Theodore Tugboat

I had spent 4 yrs. as a tug boat specialist in the Navy when my family stumbled upon this show back in it's day. We watched when we could and were very unhappy when it was taken off the air. The stories have friendly characters and non-computer generated scenes and back drops. My children enjoy shows, especially on PBS, that make them and the characters solve problems. We really enjoyed this show due to the fact that it does, in a child-like fashion, teach problem solving skills. In a video/T.V. world w/ trains, veggies, planes, and monkeys it's nice to see them find an original story line. For those who didn't like it, there's always purple-Dino's, tel-tubs's, and bu-boo's. For those who have 2-5yr. old kids, my family recommends you look into this series, your kids will enjoy it.
