I'm 25 and I still can't get enough of that series! Yes, yes!

Reading Rainbow and the Magic School Bus were both great shows. I use to watch Reading Rainbow lots of times as a kid, and I wish the Netflix Magic School Bus did a better job in continuing the magic and joy of the show.

How is Blues Clues not on this list? That was the highlight of every 2000s kids childhoods. It was the best show to watch and it taught us so many important lessons. Blues Clues is one of the best kids shows ever made.

I feel like Zoom should also be on this list. It inspired kids to get creative and come up with fun hands-on projects surrounding science, cooking, literature, and all sorts of fun hobbies.

What about total drama? That was a diverse show before diversity became a thing and it explores a lot of characters breaking through gender defined boundaries

As a 90s kid I am so happy I got to grow up watching most of these shows! There are newer shows that are also great (like Bluey) but these just feel so special.
