Keeping up with today’s educational television
When we were young children, educational television was a part of many of our daily lives. Shows such as “Sesame Street,” “Mr. Rogers,” and “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?” were put on so we could watch entertaining television while still learning that Rockapella could carry a heckuva a tune. As I grew up, certain shows still taught me lessons, however as I aged, the lessons became more about the subject of life. I learned on “Beverly Hills, 90201” that you couldn’t drink before prom, because if you did and got caught, you couldn’t graduate. That is unless everyone at your school started chants of “Donna Martin graduates” for you. Considering my name isn’t Donna Martin, it probably wouldn’t have worked. Prior to learning that lesson, I was taught that you can’t play hide-and-seek and hide in a refrigerator. Thank you Punky Brewster. I also learned how to administer CPR in that episode. As an adult, I continue to learn lessons that help me become a better person.
