I only watch PBS! They have more shows than I can watch in a month. Every show I watch I learn something new. The documentaries are amazing and Masterpiece Theater is full of literature, drama, stories done at top level. Walter’s List of series from around the world I will binge watch every series through all seasons then find another amazing one. Please support PBS and NPR in any way you can! Federal funding has been taken away, so it is up to us to keep them going! Let’s keep them stronger than ever! And try to support Rural stations too as their need is even greater! Thanks for all you do. PBS IS THE BEST! I only watch PBS! They have more shows than I can watch in a month. Every show I watch I learn something new.

My mother and I began watching Upstairs Downstairs when I was in high school. I’m 74 now. I love not having to listen to commercials, and hearing neutral voices delivering the news without “crises music” in the background. I love learning about history, nature and science. I appreciate the engaging dramas which focus on character development and no gun violence. Thank you. Our country would be impoverished with no PBS.
