Hasn’t this taxpayer - funded program wasted enough money?

[wbill]

In 1969, it could be argued that there was a need for children's educational shows such as this. I grew up on Sesame Street and the Electric Company, and Mr Rogers (and also a dozen other kid's PBS shows...but it's not worth the digression).

Should it have been taxpayer funded? Certainly debatable, but I received a fair bit of education from those taxpayer dollars, as did all my classmates.

But now - Captain Kangaroo and Mr Rogers are long gone. The Electric Company is entertainment for kids, not education. And Sesame Street, IIRC, is a cash cow for HBO, though supporters of PBS probably want to keep that bit quiet.

Time to cut the cord, IMO.
