The Children's Menu
BAF welcomes the show's first guest, an early education professional, Krysti, to discuss television programs designed for children. The shows discussed start with those in the early days during the 1940s with puppet-based programs such as Puppet Televison Theater with Howdy Doody and Kukla, Fran, and Ollie. Early educational programs are also explored as well as the impacts of shows distributed by Walt Disney, Warner Brothers, and Hanna-Barbara. Finally, the timeless specials that have been watched by many generations, including a look at how Charlie Brown features focused on Halloween and even elections, among other things.
