NIT logo

logo for National Instructional Television, shown before many PBS educational programs for children in the 1970's. A bit crooked there but you get the idea.

What's the film print this is from the beginning of? Thinkabout? Bread and Butterflies? Inside Out? The Letter People? The Metric System? Freestyle?

hi nantoshichoken, I have some Thinkabouts and they don't have the NIT logo, Inside/Out does. The Metric System - get outta here! LOL I will probably have the woman's voice (singing the title) embedded in my brain until I die. I would think TMS and Letter People were too late for the NIT logo, Freestyle I don't recall, and B&B I'm not sure I ever saw...our local PBS stations didn't show it, I just got teased by seeing it in the listings all the time.

I vaguely remember the show Freestyle. I remember the title, but no details of the show. Do you have Inside/Out vids? :)

Hi PooBuS, yeah I do : ) I would love to find some "Ripples", haven't ever seen those (or B&B).

@hillbillyprofane well you won't get a blank stare from me! I grew up on those shows too! My kids look at me crazy when I tell them that there were educational shows that didn't have a toy for you to buy!

NIT re-organized as AIT in 1973 ("Inside/OUT" was the last show with the NIT logo..though the AIT logo appeared at the end credits). All shows from 1973 (including "All About You")onward were AIT productions.

I totally remember this! Thanks for bringing back memories.

[hillbillyprofane]

I'm so glad other people remember these shows. Whenever I ask people if they remember "The Write Channel," "The Art Maker," "The Letter People," "All About You," etc I just get blank stares.

A complete version of the Thinkabout intro was posted (love2register2) about a year ago, and the ending was posted under it as a video response.

Yep, that RB Bug show was the "Write Channel" It was on at 10:43 on Thursday morning here on Omaha's KYNE-26 during 1980/81. I remember staying home from school one day to just to watch it!!!

[alohamrhnd]

I used to watch this stuff every morning when I was little? Are there any good websites out there about instructional programming? Does anyone remember the one that took place in a black room & there was a talking phonograph?
