Educational programs for children in preschool and elementary school became popular in this decade, with some lasting well into the 1980s and beyond. These included shows such as Romper Room, Sesame Street, The Electric Company and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
Well-liked animated programs included Scooby-Doo, Josie & the Pussycats, Fat Albert & the Cosby Kids, The Pink Panther, Superfriends and Schoolhouse Rock. Winnie the Pooh was a favorite amongst the preschool crowd.
Older children were entertained by Shazam, Land of the Lost and the Mickey Mouse Club. The younger set enjoyed shows like Captain Kangaroo and The Bugaloos.
