I like that it has educational stuff for the kids and documentaries on tings for reports but to me the most that is on there is rather dull. Or packed with people asking for pledges instead of commercials.
I find that it skips over the ages 12-25 in terms of demographics because it shows kid's shows and things geared towards older people like the antiques roadshow. If they did a program that was more relevant for our age group more youth would watch it. I find that when it comes to educational TV the history channel and discovery are better.

Of course I watched this as a child in the late 90's so it could have changed. Most of the kids I knew that liked school had no social life and were often picked on. I don't feel it's right to cram more learning into a kids day. It's like coming home after a busy day of work and watching a show on how wonderful work is. As a kid I thought my parents were trying to brainwash me into liking school! read more
