Pete, remember "Bits and Pieces" from Channel 2? Or all the cultural shorts where at the end some kid would say "I am proud to be a [Insert Race,Ethnicity] American!" There was also that crazy spanich language show before Super Friends called Via Legra.

I remember the inter-programming public service pieces on KTVU very well! Those songs still play in my head. But I don't remember Via Legra at all...

Yeah... Teletubbies.... when I was in the UK, I remember telling a friend in the US that we were lucky not to have them... then they crossed the Ocean and are part of our children's lives.
It's so great to hear you are doing well. We miss you lots and lots!!!
Your sis, heidi :)
PS- as you know, (and hated) one of my favorite shows as a child was Charlotte's Web (I guess that was a movie but I loved it!)
