You Are DPTV
I started watching DPTV when I was about 2 years old, and I've been hooked ever since. You couldn't keep me away from finding out what was going to happen next with Big Bird and Snuffaluffagus, or what Mr. Rogers had in store for me that day. Later I graduated to great educational shows like Reading Rainbow, and then Nova. Now I watch PBS for two reasons. First, it has quality programs that cover the spectrum of entertainment and information, second, it reminds me of home. :) Cara Alcantar
