On Saturday, February 19th, the House of Representatives voted 235-189 to pass a continuing resolution that eliminates funding for public broadcasting. I put together this handy chart on why PBS is worth saving. Find out how you can fight back at 170 Million Americans.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I am Creative Director for PBS KIDS but a life-long supporter/watcher of PBS ;

As much as we try not to be like our Mothers, I grew up watching PBS and seeing my Mom donate to PBS and now I do the same thing.
The quality of the programming on PBS is superior and beyond the scope of what the rest of American Television offers. No one craps out quality like PBS. You can quote me on that crap thing.
Sign me up for pledge week. I’ll go on TV and drive the money out of alllllll the sons o’ guns.

I read that the vast majority of the donations to our American PBS station were from Canadians.
So remember:
For every 1 US dollar in federal funding, PBS gets 6 dollars from Canadians!!

I love PBS. 

Do it for Austin City Limits, The STREET, Mr. Rogers, Bob Ross with The Joy of Painting, Reading Rainbow, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW, and that one Jonestown documentary they show every year and I always sit down and watch like it is the most interesting thing to exist….

You know most of their music documentaries are pretty good too…

AAAAANNNNNDDDDDD now I am awfully sad because I always forget how much I watch PBS.
