Nickelodeon vs. CTW

Watching a Blues Clues video with Natalie while paying bills. The eternal question arises: how does Nick's content compare to that of the immortal Children's Television Workshop. Sesame Street is basically untouchable, but much of the other stuff of our youth has proved pretty ephemeral. Who really remembers much of Zoom or the New Zoo Review? Kids slapping their knees and saying their names. Could be it wasn't even produced by CTW anyway? Nickelodeon's content is generally pretty good, fairly educational and public interest despite being for profit. Gotta like that guy Steve in the green stripey shirt.

It's Saturday, it must be Boca Burger time, with that health-giving soy, so reminiscent of public school and convenience store burgers of different slices of yore.
