I've often wondered that myself. Born in '83, I grew up on Sesame Street and Mister Rogers. When I was grade school age, I'd watch Bill Nye after school, and see Beakman's World on saturday morning. At school, we'd watch Reading Rainbow almost every week in class. I always loved the education programs. There were more shows that I saw less often, but I enjoyed too. But now there's hardly anything like that around anymore. Sesame Street and Mister Rogers are still around, but where's Bill Nye? Where's Reading Rainbow? I've looked, yet I've seen nothing on tv that makes math and science fun. I'm currently a physics major in college. Looking back to my freshman level physics and chemestry classes, the basic concepts were intuitive to me, while other students struggled. I am definitly not any smarter then them, I had just already seen the basic concepts from the science programs I watched as a kid. I'm ver disapointed to see that a lot of these shows aren't on anymore.
