3. I love PBS!

I watch very little TV, but when I do watch it's PBS mostly. I get four different PBS stations on my antenna, so there's always something to choose from.

It was my go-to station for my children when they were growing up. They're now in their mid and late forties. Now my toddler granddaughter loves it.

The right wing nutties have always hated PBS and mocked it because their ideology thrives if the populace is uneducated. PBS is educational TV. Sesame Street was/is "evil" in their tiny, pea-brained minds.
