Top Ten Educational Kids Shows
With shows like The Day My Butt Went Psycho, Sanjay and Craig and Breadwinners, these educational shows are long-forgotten.
Sesame Street is a long-running American children's television series, produced by Sesame Workshop and created by Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett. It is better even than shin chan, shin chan is already a one that really make everything, I count Sesame Street we're bad but got good for the kids like every other good kids franchise.
How is the longest running educational kids show with the most variety not at the top?
Should be number 1!
It has great messages, teaches good lessons and it's super cute!
Teaching preschoolers the ABC's and 123's for nearly 50 years.
Blue's Clues is an American children's television series that premiered on Nickelodeon in 1996. Producers Angela Santomero, Todd Kessler, and Traci Paige Johnson combined concepts from child development and early-childhood education with innovative animation and production techniques that helped their viewers learn.
In 1995, Steve Burns auditioned for the show and hosted the show from 1996 until January 2001, with his final episode "Steve Goes to College" airing in 2002. Then, from 2002 - 2006, Donovan Patton hosted the show as "Joe". The final episode "Meet Blue's Baby Brother!" aired on August 6th, 2006. I think that this show is very awesome because I grew up with it, and I think that it is very useful for little children. I also like Steve/Joe/Kevin's listening skills because they are very funny. I hope it gets revived for a 7th season sometime in the future.
Hallelujah someone has actually remembered the actual presenter on the UK version, it did come from America but had different versions.
This and Sesame Street are tied for me!

This show is educational. Peg sings while solving each problem and teaches little kids math skills. I wish this were around when I was a little kid.
VeggieTales is an American series of direct-to-video children's computer animated films created by Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki featuring antropomorphic fruits and vegetables in stories conveying moral themes based on Christianity Veggie tales is amazing!

SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated television series created by marine biologist and animator the late Stephen Hillenburg for Nickelodeon. SpongeBob is currently the most popular show on Nickelodeon, as well as the longest running show, running for 23 years, and is beginning its 13th season. The show revolves around a sea sponge called SpongeBob SquarePants and his adventures under the sea. The show is considered to be one of the best Nickelodeon and cartoon shows of all time. The first few episodes taught us life lessons, like not to be funny for friends or never to give up. Not the stupid stuff the new episodes give.
This is not educational
I loved this show!

Mister Rogers' Neighborhood is an American half-hour children's television series that was created and hosted by namesake Fred Rogers. How is this not #1? This man devoted his life and career primarily to help children grow in both maturity and understanding of love and the world around them. He always made sure to remind each of his viewers that they are special just for who they are. The whole down- to-Earth simplicity of the show proves that you don't need ginormous special effects or crazy bizarre characters to captivate your young audience. Just a real world setting and a friendly guy who wants to welcome you to his neighborhood.
This classic show teaches children how to properly manage their emotions. In some episodes, Mister Rogers would visit a factory to see how things are made or invite a guest star to talk about their profession.

Caillou is a Canadian educational children's television series that was first shown on Teletoon (both English and French versions), with its first episode airing on the former channel on September 15, 1997; the show later moved to Treehouse TV, with its final episode being shown on that channel on October 3, 2010. The show was animated in Canada by CINAR Corporation (later Cookie Jar Entertainment), In season 5, the show was animated by South African-based studio, Clockwork Zoo. The show, based on the books by Hélène Desputeaux, focuses on a four-year-old boy named Caillou who is fascinated by the world around him. Caillou is trying to be educational, but it taught kids to be whiny brats. Caillou should, hence, be removed from this list. Good thing it's no longer airing.
