Netflix just recently added one of my favorite television progams of all time to instant play, Jim Henson's Storyteller. They have both the European and Greek Myth seasons. Oh, how much I loved this as a child!
I remember when storytales and fables were big in 80s children's programing. There use to be a series on Nickelodeon that had several animated lesser known stories and few on HBO. Remember the one in the early 80s that had famous actors like Christopher Reeve that did stories like Cinderella and the Emperor's Clothes. Oh, don't forget about Ducktales. Use to love their takes on Shakespeare and Greek Myths. It was very educational and entertaining. Also, Wishbone was a good one.
There was also a show on HBO that was about children meeting famous composers and artists in history. Really loved that one as a teen.
Miss those days. I wish they would bring back such solid programming to children's television. It seems like now it is only a simple moneymaking scheme. All the educational programs are for preschoolers and everything for older children is recycled crap. Sorry, was about to go off on another tangent.
