Wish I could help you, Susie, but I haven't a clue when it comes to anything technical.
Oh, that Rainbow clip is so funny, PeterPan! Apparently, they filmed it to entertain the TV staff!
I also loved Sesame Street as a child, especially Bert and Ernie, but I was never so keen on Playschool.

The more beneficial to children? Play School or Rainbow?

Back to discussing television... and I know from a previous thread that Anita would have us believe she watched very little as a child!!
Yes, I remember 'A Handful of Songs'. It was a typical 1970's jolly hippy type sing along! I loved it.
I voted for 'Rainbow', though I must admit I enjoyed Playschool, but not for so long. I think Rainbow has so much more to it that can be appreciated by both adults and children. I used to love 'Rod Jane and Freddie' too, both in rainbow and later on in their own show (which I was really too old to watch, but used to enjoy!)
No...I didnt watch much television as a child either...

hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

Oh what a difficult choice - and I fear I have voted for the wrong one...
