Why This Channel Used To Be More Inspired

1. One of the best Children's networks.
2. They first launched a new program called Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
3. They have great well-known shows, like Sesame Street, Fizzy Lunch Lab, The Magic School Bus, Arthur, The Berenstain Bears, Curious George, seasons 1-8 of Cyberchase, Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman, WordGirl, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood (and its sequel Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood), Super Why!, and others.
4. Their logos are iconic.

Bad Qualities

1. In Caillou, the titular protagonist is whiny in the first two seasons. Yet, the show itself has worsened in later seasons starting with the fourth season, though the character has slightly improved.
2. Sometimes in all shows, they're bad for a little bit until it became better.
3. Has some bad shows like seasons 1 & 2 of Caillou (except the Puppet Segments), Teletubbies (sometimes), Barney & Friends (by some older viewers), Boohbah, the HiT model and Sharon Miller eras of Thomas & Friends, season 9 onwards of Cyberchase, and Pinkalicious and Peterrific.
4. The channel went somewhat downhill since 2023, but thanks to upcoming shows for improvements, it's helpful.
