I grew up watching PBS on WGBH TV in Boston and feasted on shows like ZOOM, Mister Rogers' Neighbor, The Joy of Painting, The French Chef, Crockett's Victory Garden, This Old House, NOVA, Frontline, The Woodwright’s Shop, Nature, Motor Week, Cosmos, The New Yankee Workshop,

I feel sorry for a whole generation of kids who will miss out due to a lack of funding
