Revision as of 22:57, 23 February 2019

In September 1999, PTV Park was rebranded into PBS Kids. With the subsequent introduction of Dot and Dash, bumpers were also produced featuring characters from different PBS Kids shows. These bumpers have gone down in history as some of the most creative promos and bumpers in the world.

Many of them were available on YouTube, but became lost again between 2013 and 2014.
