NBC To Debut Saturday Preschool Block

If Saved by the Bell qualifies as E/I then whay can't Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, or even the Three Stooges?

But I agree that even if E/I is repealed, the networks will never go back to Saturday morning kid's shows like they used to be, and will probably be more likely to drop them completely.

The best thing that I can see coming out of E/I being repealed is that perhaps college football and basketball will start earlier in the day. :

why? so kU can play Northeastern South Dakota school for the blind on national TV?

I've said before I'm not a big E/I fan but it's the only thing keeping Saturday mornings from becoming all news and sports at the best or trash talk and infomercials at the worst.

it's useless when shows like Saved by the Bell qualify

I think every show Disney Channel has shown has aired in its quote on quote Cable In The Classroom block on the first Tuesday morning from 3am-5am and its not educational at all. Just a way for viewers taping a series at 3am and to see this instead to throw off their series.

You barely see "Cable in the Classroom" used anymore. Teachers have the ability to pull up videos online (or VHS prerecorded if necessary).

According to the DVR recording I recorded this morning, Cable in the Classroom title was not used at all just a commercial (for Disney Channel shows) free episode then followed by 8 minutes of Disney Channel promos before the next program.

I thought the whole "Cable In The Classroom" thing was reserved for early Monday mornings at 4 AM... or at least that was the case on CNN...

"On the Spot" is E/I. It airs on the my Network station where I live. The host asks people on the street to answer trivia questions. Most can't. He gives the real answer and tries to teach us something. I guess it qualifies.

Another one [several years ago] that was E/I and had a question round was the children's show "Go For It!". However, that one divided trivia with physical challenges and musical performances, and it met E/I since there were physical challenges that the kids had to do.
