In the 80s, PBS was a bit ascendant: it had a collection of programming that I think has never since been matched, which was all naturally very empathetic in tone. From my childhood, I particularly remember
- Voyage of the Mimi (with a young Ben Affleck!)
- Read All About It
- An adaptation of Bridge to Terabithia (part of the WonderWorks series)
- How to be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days (Also WonderWorks)
I’m sure there were others, but I remember these vividly and they definitely helped shape me…
