"KinderGarden" was basically a "Romper Room" for public broadcasting;"The Friendly Giant" was the earlier era's "Mister Rogers," who played a recorder & had puppets at his castle with who he would interact & read stories. "What's New?" was more of a hodge-podge, would have features with kids in them, also incorporate segments of "Field Trips" in which Boston-based folk singer Tony Saletan would visit different historical sites, such as Plimouth Plantation & Fort Ticonderoga.

One of my Sesame Street DVDs has this at the end of the pilot episode.

Notice how the announcer says "the public television network," even though the acronym for that would be "PTN." It was still NET, but obviously they were priming for the conversion to PBS.

Bob Homme was "The Friendly Guiant," and his show was originally based in Minnesota, but moved to Canada, where he became something of a national celebrity for the CBC, on par with "Captain Kangaroo" and "Mister Rogers" in the states.

That sounds very sad to me. That could used to describe both shock and disappointment. For instance, the reaction of friends and family when they find out that the person they always loved, who was very likeable, smart, and had a bright future ahead but throws it all away because it turned out that they had another side to them that nobody ever knew at all.

Saw it on B+W TV when it was new. Not a 'soft-sell' approach. Good stuff.

Also, back then NET affiliate stations would air instructional programming (short programs ment for in-classroom use by teachers) in daytime, and in between programs would show a title card on camera with the airtime of the next program, over which an audio of a classical piece would be heard.

I think someone else on here said it was Fred Foy, longtime ABC radio and TV announcer best known for being the announcer of "The Lone Ranger"

Check out "Black Journal 1968", it has a color version of that NET logo at the beginning and end of the program. The rare color NET intro has since been posted here on KZbin.

Actually, that's a good observation! It does make me think of it once I've played it back.

In my opinion, NET was much superior to its replacement, PBS. I used to love NET playhouse. I guess NET got tagged as too liberal or some such nonsense. Anyway, thanks for posting this.

That's Fred Foy, moonlighting from his announcing chores at ABC, identifying "NET" back then.

@jokester1111 The one that scares me is the Paramount Television Logo from 1969-75.

For an example of "controversial stuff", originally aired on NET, check out "Black Journal 1968" here on KZbin, which aired after the assassination of Martin Luther King, but before the 1968 Democratic National Convention. It was produced by WGBH Boston, Massachusetts, which to this day provides the lion's share of PBS programming.

NET was waaaay cooler than PBS ever was. Why they had to change it is beyond me!

@purplemutantas 15 жыл бұрын

@sarniatownreggae Look at the wikipedia article on NET. They ran out of funding. So the government started the corporation for public broadcasting(CPB) to keep NET going. But the government wanted to have their own public TV network. So they created PBS. PBS and NET ran at the same time for a bit. But NET refused to stop showing controversial stuff. So the CPB cut their funding. Then only PBS remained.

dnm728, you could well be correct, as both NET & their affiliate stations loved to use classical music pieces, especially back then when the thinking was pop or rock music was not intelligent & that classical music was.

but it's saying this is net a public television network not this is net the national educational television network

Like literally all logos of all different companies, there exists variants of those, and this is actually is a variant. Its the 1968-1970 variant that just doesn't have the national educational television phrase on top of the letters, like the 1967-1968 variant.
